FACKELMANN 4-setting stainless mandoline review

A four-setting mandoline with a stainless blade and a sliding selector, at the entry price — and, like every mandoline, an object to buy a glove with.

What we would actually buy The guard is the specification on a mandoline, and this listing does not mention one. Buy the glove with it.

What you are getting

A mandoline with four cutting thicknesses selected by a sliding control, a stainless front blade and a MIPS plastic body.

What the listing does not mention

A hand guard. On a mandoline that is the specification, not a feature: the blade is fixed and invisible under the food, and the guard is what keeps a hand above it. Check the product images before ordering.

The last slice

No guard holds the final centimeter. That is where mandolines cut people, and it is why a cut-resistant glove should be part of the purchase rather than an afterthought.

The settings

Four, by slide. Enough for potatoes, cucumber and onion, which is what a domestic mandoline is used for.

Availability

On sale at around $31 on the American Amazon store at the time of checking.

The questions that come in

Do I really need a cut-resistant glove?

A mandoline is the tool that causes the injuries knives get blamed for: the blade is fixed and hidden under the food, and the last slice cannot be held by any guard. A glove costs a few dollars.

Is four settings enough?

For slicing potatoes, cucumber and onion, yes. Continuous adjustment is nicer and is not what makes a mandoline safe or useful.

Our score

6.9/ 10
