Carrots go very wrong. The potato chips are not cut through, so you have to loosen by hand.
There is a lot of loss, but hey you warned me, so I slice the leftover slices that are not past.
I did exchange the knives and was told that there was a fault on the blades and then after 3 uses it again.
Besides:
- The reed detaches in use.
- That the push button locks when the vegetable is large (although it is within template) ...
So yes it is a French product, convenient easy, but price / quality ratio as buy a good knife.
Then every time I fight and that's the mandolin wins.
I wrote to the manufacturer by making my comments to him, certainly not very pleasant, but at this price I thought I had a tool for better use.
I expect an answer but also the summer to cut zucchini into slices not too upset Mrs mandolin! but not as I remember it.
COMMENTS FOLLOWING THE FEW DAYS AFTER: I have heard and been very well received by the company's quality service. BRAVO De Buyer learn to listen to his customers and propose a solution to meet the 10/10 then I say, and it deserves 2 stars additional pending move to 5 when using the new mandolin.
