Benriner Japanese Mandolin Vegetable Slicer 9.5cm, White: 3 Interchangeable S...

Very nice piece of kit. But it will have your fingertips off before you've even noticed they've gone. It slices a veg so rapidly down to nothing that it will move on to slicing you down to the bone in seconds. I bought a level 5 safety glove - it sliced the fingertip off that too, luckily just missing my actual finger. Have returned the glove (thanks microplane - I'm looking at you...) and ordered one made of stainless steel wire. Don't even think about using this without a safety glove, and keep the glove on whilst washing and drying the thing. It is utterly lethal. Presumably a professional chef is less of a clutz than me. But you have been warned! Great for juliennes, gratins, that sort of thing. You can slice MUCH thinner than with a knife or even a Kenwood slicer attachment style thingy.

There's a reason why this is the standard in professional kitchens - it's in a totally different league to my previous run-of-the-mill mandoline. It's sturdy, easy to adjust, easy to clean, and produces outstanding results. Well worth the extra outlay. BUT - the blades are so sharp that a moment's carelessness could land you in A&E with a serious injury. This is a very real danger. So I've invested in a standards-compliant cut-resistant glove, and together with proper technique I should be safe. I suggest you get the glove from a specialist trade supplier - the knock-offs available on Amazon don't inspire confidence.

I've dithered for years over buying a mandoline, and I wish I had done it sooner. This one is pricey, but really sharp and robust. The blade is removeable, so I will be able to [carefully] sharpen it when it dulls. Replacement blades are also available. Easy to adjust thickness with large screw mechanism. Easy to clean - assuming you are just using it for vegetables etc - rinse under tap with a sponge (careful with that blade). Very happy indeed :)

Originally purchased the OXO mandolin, which had a lot more going for it, other than the most important item, the blade. The difference between this blade and the OXO is chalk and cheese. The mandolin is pretty basic, feels pretty cheap and overpriced compared the OXO, but it performs really well, the blade is very sharp so makes the whole experience satisfyingly good. One last note, the hand guard is fairly useless, would buy a stainless steel glove, which IMO is a better option than guards in the first place….but either way, would never use without one or the other if you care about keeping the tips of your fingers attached.

Lovely and sharp easy to clean . Great addition to kitchen

Professional kit and significantly cheaper than I found in cook shops. I have used numerous Benriners. They are very good. Functional, not fancy.

Bought this to replace our bron coucke heavy stainless steel mandoline. This model is much simpler and easier to use, is easy to clean, very sharp and I am more than happy.

Really disappointed with this. The removable blades are quite blunt, so only capable of cutting very soft uniform vegetables like courgette, and only when pushed through with considerable force. It's useless for onions despite the instructions showing this as working - you end up with a half-cut onion that breaks apart under the force required to push it though.

Solid product

商品が曲がって届いた。実家に発送したため、返品出来ず困りました。 真っ直ぐじゃなく、ふにゃっと曲がってます。 高い買い物じゃないですが、使えないものを送られてイラッとしました。 実家なので、私が行くことも出来ず返品できないので、星1にしました。

Utilizzata da poco tempo e risulta molto valida. Da valutare la durata dell'affilatura. Unica piccola pecca la manopola di regolazione del piano e' un po' dura.

Quality as expected 👍

Je voulais une mandoline de bonne qualité pour pouvoir trancher des aliment en lamelles très fines. Je suis complètement satisfaite: Le modèle Benriner BN-95W peut trancher des lamelles de 0,5 mm d'épaisseur ! J'ai choisi une largeur de coupe intermédiaire (ni trop étroite, ni trop large). Je trouve que les dimensions sont idéales pour un usage domestique. Le réglage de l'épaisseur de coupe est très facile avec la molette prévue à cet effet. Le démontage et nettoyage est également très facile: on dévisse la molette du dessous et la partie basse de la mandoline s'enlève. On peut donc nettoyer les éléments très facilement. Manoeuvre inverse pour le remontage, ça se fait en un clin d'oeil. On peut aussi rajouter d'autres lames pour faire des bâtonnets. Attention lors de l'utilisation et du nettoyage car les lames sont extrêmement coupantes. C'est d'ailleurs ce qui rend cette mandoline super efficace. Je recommande vivement ce produit, il est génial !!!
