OXO Good Grips Chef's Mandoline 2.0

A wonderful device that helps with kitchen tasks. It is easy to use and safe.

I bought this mandolin because it was recommended by ATK. TOTALLY WORTH IT!! I LOVE using this time-saving tool!! Very easy cleanup!! Highly recommended!!

I think America's Test Kitchen got it right -- the Oxo mandoline is tied for the best on the market -- but the slicing blade really isn't very sharp. That makes it problamatic for slicing soft stuff, like tomatoes. The good features are a high degree of stability and ease of adjustment for slicing. The safety is fairly high with a food holder that's generally easy to use. The brand that's tied may be more difficult to use (although it's a favorite of professionals) but it has a much sharper blade. For slicing potatoes or other firm vegetables (summer squash, carrots) the Oxo is excellent, but for soft stuff (tomatoes again) a sharp knife, a serrated edge knife, or a mandoline with a knife edge blade, would be a better choice.

I’m reasonably good with a chef’s knife. There are times, such as any gratin potatoes or julienne carrots, where more precision (or greater safety) are required. I have used this mandolin quite a few times since receiving it. It has performed nearly flawlessly. There are several features which in my opinion make it stand out among mandolins. Safety. Mandolins must be used carefully. This unit has a locked setting where the blades are tucked away to minimize accidental cutting. The blade is removable should you think that important. The holder for slicing the food is spring-loaded with an indicator on top giving you an idea of how much remains to be sliced. It is also equipped with 3 pins which penetrate the food to lessen slippage during use. With those in mind I use and recommend a cut-resistant glove. Utility. Thickness settings are achieved with a knob on one side. There is an indicator on the side with positive stops at each thickness. Moving beyond the thickest slicing setting there two additional choices for julienne slicing. The removable blade is also reversible which permits making rippled slices. The foldable foot is rubber-coated and well constructed making for good stability while using. Do remember though that those slices have to go somewhere so be prepared to move them from beneath the slicer frequently and keep your countertop reasonably dry. If you are in the market for a mandolin I can recommend you seriously consider this one.

This is a great tool I use the mandoline mostly for shredding and slicing and julienning vegetables for salads. Oxo did a great job of designing this tool. It's easy to use and easy to clean. I have no difficulty storing it in one of my kitchen drawers. It will shred cabbage and other vegetables paper thin. If you're going to be using a mandoline slicer, also buy a cut resistant glove because the hand guards that come with them are not suitable for all applications. I read the reviews here before buying the mandoline and I see that the hand guard is criticized by several reviewers. I think that may be because their applications are poorly suited to the use of the hand guard. In practice, I use the hand guard for everything except when starting to shred a large piece of vegetable like a quarter of a cabbage. In those cases, I use the cut resistant glove to start shredding, then when the cabbage is sliced small enough, I switch to using the hand guard. After a bit of experimentation, I found the hand guard to be useful for almost every application. Nevertheless, I do not consider a cut resistant glove to be optional when using mandolines. I believe they are required. Good ones cost only about ten dollars and can prevent a serious injury. I keep finding new uses for the mandoline. And I even bought a second mandoline to keep on handy on my countertop. It's the Oxo one handed model that is small and light weight.

I bought this on the recommendation of Cooks Illustrated, and to be honest, it's the worst mandoline I've ever used. I had major issues with both the blade and the hand guard. First off, the blade: it is not sharp. And when I say "not sharp" I mean "unable to cut anything." You have to forcefully slam any hard vegetables (carrots, potatoes) down into the blade just to get them through, and the slices end up jagged and uneven. You have to use so much force, my forearm was sore after attempting to make French fries. Anything softer than a potato is just turned to mush: cucumbers and firm tomatoes are turned to liquified puddles instead of clean slices. At first I thought it was user error and I was just getting used to the mechanics of a new tool. After hacking several pounds of potatoes to bits, I checked the blade on a piece of paper, and then my skin. It was only then I realized it was blunt. Completely dull, and unable to slice anything. It's like I a received a unit with a defective, entirely unsharpened blade.... and because of the single angle edge, I was unable to sharpen myself. Separately, the hand guard is really awful. The "spring" mechanism is so strong, I was unable to get any veggies to stay IN the hand guard for slicing. Zucchini, carrots, potatoes... they will all shoot out of the hand guard and across the room after loading, and you have to press down forcefully while slicing to make sure the guard doesn't come off of the vegetables. Completely useless, and a design that doesn't actually seem to solve any issues. I will say that Oxo make generally great products... I have tons that I love and use regularly. I also know that they probably would have tried to fix the issue, but the quality of the blade and design of the hand guard seemed so misguided that it was a moot point. I ended up returning this item and got a refund.

This probably works like a dream! I love it for dehydrating apples, and Au Gratin potatoes! Beware, it’s very sharp! Don’t put your fingers in blade to grab anything; use a tool of some kind. Just turn knob to adjust size.

Why didn’t I buy this years and years ago?! I originally was going to buy a cheaper one, but some of the reviews made me think of things such as the mandolin bending if you press down on it too hard, blade going doll, fast, etc. So I decided on this brand and this particular mandolin after doing much much research! Boy, this did not disappoint! This is truly an amazing tool and should be in everybody’s kitchen. it is extremely well-made, strong, heavy duty, great features, easy cleaning, easy blade adjustments, nice color, well I could just keep going on and on. I got this on sale at Amazon for $50. You could always set a price alert on the price watch website (CamelCamelCamel) and it will alert you when the Amazon price reaches the price you specify. it also shows the price history of this product on Amazon. It would be so worth it to be a little patient and get this beauty if you’re unable to get it now. I 110% recommend this!

The product’s quality is quite lovely. I appreciate the various mechanisms and options it provides. However, I was surprised that the blade was not sharp enough to cut anything and was not ready to use straight out of the box.

In precedenza ho acquistato un altro tipo di mandolina tutta in plastica, chiaramente dal costo nettamente più basso circa 1/3 della Oxo......devo dire che i soldi spesi per la Oxo sono assolutamente ripagati da un prodotto di qualità molto elevata, i pregi: -robustezza -precisione -stabilità -taglio impeccabile -lame affilatissime -facilità di pulizia -porta alimento ben fatto che evita spiacevoli tagli in sintesi un prodotto molto ben fatto.

This is an excellent machine. Oxo items are always robust, easy to use and well made. Despite this, I sent it back because it was a little too large for everyday quick use. It is a sharp, precision item and if I used it several times a day I would have kept it, but I decided to go instead for the smaller Oxo mandolin, which is smaller to store and is quick, handy and easy to use,

大きいサイズのプロフェッショナル向けマンドリンスライサーですが、うちでは家庭用に購入しました。同じOXOの家庭向けスライサーと比べると２倍以上の大きさです。ですが、この大きさのおかげでキャベツ半玉を乗せて直接千切りキャベツが出来ます。他にも棒々鶏や冷やし中華などに使うキュウリの千切りや網目切りのポテトや人参を作るツールが一体化しています。何より主要部がステンレス製なので、キズや変色も無く衛生的です。またカッター部がそっくり取り外せるので、目詰まりの清掃が瞬時に出来ますし、シャープナーを上手く使えば斬れ味の再生も出来そうです。大きさも価格も家庭用OXOスライサーの２倍ですが、作業スペースの確保さえ出来れば、カット形状が１種から４種に増え、グリップやスタンドが付いて作業が楽になるなど、機能も性能も格段に向上します。日本語の取説等は付属しませんが、スマホカメラ連携のGoogle翻訳で内容は十分確認可能でした。 OXO製品全般に言える事ですが、品質が良くても入手は困難。今回も仲介頂きました千福商会さんにてアメリカでの在庫確保から輸入・国内検品から配送手続きを経て１０日間ほどで到着しました。迅速で丁寧なご対応に感謝申し上げます。

Tolles Gerät. Warum hatten Martina und Moritz das nie? Bis heute schneidet es meine Zwiebeln hauchfein. Feiner geht's nicht! Habe jetzt auch mit der Rückseite des Messers Hobel für meinen grünenen Papayasalat geschnitten: einfach Messer rausziehen und umgedreht wieder reinstecken. Einmal war das Schneidmesser verrutscht und schnitt auf einer Seite dick, auf der anderen dünn. Habe es dann durch den Dreher nachjustiert. Seitdem alles in Ordnung. Bestes Gerät, das ich je gekauft habe.
