A mandoline slicer cuts vegetables and fruit into even slices much faster than a knife, with a dial or a set of settings to choose the thickness. Models split into handheld slicers that rest on a bowl, stand slicers with a long runway, and multi-blade choppers. Blade guards and holders matter, because the blade is exposed.
The six slicers below cover all three styles. Thickness ranges, blades and sizes come from each product’s listing page. We have not used these slicers ourselves. Warranty and material statements are the makers’ own, and where a listing contradicts itself we say so.

What to Look For
| Feature | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Style | Handheld slicers store small; stand slicers give a longer, steadier run |
| Thickness range | Fixed steps are simple; a dial gives finer control |
| Extra blades | Julienne, crinkle, waffle or toothed blades add range |
| Food holder or guard | Keeps your hand away from the blade |
| Cleaning | Dishwasher or hand wash only; listings sometimes differ |

Care and Setup
- Check the listing for dishwasher guidance before washing; one listing here contradicts itself.
- Use the food holder or guard each time, as the makers describe.
- Rinse right after use so food does not dry on the blade.
- Store the slicer where the blade will not rub against other tools.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Skipping the guard or holder because the pieces are small.
- Buying a fixed-step slicer when you need fine control.
- Assuming all parts are dishwasher safe.
- Choosing a large stand slicer without checking storage space.
Mandoline Slicer FAQ
Handheld or stand?
Handheld slicers store small and rest on a bowl or board. Stand slicers are longer and steadier, with more cut types.
Which ones make julienne?
The Fullstar has a built-in julienne blade. The Benriner, the OXO Steel Chef’s 2.0 and the Mueller list julienne or similar cuts with their blades.
The Short Version
For a simple handheld, the OXO handheld. For interchangeable blades, the Benriner. For a metal frame with accessories, the Gramercy. For julienne in a small tool, the Fullstar. For the widest range of cuts, the OXO Steel Chef’s 2.0. For one tool with many blades, the Mueller.
