I have another mandolin that I use, it has several parts and is kept in a box. The handy Cuisipro mandolin is convenient because everything is stored together (three different blades for cutting/combing, julienne, waffle and grater "snap" into the body of the device) and also has six settings for the size of your pieces. This is very handy when you don't want to worry about storage space. However, if you *really* want to worry about sharp objects, you should consider how to store the mandolin so that you don't touch any of the objects. sharp edges/grids. The downside of the device is that it doesn't have fences or boxes to store it. And the armguard is separate and has nothing to snap into, so you'll need to keep an eye on it (and avoid getting stung by the pins holding it). to the food you are cutting). I used Cuisipro for a classic - I cut up some potatoes for a casserole. On the one hand, the mandolin was covered with paper in two places, including in the area of the metal blade, which was very difficult to tear off. Second, you must remove the julienned attachment when not in use (a grater is fine where it is until you clean it). Third - well maybe it's just me, but I was VERY nervous about removing and replacing one of the blades given the effort it takes to put them back in (mine came with a ribbed blade which I'm switching to had to use the flat side of the blade to make flat slices) and was very appreciative of the pair of protective mesh gloves I always wear when using the mandolin. Parts of it are small and I can easily see hands/fingers slipping when swapping parts. Fourth, although this mandolin is a size 6/deep, it varies from very thin to not quite 1/4 inch. I had the settings on "4" to get decent sliced potatoes. It also took some time to figure out how to make even cuts with a blade. I had to play around with holding the mandolin at a certain angle to get the potatoes to cut smoothly. I don't think the blade was dull as it often worked well, but it took a little effort to get it working like that all the time. If you want a mandolin that doesn't take up a lot of space and where you don't need it, if you don't have to keep looking for all the parts (well, except for protecting your hand), and also you might not see much use, then this is the Cuisipro just right for you. However, there are other mandolins in the same price range that are slightly larger and may perform better.
