Slicer demon
Item reviewed:
Review by Natalie B. on 22 October 2015, 14 days after purchase
This slicer demon is what I have been living for since I first ate my friend's signature mandoline-shredded coleslaw with Asian-inspired dressing and crunchy toasted noodles, nuts and seeds . But I digress...
The mandoline is chunkily robust and big enough to get through a lot of cabbage and carrots in record time, slicing the veg into paper-thin little shreds and/or matchsticks. Beautiful to behold! The gripper handle is held securely in a channel down the side of the device, so it cannot slip off while you are shredding. Some spikes in the top of the handle anchor the veg in place.
My kids made waffle-fried potatoes 2 nights running after we got this wunderkind - they also tried beetroot, carrot and sweet potato chips. Yum.
It does come with a health and safety warning though: it is extremely sharp and nearly removed a piece of my thumb while I was washing it, so take great care! Lock it after every use. And if you can, wear one of those cut-resistant gloves.
The mandoline is worth every cent. I had a cheaper mandoline slicer before, but now there is no looking back. Thank you! Read more

Fun to use & very effective
Item reviewed:
Review by Lara D. on 3 December 2015, 7 days after purchase
Having read the previous review, I was a little cautious about the safety side of mandolines, so I chose this one after looking carefully at all the safety specs of this one and its competitors.
I love this machine! It does exactly what it says on the box. Paper thin ribbons of courgette and cucumber, perfect tiny carrot matchsticks, funny waffle cut chips ... all very quick and easy. Looking forward to the festive season and lots of tasty salad combinations now!
The mandoline is very sturdy. No slipping, complete control while slicing, and easy to clean afterwards. Read more

Safest one ever
Item reviewed:
Review by Carol S. on 24 May 2016, 13 days after purchase
We had an older slicer, which at every opportunity would try and make one finger less.
It also had separate blades you needed to change for different cuts.
Horrible to store away.
The PL8 is so safe, the adjustable blade locks away, as well as everything else.
Easy to store, easy to use. Excellent product

PL8 Professional Mandoline
Item reviewed:
Review by James C. on 21 August 2017, 1 month after purchase
Held off purchasing a mandoline as virtually all of them are "fiddly" to work with and have multiple attachments and are often plastic. The PL8 was exactly what I was longing for and I was not disappointed - all attachments are built in, they can be changed with a simple selection button and it folds away for storage. Naturally, it is made of steel and not plastic so it will have a long, if not unending life. Read more

Blades bent on first use
Item reviewed:
Review by Lisa S. on 3 December 2019, over 1 year after purchase
I purchased this product which is not cheap, and based on the reviews thought I would spend the money for a good quality, supposedly professional mandolin. On my first use, I decided to make sweet potato chips and the blades bent. I could not believe the poor quality of the blades. Due to the bent blades, I can now not use this product properly. Poor quality!

I'm loving it
Item reviewed:
Review by Maresa V. on 11 January 2019, 15 days after purchase
We bought one for my sister as she regularly manages to cut herself with a knife. I was so impressed and ordered one for myself. It is really safe to operate - the lock mechanism is just slightly finiky - the handle must be in 'usage' mode else it won't lock. Works like a dream. You can still cut yourself if you are not careful so don't let children operate this. Heed the cleaning instructions. Read more

It worked okay in the beginning but was fiddly to use, but then the plastic body cracked and knobs to change settings broke off.

Review by Spencer O. on 27 June 2022, 6 days after purchase
I was excited to use this machine, specifically purchased to julienne vegetables for stir-fries.
It cannot julienne carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkin or any hardish vegetables. It can slice potatoes into chips if you have it on the larger setting and work out at the gym.
The plastic ring only takes medium-sized vegetables. onions are ok and work perfectly with marrows... tomatoes end up everywhere...
This unit was returned to Yuppiechef after three attempts to use it. Read more

Excellent mandoline

This is an excellent mandoline - and well worth the price. It's easy to use and the blade is sharp so be sure to use the safely feature!
Have been making veggies crisps endlessly - butternut, beetroot & sweet potato - delicious.

Sweet slicer
Item reviewed:
Review by Peter O. on 18 April 2016, 20 days after purchase
This is not exactly a "must have" in the kitchen, but it does help when you are in a hurry to julienne some carrots for a ramen, or slice some potatoes for gratin dauphinois. It also makes these really neat crinkle cut potato slices (the first thing I tried after ripping it out of the box).
It is expensive, I know, but compared to cheap ones I've tried before this is worth the price. The slicing blade is really razor sharp, the julienne blades are not so much - makes julienne slightly challenging, especially with carrots. That said, the main blade is so sharp that it hardly bothers me. Read more

Finally got to use my Pro PL8 Mandoline. Wow! met all my expectations in sharpness, ease of use and safety. If you cut yourself on this, you are an idiot!
It cuts the potatoes for the potato bake in minutes to perfection. Love it and would recommend it.

Review by Margie W. on 22 October 2016, 15 days after purchase
I was surprised at the size of this mandoline. Larger than I expected. It's super easy to use and I particularly like the fact that I don't have to change the blades. Works like a dream and if one is banting as it makes extremely thin slices of any veg which you can then turn into crisps.
I would recommend this product to a friend.
Simply the Best

One complete unit, no changing blades, just a turn of the handle. So safe and easy to use, from slices to julienne in seconds. Easy to clean. A solid and reliable product.

Review by Anonymous on 9 July 2018, 1 month after purchase
Purchased 2 of these. Gifted 1 to my sister. This product is great. Slices from very thin to thick. Love the thin slices. Attempted making waffle chips. Turned out beautifully after frying them. My guest was impressed and enquired about the slicer – now she’s going to purchase one as well. Tried doing julienne slices with carrots. There is a bit of wastage towards the end as the guard doesn’t allow all the carrots to be sliced. So will probably purchase those gloves used for slicing with a mandoline. A bit bulky but fits perfectly in my kitchen drawer. Happy with my purchase – of course, my sister loves it too. Read more

I love using my mandoline! It's easy to use, and easy to clean. Slicing potatoes is quick and easy, and fingers are safe. My son also loves slicing his apples with it, so we get to spend time together in the kitchen, as an added bonus!

Totally worth it

This product is awesome. It does exactly what it is meant to do. I bought another mandoline before this one which was a similar price and was very disappointed. I then researched for a bit and found the PL8 professional. No regrets on this purchase.

Great product once you get the hang of how to use it correctly
Item reviewed:
Review by Michal L. on 4 February 2019, 1 month after purchase
Once you get the hang of it, this is excellent. I use it against the wall, on the counter, securing the handle in my left hand and using my right hand to slice (I am right handed), and slide away from my body. This works well (tried various ways that made a lot of mess).
I would recommend this product to a friend.
Works perfectly!

Review by Louise S. on 2 May 2019
Having previously only used the plastic type with lots of loose blades (not ideal) that usually ended up being relegated to the white elephant drawer never to be used again...that it's not made of plastic and that the blades are fixed was the deciding factor to place an order.
Having used it a couple of times now I can highly recommend this mandoline for home use ..it is easy to use & clean, does not move around during use and blade cutting positions are all easily controlled with the dials. This one will definitely not be relegated to the white elephant drawer! :-) Read more

Slicing up a storm

Review by Luan S. on 7 July 2019, 14 days after purchase
Owning a top quality mandoline has been on my cookery wishlist for ages and I am thrilled with my purchase of the Progressive! It’s a good value for money choice and has all of the options I was looking for... easy to use, slices, juliennes and waffles with a quick turn of the dial and is sturdy and easy to clean.
I would recommend this product to a friend.

Practice makes perfect?
Item reviewed:
Review by Val L. on 18 March 2020, 2 months after purchase
The videos and pictures make it look so easy, but it definitely requires practice and patience, not to mention overcoming the intimidation of warning messages and stickers about all the ways you could hurt yourself. My first time using it - slicing some cabbage, fennel and apple for a salad - was quite a long-winded ordeal. The second time - attempting to get paper-thin pineapple slices - was more successful. Since then, I have grown more confident and comfortable with it. I have found that a previous reviewer's suggestion of positioning the mandoline perpendicular to your body and slicing away from you works best. I put a side plate underneath the blades to catch the cuttings, and I use the hand guard infrequently, instead favouring cut-resistant gloves for more control. For hard vegetables, thinner slicing seems to work best.
What attracted me to the machine (besides the good review ratings) is that the setup is "all in one", no loose blades to store and change, but this makes washing up a hassle since the underside has nooks and crannies where food gets lodged and which are difficult to dry. I towel-dry the blades and then leave the machine on the kitchen counter to air-dry. Everything can go in the dishwasher (if you have one).
It's handy and has its specialised uses in my kitchen, but it is not a replacement for my knives and chopping boards. The waffle-cut vegetables it produces are really cool. Read more

This product is defective!

Review by MA RHEA W. on 4 April 2020, over 6 months months after purchase
This is the first time that I'm going to write a review for a product that I bought in your shop. The Julienne switch doesn't fully go to the right switch and the Julienne blades don't come out because it doesn't lining to the right hole. Complete waste of money!

Review by Talitha T. on 16 June 2020, 1 month after purchase
I will tell you now. I am terrified of mandolines. I have cut my fingers to ribbons on dull and badly designed mandolines.
And then I found the PL8! Oh my word! It's a dream to use! It stands fast because of its rubbered feet. The blades are easy to set to various thicknesses and they are sharp as!
But what makes this mandoline worth every single penny is the guard. The best feature is that the veggie you're slicing goes inside a very spacious hole at the top of an enclosed guard.
The prongs are good and long to hold the veggie in place and you do not ever come close to touching a blade while using it. The guard glides like on butter and is easy to remove and put back on.
And did I mention it's big?! I have had so much trouble slicing onions, because they are normally too big for the guard. Not this one! They actually thought about the size of the veggies you're slicing when they designed it.
I am no longer scared I will lose a thumb while slicing an onion. It is brilliant! I highly recommend this product! Read more

Mandoline

Review by Grace S. on 28 June 2020, 1 month after purchase
This is my first mandoline and I’m hooked. The safety features on this product are great. All blades can be locked away and even when cleaning there is little danger of cutting yourself. It folds away so flat, that I keep it in a draw. A great buy and a great product.
I would recommend this product to a friend.
Great product!

Review by Ally C. on 29 June 2020, 1 month after purchase
I love this mandoline! It’s really versatile and super easy to clean. Naturally there is a little bit of food wastage (pieces at the end that are not large enough to be sliced) and some vegetables are quite difficult to do (e.g long carrots), but all in all, the BEST mandoline I have ever used.
I would recommend this product to a friend.

For home and semi production kitchens brilliant sharpness, and no rust. Purchased my Mandolin in November of 2018 and it is still slicing up a storm for dehydrator foods and also other food projects. A must have and wonderful gift!

Overall I'm happy with this mandoline. I've cut a variety of veggies and only struggled to julienne carrots. The white plastic parts tend to stain a little. On the upside, the blades are very sharp and the hand guard works excellently with potatoes.

This mandoline is definitely of professional quality. So easy to use and to make beautiful julienne, slices and waffled slices. Cleaning is also not difficult, but you have to make sure the knife is protected as it is extremely sharp! It is nice that there are no loose accessories.

Review by Thea B. on 31 January 2022, over 6 months months after purchase
I bought this product last year, and for the first time used it today. We have a function at church tomorrow and I had to cut up 2kg of tomatoes, about 2kg onions, gherkins, pineapples, etc. What an absolute Godsend! If I had done the cutting by hand, I don't know how long it would have taken me, and it was done in a whizz!! No tears from slicing the onions either. Beautifully cut tomatoes, thinly sliced onions and pineapple, paper thin gherkin slices. Oh my goodness, why did I take so long to buy this mandoline?? Perhaps my very best purchase of 2021!!! Thank you!! Read more

Awesome product - the blades are really sharp.
It can slice tomatoes effortlessly, the julienne feature actually works. Love the safety feature of the food being inside the handle - my kids can use it too.
No loose parts is an added bonus.
