Found a red one in a thrift shop. Paid $5.99 for it. No instructions but all the parts were included. This video is the first I found to figure out how to use it. Excellente!

Thank you so much for your Swissmar Borner V-1001 V-Slicer Plus Mandoline 5 Piece Set Review. It was very educational & authentic for me. I have encountered many of the same problems, when using hard vegetables with the Julienne 7mm & 3.5mm blades. I appreciate, you didn't edit out these difficulties, as it answered many of my questions, concerns, & issues with using this slicer. Please continue to post your YouTube Videos, as they are important public service videos.

I love that you were honest in your review. America's Test Kitchen made this product look like it was perfect. I am glad my expectations are more realistic now. Thank you.

I've had this exact model for over 15 years and I love it and I use it on everything and it's still works amazing. The best things about it are ease-of-use easy to clean and easy to store

I bought one of these from a garage sale 5 years ago never used... I finally pulled it out today and was confused about how it works. Thanks so much for this video!

Excellent Video! I received this as a present and had NO IDEA what I was doing. Now I am a PRO. Thank you nice Lady, great job!

Xln't video; I've had this exact model for many years and STILL enjoy using it. I DO appreciate your NOT editing out the small pitfalls when using carrots, as an example. A really well-balanced and objective video. I'm going to use mine, now, for more chopping/dicing as I'd forgotten how well it performs.

I just bought this and love it. Surprisingly easy to clean as well. As long as you rinse with warm water right after use, everything washes off right away. I bought a pair of no-cut gloves because I’m terrified of cutting my fingertips off. I use two gloves on one hand.

I have the earlier version of the V-Slicer. My late husband bought it about 20 years ago. He only used it once and it sat in its box in the back of my cupboard until last week. Had to thinly slice potatoes for a recipe so I gave it a go. It's a real time saver and now I'm getting the hang of it, I'll be using it more often.

I have has this unit since the mid 90’s. BEST kitchen item!! I use it exactly the same way. No worries about cutting myself until the veggie gets smaller then I switch to the holder😃

FYI -
I'm still new at using a mandolin, but I think that I have an answer to your potato and carrot slicing problem(in the video)... I've found that you need to increase your velocity and <not> increase pressure. The first couple passes might skate a bit, but after that if you keep up the velocity (slicing by momentum), you should be able to slice harder vegetables and tubers easily. Don't bear down!

Had mine for 15 years still working fine

Excellent presentation techniques! Well prepared, no talking heads, just right to the action and demonstration. Everything moved along, even at 16 minutes. And I bought one. :)

[headpump]

I just ordered one of these. The way it thin slices tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers sold me.
I ordered a safety glove, too!
This was a good use demonstration, but needs strong comments about safety.

[tkucey]

great video. And finally somebody shows that it's not super easy you do need a bit of strength to do hard vegetables like onions

[jenniferdennison]

Your review is the most hones and realistic one of this kitchen tool. Thank you!

[ladykenja]

- Love it, love it, love it ! ! ! I bought this model 22 yrs ago at the Home & Garden show & am still using it regularly. It's still as sharp as in the beginning. The only problem is, it's hand held. Wish it had feet.

[sallylaw]

I just got one for my birthday and your review was very helpful. I liked how you explained how to put the blades in the holder after using. Very thorough review.

[jenniferweibel]

Terrific tutorial to the written instructions! So clear about how easy it is to use and the results. Thank you!

[combsjl]

Watched several videos before I found yours - so glad I did! Yours is THE BEST!!!
