Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bron Original Stainless Steel Mandolin Slicer
Customer Review: The Original for a reason, It just simply works!
Summary: 5 Stars
After much research this was my first choice until actually using the de Buyer dicing mandoline form William and Sonoma. I knew I wanted a quality and versatile mandoline that would last for years to come as well as do the job with consistent results. I've used two other mandolines, the OXO mandoline and de Buyer dicing mandoline, this is the only one that will give consistent slicing thickness at 1mm or less thickness between slices as well as from one end to the other end of the slice (where most failed continually)
It's not made clear on amazon.com but this particular Bron mandoline come with the 10mm and 3mm julienne blades. 2mm blades would be nice sometimes but cutting 3mm x 1mm yields a similar cut that is nice in its own right. You can always purchase the blade set with the 2mm and (8mm / 4.5mm) blades separately. This brings me to a fantastic attribute to this mandoline. If you somehow break something you can purchase every single part separately!
The Good and great: It cuts perfectly at any thickness. The blades are super sharp. The guard a bit odd at first compared to the deBuyer but in the end superior in my opinion as the guard really transmits pushing power and isn't a hindrance at all. Blades are riveted in for strength. Its stainless steel where it counts. It doesn't need a non stick surface for the food to slide down because the polished SS is slicker than anything else. Julienne blades are fixed to the mandoline. All one piece so no cheap plastic blade holders to fall off as in the de Buyer dicing model. Separate blades fro crinkle and straight. Collapsible feet that fold neatly out of sight. It looks beautiful leaned against the wall on your countertop!
The slightly less fortunate: The rubber on the feet slide more on some countertops than other models (either hold at the cross bar on the legs or sit on large wood cutting board) The guard doesn't work for the crinkle blade (buy the Microplane Cut-Resistant Glove for $10-15). Only comes with two julienne blades.
Nothing is perfect generally but I do with the guard worked for the crinkle blade. I would have paid the extra for the additional SS required but the quality of the product out weights the few negative things.
In the end if you are looking to spend more than fifty bucks on a mandoline spend the extra and get this. You will be able to give it to your grand kids some day!
Note about Photo. The Amazon photo of this is slightly wrong. Guard is backward and the legs also fold out with the vertical support from the base of the legs to the top as pictured on many other websites.

A classic French design, this modern version is made from stainless steel.Slice cucumbers or julienne carrots with this versatile mandolin from the original mandolin manufacturer--Ambrunn Bron.
