User-Friendly and Feature Rich, but an Uneven Performer
Summary
Like OXO’s more expensive straight-bladed mandoline, the V-blade model is enticing at first glance. This version features a user-friendly control knob and boasts the ability to slice, julienne, as well as create decorative crinkle cuts. Unfortunately, we found that the blade was not as effective in creating smooth, clean cuts as competing models and that more force was required to feed ingredients. The OXO’s clever on-board part storage helps organize the potentially dangerous blades, but we found that it made clean up more time consuming.
