I have a similar mandolin and it works perfectly. It saves me time and helps me cut up my vegetables with ease. I have to admit that I'm a bit nervous using it especially when my children are around. It cleans easily and the blades don't rust. I make sure to store it on the top shelf of my cabinet so that it is out of reach of my children. I don't use it too often but it works great when I need it.

I like this mandolin a lot. I bought it on sale when I got tired of hand slicing foods for dehydrating, and I wish I'd bought it ages ago, it makes it so easy to slice & grate fruits & vegies. It comes with 5 easily interchangeable blades, & I can adjust the thickness of the slices from 1-9mm. It also has 2 julienne blades, which work well for carrot matchsticks. It came with an attachment for juicing citrus fruits but I haven't tried that yet. It's easy to clean, though the white plastic does stain slightly from beets/carrots. The food gripper works on larger foods like apples/potatoes, but it is useless for anything smaller like carrots. That's the only negative thing I can say.
