Review on Swissmar Borner V Prep Mandoline V 5000 by Sonia Hills

Revainrating 5 out of 5

What's not to like?

This is a wonderful Model 1001 with various accessories. The catch bowl is included in the scope of delivery. Customization is limited, but I've always found 2 slice thicknesses and julienne sizes to be adequate. As with all mandolins, grab a clipped glove for use with mushrooms and the like, but the included vegetable holder is great for everything else. Washes clean except for red things or carrots. Gentle washing of hands, careful handling of a terribly sharp blade are suitable for this. Besides, everything stays together. The V-blade cuts through almost anything with ease, but be careful with sweet potatoes. They can blunt the blade that cannot be removed and sharpened.

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Not reliable
