I bought this mandolin recently. At the first use I was amazed with the quality and speed of the cuts. IN contrast after several uses my opinion is more mixed. The silicone feet on the bottom does not give a good adhesion to most travail.De plan, it would have also added a silicone membrane under the mandolin when we want to put it on a dish for making cutouts. This time it was any more traction and attention to excesses !! Finally I still managed to make me very ill with the comb that can cut into julienne vegetables by cutting carrots. When moving the hand be careful not to be too close to the cutting plane because when you get down, the comb is visible and it is possible to be very wrong. It would have been wise to place a locking system to the bottom to avoid the visibility of combs, which would not have prevented the cutting of vegetables but those hands !!! A little trick that would have been appropriate and would have avoided worries ...
