There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I also like the fact that the dials let you choose up to 5 thick/thin settings. I haven't had to go above or below the settings available. And the thinnest setting is prefect for making potato chips for frying or baking. I've only used the waffle setting once but it was very easy and worked great. Again, all there was to switch over to it was to turn the dial for the blade to the other side. My fingers were never near the blade during this.
If you read this and other reviews and someone mentions the blade is dull and wouldn't cut anything, I can only tell you this was DEFINITELY not the case with mine. Right out of the box it sliced through a 3" sweet potato like it was a hot knife cutting marshmallows. I'm going to assuming this was a manufacturing issue that they have resolved. This is the best mandoline out there for the money. Don't spend a penny more or less. This is the one!
I was concerned that the combination of buttons and pull knobs would be a pain, but they are quick to manipulate while being well-made and placed. All of the knobs and buttons work easily, but are also quite secure and don’t feel flimsy. In fact, there is nothing about the PL8 1000 that feels flimsy. It feels and looks quite professional. The rear leg is also sturdy and beefy, easy to open or close, and the incorporated handle has a nice cushiony covering that feels durable. The designers did a good job with this mandoline. The only thing that would make it better was if it was all stainless steel. As a life-long klutz, I feel sure I will drop it at some point and it may break due to the non-metal parts – buttons, body, etc.
The PL8 comes in sturdy, protective box with useful quick-start information on the back. It is well-packed for shipment. The price-point was a concern to me, but after seeing and using the PL8 1000 I think the price is spot on. I did a quick review of the manual, but it is so short that, while it was informative to a degree, it doesn’t give you anything thing more than the operational basics. The manual could be expanded bit to include a few tips, suggestions, and techniques without much trouble. The manual is quite small and the English portion is a very short five pages, but there is also a Spanish language version at the back.
One thing that concerned me before purchase was the food handler guide. Since it’s attached in the picture I didn’t think it was removable. It is and that will aid when slicing tomatoes since a good cut requires a zig zag approach on a diagonal blade. It removes and reattaches easily when needed for use or cleaning. The guide also has nubs at the top and bottom to facilitate holding the veggies when cutting lengthwise. Nice. I got a cutting glove for the times I’m not using the guide. Today for testing I used a nitrile glove. Not great protection, but better than bare skin.
Likes: the incorporated blades, the many choices in sizes and types of cuts, the professional quality and appearance, the speed of processing, the overall design, and the metal deck and legs. Clean-up was super easy. A rinse with my sprayer and I was done. I also like the video that shows the various things that can be done. I am slower and less clever at present, but that will change with continued use.

Dislikes: the food handler and the guide – especially the handler (zero surprise). If you lift the guide up to place food the handler falls out with a clatter so remove it first or hang on to it while lifting. The metal spikes hinder more than help. They are too few and don’t really seem to help while holding the food, even with the guide. Even then they don’t retract automatically and will come in contact with the blade if you are not careful. When not using the spikes and using the guide it works fine except that you have less cutting control. It seems to me the spikes on the handler should be spring loaded and offer at least five or six. I think I will mostly be using the PL8 1000 without the guide and handler, but with my cutting glove as I suspected before receiving. After a bit of research, part of my issue with the food handler may be my fault due to lack of experience. Time will tell. I still don't care much for it though.
For me this mandoline is a learning experience. It is my first and it will take me a bit to learn the possibilities, but nonetheless it is a quality tool. I already dropped the food guide and it didn’t break – very encouraging. I will update this review and the stars once I know more.
* There are 4 thickness you can use: 1 mm, 3.5 mm, 5.5 mm, and 7.5 mm. Or ~1/32", ~1/8", ~1/4", and ~1/3".
* Cut things straight across, or in wavy waffle cuts.
* Raise one row of julienne blades or two, depending on how matchsticky you want your food cut,
I use it to super-thinly slice apples to make apple chips, cut lots of squash to saute, slice carrots to simmer, slice and julienne a lot of veg at once to throw in stir fry (keeping them in separate containers in the fridge means dinner comes together in, like, 15 mins), slice up those previously mentioned onions before I caramelize them in large batches, and slice even more onions to keep in a container in the fridge to throw in stuff while I'm cooking. This device is my personal sous chef, and I don't have to pay it anything! I really use it at least once a week, so worth the money I paid for it.
One day my partner used it and the guard slipped off the base, which chewed up a little part of the plastic, but I sanded it down and it all works just fine. Like a rebel, I don't always use that guard anyway, but I'm stupidly careful and have yet to cut myself on it (knock on wood!).
The bad? It's a little hard to get small ends of veg out of the nooks and crannies of the underside when I handwash it. But even then, it's not THAT hard. I just had to think of something that I didn't like about it, and this is all I could come up with.
I hope it never dies, but all things do. So when it does, I hope this thing is still being made so I can get another one.

Het apparaat voelt degelijk en stabiel aan. Na een 5tal weken gebruik, braken de knoppen om de snijdikte etc te regelen af. Leverancier gaf hiervoor geen garantie. Intussen heb ik terug een goedkoper alternatief in gebruik...
qualité prix rien à redire.
