After I ordered this Gemüsehobel even after the reviews, I'd like my views saying: He is really very hot, yet ,, when I want to planing very firm vegetables then it is too small for me. One must then extremely pressing and is afraid that he breaks through then. Because it is small, the contact surface is often very limited. Immerhin..ich him had for some time and he does almost every day the service here. This vegetable slicer is a great part, but very firm vegetables, among other things, you should still have at hand a vegetable slicer of a number is greater.
