Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Wrote a more detailed and thorough review but I got "lost" so here’s the short and sweet of it. 1. Uneven/not uniform cuts. vegetables will all be slant Cuts Bc shoot is slanted and blade comes down at 90. Uneven cuts because the pieces don’t come out of the top and sometimes come back down Into the chamber to be rechopped in a weird cut. The solution is to reach in and take out each piece that falls down each chop but that’s time-consuming and this defeats the purpose of not having your hand near a blade. If you let plunger fully recoil to get them to come up, Veggies fly everywhere. 2. Hard to clean, time consuming and frustrating. This was not easy to clean even with the included toothbrush and a strong faucet power wash As there are many grooves, slits and slants. Carrots stained device. 3. Limited use. You cannot use us to do lengthwise cuts of zucchini or eggplant as you are limited to the size of the blade and plunger so you only get circles or short fries. 4. Unlabeled tabs. It takes a lot of time to figure out What mode device is in, Julianne vs stick vs slice The little tab that you’re supposed to turn counterclockwise and clockwise don’t have any labels so you don’t know unless you pick up the entire device and to see if the blades engaged or bend down and look up. I figured it out but it's certainly not convenient to not have a label. I attached pictures where I did an experiment. Comparing the Dash safe cut, my old dull sharper image mandolin and hand cut. Overall hand cutting took more attention but are ok not entirely even, mandolin has uniform cuts but bc it's old and needs replacing required force, dash has random cuts on slants.. My overall conclusion is to just buy a newer better sharper standard mandolin that is multifunctional and use a cutting gloves or just suck it up and get out a knife. I wanted to do a thorough review because all the reviews are five stars and this may be the only product that I had to return same day. I gave two stars because of the sharpness of the blade and the safety function. if you have kid Cooks in the kitchen this is safe and if you have limited hand Function or strength ,as long as you don't care about cuts, this will work for you. I hope this helps! FYI uneven cuts aren’t just about aesthetics, it allows for even cooking
