This thing is quality from one end to the other! I researched these thoroughly and this is absolutely terrific!
Get the Bron model that has four (4) rubber feet (not just two), it really helps it stay put, but you still do need to hold the back legs when slicing.

I went back and forth on whether to get this model with all the blades on board, or the one with a separate set of blades.
Glad I went with this one. All you do is make easy adjustments with the two "T" shaped metal levers to raise/lower the cutting planes, and turn the side lever to rotate the desired blade into place.

The way I looked at it...I'm going to have to wash the whole thing anyway, so the blades on board instead of separate was just fine. Yes, they're sharp, but you have to be very careful with them wether they're attached or separate.
First up, scalloped potatoes....made real short work of a 5 lb bag of taters! Probably 10 mins ....and that's just cuz I was adjusting and playing with all the doo-hickies! There was no wastage (as some have complained about with other units), food holder allowed entire potato to be sliced.
This is a strong, well built, easy to adjust and very heavy duty unit. Well worth the price. A welcome addition to my kitchen!
Pros: High quality, Durable

Review 3 for Stainless Steel Mandoline Set

Saves time and fingers for everyday easy use
PostedSeptember 12, 2011
I bought this product after careful research of what was available in the mandoline category. Had it for a week and have used it every day for slicing using the included food pusher that protects hands and fingers from the blades. Cleans up easily under running water. Do watch the online You Tube video on the Bron-Coucke 38/39 mandoline as it makes setting up and using this easier right off the bat. I'm still on a learning curve for the fancier crinkle cut and gaufrette cut veggies, but slicing is a dream and is so much easier than hauling out the food processor, being satisfied with only 1 thickness of cut, and then having to clean the food processor. Get yourself one 7mm one 10mm wrench to tighten bolts if needed (bolts have not needed tightening as yet) and also to disassemble the slicer blade for occasional sharpening. Also get a sharpening stone and some sharpening stone oil safe for kitchen use.
Pros: High quality, easy to clean under running water, use food pusher when possible

no extra blades

I'm giving it for a Christmas gift so I haven't used it.
BUT I have a different model, same brand that comes with 4 or 5 interchangeable blades with graduated widths and assumed this one had that capability. I read that the blades were fixed, but I assumed that somehow the width was adjustable. BOO!

It was delivered promptly and packed professionally. Right out of the box I knew just how to operate the mandolin because of viewing the videos on your website. Slices thin and thick exactly the way we wanted.
