16 Best Tried and True Japanese Mandoline Slicers in 2022 (Nitori, Suncraft, and More)

This is designed for shredding cabbage, and it worked really well for that. The cabbage came out softly shredded - not too thin or watery. Even though you can't adjust the thickness, the blades are so sharp that we had no trouble using it. 

The veggies just breeze right past the blade with no resistance, and without getting stuck. The cucumbers we tried didn't come back through, and they didn't get caught in the gap, so there was no mess to clean.

We weren't able to slice very quickly, but it worked so well that we ended up saving time anyways. The handle is easy to grasp and the blade mounted securely. There are four notches on the bottom to hook it onto the rim of a bowl to catch your finished vegetables. We recommend it unequivocally!

This mandoline slicer is wide and has an adjustable thickness function. The large dial on the back allows you to change the height of the blade , but there isn't any indication as to measurements. For our tests, we used the smallest setting.

The cabbage we shredded came out great; the thickness was consistent and it was soft and not watery. The cukes also were sliced without issue by the super-sharp blade. 

There are a lot of grooves and gaps here and there, so it will require careful cleaning. We also would have preferred an easier way to see how much you're adjusting the thickness dial. But overall, we like this slicer and think it's perfect for more experienced, careful cooks to expand their range of dishes.

This sharp slicer doesn't have a thickness adjuster, but it worked really well to slice our cabbage. The shreds came out finely-sliced, with few wasted pieces and little wateriness. 

It's comfortable to use, but the handle is bar-shaped, so that required some getting used to. However, it's large and stable. We really liked how safe it is when you store it away, because the safety holder locks on to the main body. We felt like we were really getting our money's worth with this one.

We liked how the blade on this one can be adjusted to four different angles, including flat for safe storage. The handle is stable and easy to grip. The food holder has long pins which grab the food securely, and it can be attached to the body for safe storage. 

However, when we sliced the food on the lowest setting, the cabbage came out a bit too thin and it got a little watery. And when we did the cucumbers, they stuck and returned through the gap onto the slicer. We also noticed food waste getting stuck in gaps and the moving parts.

This has three blades, so each stroke is three times as efficient! It gave us soft shredded cabbage that wasn't watery. 

However, to get the most out of this machine, you'll need some tips. The slicing requires a large stroke; if you don't push the veggie all the way down to the end of the tray, the slices won't separate. But once you get used to it, it will be a great time-saver.

Since this one is built to handle cabbage, you'd expect it to do that well. In fact, it shreds cabbage, but the results were just average. It was better than cutting it with a knife, but the thickness can't be adjusted.

Slicing cucumbers was fine since the slices dropped and didn't stick. But we weren't fans of the handle shape, and there's a gap near the blade where food can get stuck, making washing a bit tedious.

If you're low on cash but really like home-cooked meals, this can tide you over good slicer until you can afford a better one. It's sharp; and although our cabbage came out a bit watery, it was soft and a relatively uniform size. 

The thickness has 7 levels of adjustment. We didn't like how hard you have to push to use it, and the blade moves around a little. Also, the cucumber slices got stuck and came back through onto the slicing tray.

This is very sharp and our cabbage came out soft and not at all watery. The handle can be gripped firmly, and with a slightly downward curved shape, it's comfortable to use. The vegetables don't even make much sound when they slide over the blade! 

There are 5 thickness levels, including one for storage, which are easy to use. However, there are many gaps, making washing difficult, and the lack of a food pusher may be a safety issue some people want to avoid.
