Progressive International Multi Slicer
4 Piece, Plastic & Stainless Steel, Multi Slicer, Thick Or Thin Slice & Thick Or Thin Julienne, Includes Slicer, Finger Guard & Four Slicing Options, White & Green.
As a low-cost alternative to a metal professional-grade mandoline, this versatile tool will appeal to novice cooks bent on creating uniform fruit and vegetable slices for salads, pies, tarts, and garnishes. Snap four different plates in and out of the tool to quickly produce thin (but not paper-thin), medium, and thick slices; grate coarsely or finely; julienne; and make shoestring-size french fries. A round guard grips foods while protecting your fingers as you push foods over cutting or grating edges. A handle on one end and nonskid "feet" on the other provide countertop stability. Hand wash. --Fred Brack

Progressive International Multi Slicer Reviews
I bought this mandoline on the recommendation of Cooks' Illustrated magazine, who said it's just not worth spending the money for an expensive one.
I've worked as a professional cook in a busy restaurant kitchen which had two different models of pro-grade mandolines, but I have this one at home. I recommend it to my friends as a handy, simple to operate, easy to clean kitchen gadget, great for the price. I modify pressure and speed to compensate for food characteristics and tend to use the holder only when my knuckles start to get close to the cutting surface. For home work, though, I've been using this little model with good results for over 5 years, using all its blades on all sorts of veggies and fruit (and once or twice on my knuckles when I got too lazy to use the holder). If you're slicing a zillion of something, then the complex settings of a pro-grade may be worth the troublebut then, why not use a food processor.
I love this item.I've only used It a couple time so far.It did a nice job shredding cabbage for coleslaw and slicing onions for burgers.It's a fun item to use.
Again, you get what you pay for. It works good enough for what I need it for though. I have never used a mandolin before but the ones I see chefs using are much nicer with a chute device to hold the veggie so you NEVER have to nick your finger. My middle finger is still healing from a nasty cut.
