Benriner Mandoline Slicer
Benriner Mandoline Slicer

Best mandoline overall

*Est. $50 for Super size
Estimated Price

A favorite of professional chefs and consumers alike, the Benriner mandoline turns out even slices, fine julienne cuts and thick batons of all kinds of vegetables and fruits. It comes in three sizes; the Standard and Super sizes are easiest to find (most reviewers prefer the Super size, which has a 3.5-inch blade). The Benriner mandolines can't dice or create crinkle or waffle cuts, however, and it doesn't have a stand, so it must be set over a bowl or cutting board. Owners say it's easy to use and clean, although some reviewers do note that the Benriner's finger guard is rather insubstantial, a potential safety hazard if you're careless.

Kyocera Adjustable Mandoline Slicer

Budget mandoline slicer

*Est. $25
Estimated Price

The handheld Kyocera slicer can only slice -- it can't make julienne, waffle or crinkle cuts -- but reviews say it's an excellent value. It has the same size cutting surface as the Benriner Super, and, like the Benriner, the Kyocera lacks a stand, but it adjusts easily to produce perfectly even slices in four different widths. The rust-free ceramic blade holds its edge longer than metal blades. If you don't want to julienne, the Kyocera slicer is the way to go, but if you do want that option, the Benriner Super is better.

De Buyer La Mandoline V Professionnelle
De Buyer La Mandoline V Professionnelle

Professional mandoline slicer

*Est. $180
Estimated Price

If you want to make crinkle and waffle cuts in addition to slicing and julienne, this versatility sets the stainless-steel De Buyer La Mandoline V Professionnelle apart from the pack. Reviewers say well built, safe and easy to use, and the food pusher/hand guard is well designed. Unlike cheaper mandolines, the De Buyer La Mandoline V Professionnelle also has a stand, making it easier to use. The De Buyer La Mandoline V Professionnelle turns out paper-thin slices, julienne, crinkle and waffle cuts with minimal effort. Not only is this model dishwasher-safe, it comes with an unusual extra: an instructional DVD. This mandoline does, however, cost four times as much as the Benriner, and it weighs 9 pounds.
