Slice vegetables, fruits, and cheese with ease using the OXO Good Grips Handheld Mandoline Slicer. Its adjustable thickness settings and non-slip grip mean you can prep ingredients quickly and comfortably, whether slicing onto a plate, board, or bowl. Note: some users find the blade less sharp than expected, so heavy-duty users may want to assess if it fits their needs.
Reality Check
The OXO Good Grips Handheld Mandoline Slicer is a compact kitchen tool designed to help you quickly and uniformly slice vegetables, fruits, and even cheese. Adjustable to three different thickness levels, it lets you select how fine or thick you want your slices, making it useful for everyday tasks like prepping salads or topping casseroles. Its handheld design means you can slice directly onto a plate, board, or bowl, and a non-slip handle and foot give you good control while you work.
In practice, the slicer performs reliably for most common veggies, especially cucumbers and onions, and stands out for being easy to clean and store. However, the single biggest complaint noted by users is the inconsistent blade sharpness – some find it razor sharp, while others struggle with a blade that feels dull out of the box. This matters because a dull blade can slow you down or require extra effort, limiting the tool’s convenience, especially if you prep tougher vegetables. If you plan to rely on this for daily or bulk slicing, keep in mind that you may have to sharpen the blade or accept occasional uneven results.
Best For: Home cooks seeking a simple, mess-free slicer for routine vegetable and fruit prep
Not Recommended For: Those needing precision, wide-width slicing or demanding sharp blades for heavy-duty use
