Pinzon Stainless-Steel Mandoline [Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging] Review

I bought this as a gold box item, thankfully, because otherwise I would have returned it.All I use it for is to slice onions thinly.I've used the straight blade less than 10 times and it is already dull.I read the reviews for the previous Pinzon mandoline which were universally terrible but I also read that Amazon had taken that model off the market and replaced it with this one which was supposed to be much better but my complaint is the same as the other model.Also the slices get stuck in the machine.I had better luck with my plastic V-slicer.I gave the mandoline 2 stars because it does have a lot of attachments and is easy to use but it is difficult to clean and doesn't serve its main purpose, to slice!

Update 2/29/08: I now absolutely hate this product.The straight blade has completely dulled.The food slices get caught under the mandoline by the blades that are turned to dice the food rather than slip out to the bowl or plate underneath.Make sure you use the food holder to slice because the blade is so dull, the food slips and you will get cut.This mandoline is going in the trash.I won't even donate it because I'm afraid someone will get hurt.
