| wolfrick's Full Review: Borner V-Slicer Plus Mandoline (14") |
I received one of these as a gift in 1995, and at first I didn't think I'd use it. But soon I discovered that I was using it for more and more things.
When I got an Excalibur dehydrator, I used it to slice fruits and vegetables for drying. The two really compliment each other.
I even used it to slice potatoes for french-fries.
I kept it hanging on a nail beside the sink, so cleanup was dead simple... rinse it under the sprayer and then hang it up in its carrier to drip-dry.
I loved this slicer, until it broke. In 2004.
And it's really not all that broken. The plastic strut that runs under the insert is broken loose from one side, causing the insert to hang too low and unevenly.
I could try to glue it, but I think that maybe after nine years I should retire it and get a new one.
