I received the Mandoline a few days ago and my initial thought was that I needed a degree in Mechanical Engineering to figure out the blade changing and storage.  However, after a few attempts, I figured it out!  I used it last night, using 3 different blades, for a really pretty veggie salad.  I love the stability of the legs, the really large hand guard, and the width of the platform. It was a pleasure to use, easy to clean and then it all packs back together again for storage.  Love it!!
