If you don’t have a need for julienne cuts, save the money and stick with the less expensive OXO for slicing.

It may be worth choosing over the OXO if you plan to julienne vegetables for salads and stir-frys. Like the OXO, this model also includes a handguard to hold food in place while slicing and is dishwasher safe. Prepworks Adjust-A-Slice Mandoline: Priced around $20, Prepworks’ mandoline ( view on Amazon) slices in three different thicknesses and also includes blade options for creating julienne cuts. If you’re simply looking for a tool that makes slicing easier and faster, you don’t need anything more than the budget-friendly OXO. While higher-end mandolines tend to be made of better-quality stainless steel and they may include blade attachments to create a variety of thicknesses and cuts, they can cost upwards of $50 to $100. Even if you pay the MSRP, it offers plenty of value and convenience for the price.

The OXO Good Grips Hand-Held Mandoline will run you about $25 full price or $15 on sale. The Spruce Eats / Sharon Lehman Price: Plenty of value for a small price And the handguard snaps onto the surface of the slicer, so it stores in one neat piece and helps keep hands away from the blade when rummaging around a drawer. The smaller size does make the mandoline easy to store in a drawer, though. The entire mandoline is actually rather small (it’s 3.8 x 0.5 x 11.5 inches) so some foods may have to be cut into halves or thirds before slicing. The only design flaw we found was with the hand guard-it just didn’t work well with larger pieces of produce since the prongs are too short to firmly grip most foods. The surface of the mandoline is clear, which we find helpful as we can keep an eye on how much we’re cutting and ensure our slices are even. We love how the mandoline fits over a bowl or plate to catch whatever you’re cutting and the “feet” and handle are non-slip so it feels secure and sturdy in our hand.
