Mercer Culinary M35701 12" Dual Thickness Hand Slicer

Great slicer! I have only used it a few times so far, but it does what is advertised. Slices great, be it only with two settings. Ideal for my cooking. Only thing is that it did not really explain how to change the blade from thin to thick, no instructions included. Not a deal breaker, I was just nervous figuring it out as I was afraid I might break it. I didn't! It's sturdier than it looks and now that I know it was just a little stiff to start I have no problem flipping the blade. So don't fear that the price indicates it's durability. It's priced well and works well for simple purposes. Not extravagant but well worth the purchase.

This Mercer dual thickness hand slicer is inexpensive but is a work horse, we use in dozens of times every day for veggies and potatoes.

This item worked better than expected. 2 settings is all we need. We will definitely be getting more. Great job with this item! Love it so far.

When our original mandoline slicer broke we were in need of a new replacement. We tried a couple of other options before we got around to to trying this one from Mercer Culinary. Needless to say this has been an absolute pleasure to work with. It's easy, it's clean and it's compact. Upon opening the package I was a little concerned with the sharpness of the blade but once I ran a few onions through it I was quickly relieved. I'll certainly be on the lookout for other models from Mercer in the near future as I'd like to own all of the different slicing mechanisms.

The way this little hand slicer fits over a medium sized bowl or plastic food pan is ideal. Double sided blade makes for a dual cut in the same stroke, cutting your prep time nearly in half. Thumbs up!

This slicer we as bit confusing to use at first without there being any directions for it but I figured it out and it works perfectly slicing my cucumbers!

The hand guard on this is so much easier to use than the kind with the prongs. It’s also nice to be able to have this for small batch jobs, which takes less time to clean than my countertop mandoline.

I have to admit I was a bit leery of using the hand slicer in fear that I would accidentally slice off a chunk of finger. I am happy to report that I have conquered my fear and found success with the slicer! I love being able to slice onions, bell peppers, etc, into very thin rings! However, I am always very cautious to keep my fingers behind the plastic guard. This hand slicer is a nice addition to my kitchen tools!

This mandoline is great for slicing thin and quick. So far I have used it on radishes, potatoes and tomatoes. Now it is a little difficult to get consistent cuts on the tomatoes unless very firm but it sure beats a knife.

This has saved us tons of time and money to use this slicer over just hand cutting things. I would recommend for use in restaraunts.

Now I can finally make visually appealing caprese salads and get thin slices for scalloped potatoes. I really needed one of these and love that it is handheld.

This is a nice hand slicer for smaller tasks. Sometimes I don’t want to break out and clean my mandoline when i just need a few small slices. Ensures each slice is the exact same thickness

I love my mandoline! I use it to sliced onions, yams, sweet potatoes, zucchini, squash and so much more. It's a great quality and the price is less than half of what you would pay for in a fancy store .

Wow what an amazing slicer. I no longer need to pull out my bulky mandoline just to slice an onion or potato. Slices onions perfectly and fast with no tears!

This has a nice, compact size and it gets the same job done that a larger and bulkier unit does. The blades are slightly serrated and it is a little harder to get started compared to the V-blade type, but overall it works well for the price and for occasional use. If you plan on using one of these often, I would recommend investing in something more heavy duty, but for the sporadic user, this is great!

Good little hand slicer - the two different thickness options is nice, but pulling out the blade and changing it from thin to thick or vice versa can be a little difficult - the blade doesn't always want to slide out very easily, and it makes it seem as if it's not designed to come out at first.
