Product Overview
The Geedel Mandoline Vegetable Slicer is an adjustable mandoline style kitchen tool that can be used manually to slice, shred or grate vegetable and cheese products and most types of foods.
The mandoline has stainless steel interchangeable drum units and utilizes a hand-crank to process food so you do not have your hands in close proximity to the exposed cutting blades.
Included with the mandoline is a suction base which provides a non-slip surface while it is being utilized on smooth countertop surfaces.
Customers Say
Many customers feel the Geedel slicer is faster & simpler to utilize than a conventional handheld grater. Many are very happy with how easy it is to use when they're making large quantities of veggies, or cheese.
Many reviewers feel good about the ability to easily switch out the various drums which allow you to get the best possible cutting action for your needs (slicing, shredding, etc.).
Some of the many positive comments on this product include that the hand crank keeps your fingers away from the blade and that it's much easier to perform repeated tasks in the kitchen when using the hand crank.
Also, some customers have mentioned that all of the parts come off so you can wash them after each time you've used the product.
Most of the negative reviews have been based upon the suction base. Some people have complained that sometimes the suction base will not stick well enough to their countertop. Some of these problems were due to the fact that there was something stuck to the counter top and it was not smooth.
Additionally, a couple of customers have complained that sometimes, if you put a large piece of food through the feeder, you'll need to cut it down to size so it fits better.
