This Mandolines & Slicers give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Heavy Duty, but blades not sharp!
I bought this thinking it would be so much easier than a knife....wrong! it mushed my tomatoes, barely cut my onions. And this is with brand new blades! Ended up giving it to Habitat for humanity. Did not want to put it on ebay due to the dull blades. Waited too long to return it to amazon. Stay away from this one. Ended up buying a swissmar v slicer, cheaper, and works beautifully!
2. Great overall but could be improved.
I love the compactness, ease of use, ergonomics, and durability of this mandolin. However, the large support does not lock into place when it is folded and has a tendency to flop around when being handled. I would recommend some kind of tension lock similar to the one on the short support to keep it in check. I also feel that having the main slicing blade perpendicular to the slicing direction reduces the ease of cutting. Possibly an angle to the blade would make slicing denser tubers such as beets easier. I have a plastic Bron mandoline that has a "V" blade that slices much easier than the MIU slicer.

Go from slice to julienne just by turning the knob!
There are no blades to change out when you want to julienne. All the necessary blades are firmly attached in the mandoline. By removing four (quality-made) cap nuts you can remove the flat slicing blade to sharpen it. If you don't want to sharpen it yourself, the company sells replacement blades. Everything (except for handle, knob, foot grabs and safety guard)is quality stainless steel of a nice thick gauge.
I also have (and had it first) a OXO mandoline with a V slicer. There are too many steps involved in changing out blades to create a julienne cut or a waffle cut, so I just didn't bother doing either--just did straight slicing with the OXO. Now, with this new super-duper mandoline I think I will go julienne-crazy for a while.
Just by turning the knob you can send the mandoline through its paces: From its lock/zero position, turn the knob clock-wise and you are at the position to do a small 1/8" julienne; turn knob again and it will click into position...
