Pros: Super SHARP slicing blade, quick, easy & convenient to use
Cons: Super SHARP slicing blade (OUCH!), limited slice thickness range
Summary: Any way you slice it the Borner (also spelled Boerner) V-Slicer Plus Mandoline is a FANTASTIC kitchen gadget ...though it's so useful I hate the negative connotation of the word 'gadget' when describing this useful manual kitchen slicer.

Pros: Very sharp blades yield very clean and consistent slices.
Cons: Can do some serious damage to your finger tips if you don't use the guard.
Summary: This is an excellent piece of equipment. It actually slices like it is supposed to. Before the Borner I had one made by Pampered Chef. It was a very safe piece of equipment. In fact it was so safe it was useless! ... read more

Pros: Best hand slicer I ever used. Highly reccomend it any home chef or professional.
Cons: Used coirrectly, there are no cons. Blades very sharp, use the guard!
Summary: I have owned the V slicer for at least 20 years. I owned a pizza shop and for 6 years used two v slicers to cut all my vegetable toppings. 6 years and 50 pounds of green pepper a month, 50 pounds of onions a month, 60 pounds of roma tomatoes a month. It ... read more

Pros: Better blades than even "professional" mandolines. Groove to rest on any bowl- very convenient!
Cons: Plastic can melt if too close to heat sources.
Summary: My husband just gave this mandoline to me for my birthday last week, although I really wanted the MIU France fancy stainless steel (and more expensive) one. But I tried it out, and it sliced like a dream! So I got past the fact that it was white ... read more

Pros: A very speedy cutter versatile too
Cons: A danger in the wrong hands and the metal rods that come out.
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Fast, easy, compact. If you eat salads, this unit will be your best friend.
Cons: Doesn't cut soft items like cheese, hard eggs, and soft tomatoes well.
Summary: I use this item daily. I am on my third unit since 1990. The last two (the one I currently purchased and it's predecessor) are the Born model. I am not sure if the original one I purchased was the same maker, but the parts look the same. It is the idea ... read more

Pros: super sharp, easy to assemble and use
Cons: none, as long as you keep blades protected
Summary: My 17-month old daughter has decided that the only vegetables she will eat are green beans, carrots, and corn. Now, compared to some children, that's pretty good, but I'd like her to enjoy a larger variety of vegetables. I read a recipe recently for ... read more

Pros: makes perfect slices
Cons: very sharp
Summary: My Borner V-Slicer has made my job in the kitchen so much easier. I used to hate cooking anything that required chopping, dicing, slicing, etc. Then I found the V-Slicer. The Mandoline is about 14" in length and 6" in diameter. The ... read more

Pros: Much faster and more accurate than a knife for slicing and julienning
Cons: SHARP exposed blade
Summary: I happened upon a v-slicer in a thrift shop 10 years ago, and picked it up for $2.00. Since then, the V-slicer has been INDISPENSABLE in my kitchen. I use it at least every other day and the blade's just as sharp as ever. I especially like dicing onions ... read more

Pros: As good as mandolines 5 times its price
Cons: Does not have a waffle blade
Summary: When I first looked at the V-Slicer, I thought, no-way could this work as well as the "professional" mandolines. After all, it was plastic and about one-fifth the price.
Once I tried it, I was impressed. The V-slicer works well, and it has ... read more

Pros: Very versatile, sharp and useful.
Cons: Cannot be put in the dishwasher.
Summary: I worked for a couple of men during the Minnesota State Fair(2007) preparing veggies for the demonstration. One thing that stuck with me was how after every sale they would make the customer promise always to use the safety handle. When got mine, I said

Pros: Long lasting sharpness, ease of use and makes food prep easy!
Cons: extremely sharp, one must be careful!
Summary: I have had my V slicer for over two decades, this thing works GREAT and lasts forever. The blades are just as razor sharp as the day it was bought! I would recommend this to ANYONE as long as they were very careful while using it. It cuts fingers just

Pros: Durable, versatile
Cons: watch your knuckles
Summary: I've had mine for about 15 years. It's worth the price if only for chopping onions. Great for celery too. For those people who find chopping tedious, or can't slice evenly, It's a great

Pros: easy to use, great storage container, easy clean up
Cons: so far, none
Summary: I needed a good slicer so I did my homework on the computer to find the best I could for the least money. This slicer had the best reviews so I got one this past week. I have used it for nearly every meal since. I love it. How did I get along without it?

Pros: Very sharp stainless steel blades.
Very useful with dehydrator.
Easy to clean
Cons: Very sharp tool, demands full attention
Very hard to resharpen
Plastic construction eventually failed
Summary: 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
