I've bought OXO products in the past. I really wanted to love this. The handle is shorter than I would have liked. But my main issue is while it says it's adjustable, the thickest slices were maybe 1/8' thick. I was making sautéed onions, zucchini & canned tomatoes as a side dish. A sort of ratatouille, 70's style. I usually slice the zucchini about 1/4" thick. Because the mandolins sluced so thin I literally had to stand at the stove watching them super carefully to make sure they didn't stick or scorch. I ended up cooking 3 medium zucchini in about 5 batches. It was delicious, but frustrating to make. The next time I'll slice it by hand with a knife. I can't even imagine trying to slice a tomato 1/8" thick. Why have settings that are ridiculously thin? So incredibly disappointed.
