I really like this OXO Good Grips hand-held mandolin slicer!!! I haven't used a mandolin in quite some time, so I was a little nervous at first. Thankfully, this slicer has a hand guard to use while slicing and storing so you aren't exposed to the blade. There are 3 different thickness levels too! May favorite thing about this product is that it can fit onto a bowl so you can slice directly into the bowl. I highly recommed this product!
