12 Best Mandoline Slicers [Tested and Reviewed]

The Gramercy stainless steel mandoline is a standard type slicer with nine thickness levels and a durable stainless steel blade for lasting sharpness. In our testing, we found it could slice foods easily and cleanly. The body is angled, and the blade is sharper compared to other slicers, allowing for smooth slicing with minimal effort. The sharpness of the blade results in an excellent cut, earning high praise from our testers.

Its wide stand design ensures the slicer stays securely in place during use, and the safety guard guarantees the blade grips the food securely, enabling safe slicing from start to finish. With a total of nine thickness levels, the most among the products we tested, this slicer can cater to a wide variety of recipes, as you can adjust the thickness according to your preference.

However, its 15-inch width means you'll need quite a bit of storage space, which might be a drawback. This slicer can safely and smoothly create even slices, making it perfect for elevating the quality of your everyday cooking.

The OXO Good Grips Large Adjustable Slicer is a standard type slicer with seven thickness level settings and is dishwasher safe. The slicer's most notable feature is its ease of storage. With a body height of one and a half inches, it can fit in shallow drawers, which is a welcome feature for a kitchen tool that’s often difficult to store. It’s highly recommended for those worried about storage space.

The slicer features non-slip grips on both the body and handle, providing stability and ensuring safe slicing. The transparent half of the body allows you to view the sliced food while using the slicer. It received satisfactory ratings for the overall slice quality. Although there is only one type of blade for slicing, the seven thickness levels provide enough functionality for slicing alone.

The slicer's simple construction makes it easy to clean and maintain. While it may not be multifunctional, the balance between quality slicing, safety, and easy storage makes it a user-friendly product.

The Joseph Joseph Multi-Grip Mandoline is a standard type slicer that comes with three options for thickness and a safety guard that features a tong-like shape. That tong-shaped safety guard is able to hold both large and small ingredients firmly. The non-slip grips on the body and handle allows for a secure grip even with wet hands. While in use, the slicer remains stable, enhancing its safety.

The slicer received satisfactory ratings for overall slice quality, offering smooth slicing with minimal effort. It can produce uniform thick slices, but thinner slices may be uneven. The drawbacks include being limited to just three thickness settings and having no functionality beyond slicing. The slicer's simple construction earned high ratings for ease of cleaning, and its compact size makes it easy to store. Overall, it’s a very user-friendly product.

The V Pro 5-Blade Mandoline Slicer by Mueller is a standard type slicer with nine thickness settings. It uses reinforced ABS plastic for high durability. The thing we appreciated most about this slicer was the consistency of the resulting food slices. It sits at an incline and the blade is sufficiently sharp, which allowed us to easily cut all kinds of foods like onions, potatoes, and cheese. Tomatoes, on the other hand, tended to get squashed, so it isn't necessarily geared toward softer foods.

This slicer also excels in functionality. It comes with five types of blades for cutting food into slices, wave slices, coarse shredding, fine shredding, and grating. You can also adjust the slicing thickness from one up to nine millimeters in nine steps, making for compatibility with a wide range of recipes. It has a collapsible stand to prevent slipping during use, along with a safety guard that holds your food in place, so you're less likely to cut yourself while slicing.

While it does benefit from being dishwasher-friendly, food can easily get caught in the indents on the underside, which takes time to clean. At 16 and three-quarter inches across, it's relatively large and will take up quite a bit of space in your drawer or cupboard. But even so, considering the consistency and quality of slicing, as well as the wide range of slice types, it's a great choice for people who like to try out new kinds of recipes often.

Prepworks by Progressive's Adjust-A-Slice is a standard type slicer with three thickness settings, designed to efficiently slice with an angled blade. This slicer's appeal is its clean, straight and even slices. The bottom of the slicer has a non-slip surface and ridges that allow it to rest securely on a bowl, providing stability while slicing. The handle is also non-slip, allowing you to get a solid grip even with wet hands. Additionally, the safety guard firmly holds the food in place, preventing any slipping and ensuring safe slicing.

With a simple structure and a compact one-and-three-quarter-inch height, the slicer received high ratings for ease of storage. However, its drawbacks include being limited to three thickness settings and lack of functionality beyond slicing. This slicer is recommended for those seeking a simple, easy-to-store slicer.

Fullstar's 11-in-1 Mandoline Slicer is a standard type slicer that comes mounted on a tray to catch food below. The blade is made of stainless steel and claims to be as sharp as a shaving razor. The maker's claims turned out to be true, and it delivered smooth and consistent slices. Tomatoes were harder to keep in one piece, but all the other foods we tried, including onions, potatoes, and cheese, sliced cleanly without getting stuck. It also comes with many different blades; in addition to the standard slicer, wave slicer, thick julienne, and thin julienne blades, it has a ribbon slicer, spiral slicer, and an egg slicer. 

The catch tray that sits below the slicer has non-slip material which keeps the unit in place and prevents any sudden slipping. The safety guard has an indentation which keeps your food in place, and the long blade means you're not likely to hurt yourself while slicing. There isn't much texture on the slicer itself, so you can simply throw it in the dishwasher without constantly wiping off food scraps.

The downside is that you can only choose between two-millimeter and five-millimeter slices, which limits the type of recipes it can be used for. And at four by nine and 7/8 by 11 inches, storage can be an issue. Considering all the included blades, people who want to try slicing foods into a variety of shapes should keep it in mind.

The Super Slicer by Benriner is a standard type slicer with freely adjustable thickness. It features a handmade Japanese stainless steel blade and a roomy, easy-to-grip handle. With its unlimited adjustability, you can freely set the slice thickness between 0.5 and eight millimeters. There are no markings to measure thickness, so achieving the desired thickness takes some getting used to. However, the ability to slice to your preferred thickness can be considered an advantage.

The slicer comes with four blades, allowing for four types of cuts by switching out the blades. There are grooves on the end of the slicer for gripping the rim of a bowl, but the slicer's 14-inch length makes it difficult to hold in place and unstable while slicing. However, the blade is sharp, allowing for easy slicing with light pressure, and both thick and thin slices are cut evenly. This slicer is recommended for experienced cooks who want to slice their ingredients to their liking. Be aware that it is not dishwasher-safe.

The Pampered Chef Rapid-Prep Mandoline is a push type slicer with eight thickness levels. The slicer's most significant appeal is its high level of safety. There is no need to directly touch the food while slicing, so there’s a safe distance between your hand and the blade, minimizing the risk of injury. Slicing only requires gently pushing the handle, making it suitable for inexperienced cooks or children.

Because the food needs to be pushed while slicing, onions and tomatoes may turn out slightly watery. The slicer offers eight thickness adjustment levels and can make various cuts, making it highly versatile. However, the push-type design requires cutting the food to fit into the holder, an extra step compared to a standard type slicer. The slicer's complex structure and large 13-inch size make it difficult to clean by hand, and storing it can be a challenge. However, it is dishwasher-safe.

The DASH Safe Slice mandoline is a push type slicer with eight thickness options and a unique design that keeps hands away from the built-in blade. What makes this slicer attractive is how safe it is to use. Since there is no need to hold onto the food when slicing, there’s little risk of injury. And slicing only requires gently pushing the handle, making it suitable for inexperienced cooks or children. However, because ingredients need to be pushed while slicing, the slices of onions and tomatoes come out a bit watery.

The slicer is highly versatile, offering eight thickness settings and five types of cuts. But the design requires pre-cutting the ingredients to fit the opening on the pusher, a step that’s not needed with a standard type slicer. The slicer's complex construction and large 12.5-inch size make it difficult to clean and maintain, and storing it can be challenging. It is not dishwasher safe, either.

Swissmar Borner's standard type V-Slicer uses stainless steel for its blade. The maker says its super thin blade can cut even hard foods into even slices, and we had no complaints about this slicer's ability to cut food. The blade could even slice soft tomatoes without tearing or squashing them. Onions and potatoes were sliced at an even thickness and never got stuck. Only when we tried slicing cheese did some pieces get torn off, and slices didn't come out uniform. It's a bit of a hindrance if you plan on slicing cheese for a sandwich.

Since the body is rather large for a standard type slicer, at five and 5/16 inches across, you don't need to adjust it to fit the size of the food you're slicing. The safety guard holds your food in place firmly along the blade, so there's little worry of cutting yourself. The three included blades are for standard slices, thick julienne, and thin julienne. This seems like a lot on the surface, but the slicing thickness can only be set to three and a half or seven millimeters, which limits what recipes it will come in handy for.

This slicer isn't dishwasher-friendly, and on top of that, food gets stuck easily in the grooves on the bottom side. It's five and 5/16 inches across, 15 inches long, and three and 11/16 inches tall, which is large enough to make storage a hassle in some kitchens.

The 12-Blade Mandoline Slicer by Mueller is a standard type slicer that comes with a tray to catch food below. It also includes a tray specifically for catching food sliced using the spiral blade. This slicer scored points for its multi-functionality. In addition to the more common slicing, thick julienne, thin julienne, and grating blades, it also includes a ribbon slicer, spiral slicer, and small dicer. But the resulting slices weren't as consistent as some of the other products we looked at. Tomatoes often broke apart and leaked juice, while onions, potatoes, and cheese didn't stay consistent in thickness.

We didn't have any trouble with the slicer slipping around, thanks to the non-slip material on the bottom of the tray. The safety guard also did its job of keeping food secured in place, so you're unlikely to injure yourself while using it. Although it's dishwasher-safe, pieces of food often got stuck in the grooves on the bottom of the slicer, which affected its overall score. And while it's great that there are so many blade choices, the slicing thickness can't be adjusted. The unit is five and three-quarter inches tall, which will be too big to store in most kitchen drawers.

Kyocera's slicer is a standard type with three thickness settings and a durable ceramic blade made of their unique zirconia material. The slicer has a sharp blade, allowing for easy slicing with only light pressure. It can achieve uniform thick slices, but it has trouble with thinner slices. Additionally, the safety guard is too large, making it difficult to securely hold the food in place, so caution is needed.

While there are grooves near the end of the slicer designed to hold it in place over a bowl, depending on the bowl used, the groove size may be too large and not fit properly, causing it to move around while slicing. The slicer's 14-inch length can also make storage challenging. The fact that it is limited to three thickness options and only performs simple cuts sets this slicer back. However, the flat design with few ridges makes it easy to clean, which is a plus.
