Bron Coucke 15000 "The Chef" Stainless Steel Mandoline with 4 Interchangable Blades

I brought this some time ago and cut my hand twice trying to cut potatoes. I thought it was the grip on the guard blocking it. Hence some time later I got the courage to try eggplant. Still having trouble slicing. The blade should be razor sharp but its not. After taking it apart, It in fact, looks a bit rigid. I was so excited to purchase this after graduating from culinary school but I find that my knife has better quality and more reliable. Very disappointed for the price I paid.

A high-quality mandoline is an absolute MUST HAVE in any commercial kitchen. And these are most certainly as high quality as they come. Blades stay sharp, cuts are consistent. We've never had a problem with ours! Watch the tip of your fingers...these are very dangerous!

Built well, but the blade replacements have to come from out of the United States, and are a bit expensive. In one year, we’ve had to replace the blade once, and are now shopping for a different brand. The set screw has loosened up, causing the blade to move and damage product - this is something that just started a week ago. However, we slice approximately 100lbs of onions with this slicer, so we are assuming that is high volume for this product - hence the 3-star review.

This thing is a beast. Easy to adjust the thickness, comes with additional blades for making fries. Still sharp after heavy usage for lotus roots.

A mandoline is an essential tool in our kitchen and this particular mandoline is the best we've ever hard. Durable, easy to use and clean and doesn't take up too much space. And to call the blades sharp is an enormous understatement.

We use this for slicing onions, tomatoes and cucumbers for our prep table. This mandoline is sturdy and does the job well, Extra blades are helpful. Overall a good buy for restaurant use.
