Easy to use
Not sure how I lived without this now that I have it. We have had for a year or so and it is used almost daily. I bought it to make thinner potato chips and it excelled at that. But then started using it on other foods as well. Onion...perfect, picles...yup, peperoni...not bad, celery, carrot, garlic...great. the adjustment works well and its easy to clean. I would buy it again and recommend to anyone looking for micro-plane.

Very sharp and often quicker than a countertop mandoline...
I have two Microplane food slices: one with a straight blade and this V-blade version. I prefer the V-blade version.What I like: It's lightweight and easy to use. The blade is very sharp and appear replaceable. The blades are mounted with four (4) Phelps-head machine screws. I'm not sure where to purchase replacement blades. The slicer is small enough to fit in a large utensil drawer whereas a mandoline typically requires cabinet space. The thickness of the cut is easily changed via a large dial on the undersurface of the tool. It is very easy to clean though they recommend no dishwasher.Where it can be improved: almost universally mandolines and slicers of this nature use a hard plastic tool for holding food and protecting fingers. When looking at reviews of these tools, it is almost equally universal that most people feel these safety guards are inadequate protection. It's been my experience that most don't hold food well and this encourages one to forgo using the safety device. I use cut resistant gloves to overcome this issue, but this slicer shred through those pretty quickly. I was probably a little careless having a protective layer on my hand. This led me to not use either the (shredded) glove not the hard plastic shield provided with this too over Thanksgiving, and though being careful, I sliced my middle finger and finger nail about halfway through. Four weeks later the finger is still healing.My temporary solution which is working pretty well is to: (1) use a pair of steel or aluminum ice cube tongs to hold the food piece; and (2) use a little excess food. For instance, if the recipe calls out for four sliced radishes, I measure the weight of four whole radishes on a scale, mark that down, the slice five radishes. I then reweigh the sliced pieces in a dish using the tare weight method until i have enough slices to add up tot he total weight the recipe calls for.Ice cube tongs can be found online or most kitchen stores.If mandoline designers and Microplane designers read these reviews, they can be rest assured most of them have the cutting tool designs pretty well defined. What they need to concentrate on are the safety tools that come with the tools. A little creative design effort here with ample preproduction testing could go a long way and might give you an edge in a competitive market.
