Benriner 186706 "Big Beni" Japanese Mandoline with 3 Interchangeable Blades

I've never used this type of mandoline until I worked at Japanese restaurant. This thing is simply amazing at shredding carrots and cabbage for garnish. The blades are super sharp and attachments are genius. The whole design is genius in fact. So easy to adjust thickness and change the blades. Best part is that you can really fine tune the thicknesses because it depends on tightening or loosening the nut on the bottom. Sharpening the blade is also possible because it is removable. It is single bevel much like a chisel. Also the blades can be bought separately if you ever need a replacement or spare.

Great piece of equipment. I use this in a professional kitchen almost everyday and it works wonders. Very sharp, give your equipment the respect it deserves. A cut glove might be needed for people who are too fast for their own good.

So, first things first, BE CAREFUL. I highly recommend cutting gloves in order to protect your fingers. No matter how careful you are, you will clip your finger(s) at one point or another. Gloves have saved me and my staff NUMEROUS trips to the hospital and I have seen some pretty sick mandoline injuries. That being said, this "Little Beni" is awesome. We have this unit and the Jumbo unit and both are just amazing. The blade is extremely sharp from the factory and it makes slicing easy. The extra blades are great if you want to, for instance, julienne a carrot etc. The other great thing with this mandoline versus some others, is that the blade itself is both removable and straight. The shape is important because it means when (not if) the blade dulls, you can resharpen it and be back in business in a matter of minutes. Highly and absolutely recommend.

hands down the best mandolin on the market. wish you sold replacement blades

Reliable , sharp, precise and dependable always

Coming up in the business a "little beni" seemed to be the go to mandoline at all the locations I worked at. Can't go wrong after using it for so many years.

This very sharp but it is great. the interchangeable blades give you options and are great. i used them to cut onions and other vegetables.

We bought this Mandoline for one small job. Slicing a few potatoes a day for Potato Pikoras. We have always been afraid of it since we first started using it. And then it happened. A small slip and off goes the tip of my Chef's thumb. The little plastic thing does not provide enough protection, and your hand can slip off of it easily. Yes, it does the job, but I suggest buy something safer.

this was really helpful for me in my kitchen. I constantly have to slice so many different things in this cut the slicing time in half. Every time I slice something it’s very consistent it cuts nicely. I haven’t had it for that long the only thing I’m worried about is when the blade gets store is there a replacement how do I sharpen it.

Little Beni is terrible. May be ok for residential use but I can't imagine wasting my cooks time on this useless tool. I think I can do the job faster without this.

I’ve used this mandolins in restaurant service before, but an using this one for home use. The Matfer brand holds true to its name for quality under the price point. I recommend this more so for home use but it does serve well in prep settings as well.

The blade on this mandoline is sharp! It's made quick work of all the fruits and vegetables I've tried before - huge fan of this tool!

This mandoline has served me well so far. The blade is super sharp and cuts with ease. The shredding blades are a nice addition. It is well constructed and should last a while.

This is an awesome small handheld mandoline that is easily adjustable, and the blades can be swapped out easily and quickly. It is also very easy to clean.

Not too happy with this one. I have a hard time keeping the blade in place, leading to different thickness on my vegetables. Cheep though.

This mandoline is razor sharp and makes prep work easy. I able to uniformly cut all types of vegetables quickly. It is very durable and a great tool to have in any kitchen

Really great piece of equipment! cuts like a dream slices evenly and effectively . super sharp for the perfect slice of cucumber or carrot or tomatoe.

Just about one of the most trustworthy items to have in your kitchen at home or in your restaurant, my only complaint is the safety guard isn't the best. Perfect to have in your utensil drawer for every day use.

Good quality and sturdy construction mandoline. Very easy to adjust cut thickness. I've only use the straight blade and it produces beautiful thin cuts. Having feet so it can sit on a workbench while slicing would make it just perfect!

I only use Japanese Mandolines because of their durability and the sharpness of the blade. This product is light weight and the interchangeable blades are perfect for julienning vegetables! I highly recommend this product

Meh. Cheap and ok. For commercial use just doesn't do it. For home use I guess it would be fine. If I can't get nice slices of a cooked beet from it then I don't know what the point of it is.

small compact design but the sharp blade does the trick as we use these to slices veggies for sandwiches in our restaurant. good value for the money

Three different blade. It have small medium and large. in order for you to use this one you might want to purchase a cutting glove.

quality is ok, does what i need it to do, i like the interchangeable blade, they come in handy for various veg and thicknesses, def a good buy.

This is the first mandoline I have purchased personally. I have used the same model in the past though, which is why I knew to get this model. Though I must say brand new out of the box is so much better. The blades are crazy sharp and it produces quality product fast. Just be careful or you'll take your finger tips right off. It is build strong and cleans easy, I would buy again.

this mandolin is sharp sharp sharp, be mindful of where the blade is at all times when using this mandoline. always use the finger guard or a cut resistant gloves when using this product.

Great product to scare your kitchen staff with. Guaranteed to slice someones finger. Do I love it, YES. Do I fear it, absolutely. Is it a need in the kitchen, you bet. So buy it, because you need it and it is a great price and solidly constructed kitchen tool. But keep the finger guard.
