Borner V6 Exclusive Line V-Mandoline Slicer 8-in-1 Pro-Set, Stainless Steel Vegetable Cutter with Safety Insert, Slice Insert, 2 Blade Inserts

I bought this for my husband, and to say he loves it would be an understatement. Every time he uses it he thanks me for getting it for him. He offered to show me how to use it, but I declined. Why deprive him of the joy it brings him. Seriously, this is a great appliance.

I've been using a white plastic model of this mandoline for over 20 years, and it was beginning to get stained from use. The stainless is much easier to clean, and improvements to the way the blade attaches have made slicing much more accurate and faster. The blades are also sharper than I ever remember the plastic model being, so slicing is effortless. As for the guard, I ditched it -- it's very cumbersome and would require so much pre-cutting of the vegetables to be sliced that it becomes pointless to use the mandoline -- so, I always use Kevlar kitchen gloves or equivalent. This cutter is so sharp that you will risk major injury without protective gloves. The plastic model had notches in the sides near the bottom to make cutting over a bowl easier -- this one doesn't. Finally, although the SS cleans up easily, there are plastic structural members that make it hard to clean the blade area. I've been using it almost every day since I got it, as it makes processing vegetables so much easier.

I am convinced I have a great mandoline! Sharp, easy to use, safe to operate. I like that the storage concept prevents accidental contact with the sharp blades. I love that this one looks nice too! Two other improvements could be made: 1) I like that the mandoline parts bind together in the container for storage - but the hand shield should fit/attach in some way too! That is an essential component that should not be separated from the rest of the mandoline and blades! 2) my second request might be above standard, but I would have liked a wider cutting surface. The very first thing I needed to slice was pineapple and the surface was not wide enough to slide the pineapple across. See, I was making these awesome pineapple flowers: You cut off the top, bottom, and skin/bark of the pineapple with a knife, and then without coring the pineapple, you cut 1/8" thin slices (this is where the mandoline would have been helpful, but it wasn't quite wide enough) - and then you bake the slices in the oven. After cooking, while still warm, you place the slices into muffin tins to curve the edges upward like petals. The result is incredible, beautiful, cupped flowers! Gorgeous! Anyway, it didn't work on the mandoline, but my knife skills sufficed. And the next day I used the mandoline for 6 batches of apple chips that turned out wonderfully, and were easy, so I am glad to have this mandoline.

Have been using Borner Madolines for a long time. The last one I bought for myself was over 15 years ago. It still works great, but the light color plastic has turned color over the years. This new one is a step up and works great. Only brand I would buy.

Would recommend to anyone. It is easy to use and very easy to clean. The different blades allow for multiple cuts.

I would prefer different thickness options for slicing other than very thin or thin. My husband and I tried slicing various vegetables but still felt the slices were too thin even after switching blades. For $70+ I wouldn't recommend purchasing the Borner.

I bought this for my husband - as he loves to cook - and he's made some awesome potatoe chips and french fries using this.

awesome. works wonderfully. easy to clean.

Juste parfait, j'ai le reçu très rapidement, coupe des légumes facilement, mais il faut faire attention à ne pas se couper, très aiguisé.

Product arrived very Promptly, and Was Exactly as Discribed. I've been using börner Slicer v2 for 30 ish years. Unfortunately my Wife Melted it on a Hot Sausepan. So opted for the Stainless version. See so many Bad Reviews. Diging at the Black Plastic guide plates. If they we're Stainless the item would Triple in price. The Black plastic? Can go in the Dishwasher.

Jag gillade inte att jag inte fick min rabatt på fakturan

On a plus de chance de s'en sortir indemne avec un bon couteau !
