Pros: A very speedy cutter versatile too
Cons: A danger in the wrong hands and the metal rods that come out.
The Bottom Line: There are better similar cutters on the market.

| aninalos's Full Review: Borner V-Slicer Plus Mandoline (14") |
I bought one of these over a year ago. It's very efficient and I can cut things with it faster than I can by hand, and I am a professional hotelier/restaurateur.
The only fault I have found is that the five metal rods in the handle part can come out when using a carrot. The carrot is a very firm/hard vegetable, as any young lady would know, and when it impinges upon the rods it can drag one of them out and it then hits the cutting blade - if one is not careful. It then has to be extracted from the carrot and replaced in the handle. The hole in which it fits gets less and less inclined to grip the metal rod the more it comes out. Can I obtain another handle?. I doubt it, so I have bought a better quality slicer now with six blades calle a Zyliss. It's Swiss and, like Roger Federa, the number one of its class.
By the way, that fleshy part at the base of the thumb that the previous reviewer referred to is the main muscle in the hand and is called the Thenar Eminence.
There are five and not three metal rods so perhaps the last person who wrote had already lost two in the Ratatouille.
