Review on Progressive International PL8 1000 Mandoline Slicer by Kurt Ferguson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The weakest links ruin the strongest products

This mandolin has all the features you need. Variable thickness, wavy blade, julienne blades in two levels, crossguard and guide. It feels solid and the design is well done. It works wonders for half the price of a professional stainless steel model. But then he falls. Plastic parts, especially side adjustment knobs that allow you to change depth, blades, etc. are fragile. If they break - and they will - it becomes useless. Until then everything is perfect. It's expensive for something you know will break. If you mean business, then spit. This one will serve you well until it breaks.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Annoying
