I used this slicer for chopping up the veggies (outside of the Napa Cabbage and green onions) to make some kimchi. Wow, it is very fast compared to hand chopping the veggies like I've done for years and definitely way safer. Something that would've taken 30-40 minutes done in 10-15. Let's go!
The slicer is quite large and comes with 6 blades: 3 julienne blades and 3 regular slice sizes. The manual say that is can be used for slicing meat thin as well. I have not yet used it for that but I am very excited to try that out. It is very sturdy and doesn't wobble at all when using, plus it has a nice little catch bucket for underneath to get the cut veggies.
There is a latch lever for swapping out the various blades but a point of interest, you can put in the blade not all the way and the chopping lever will not work if it isn't completely seated. So if it doesn't work for any reason definitely check the blade again before starting again.
As for cleaning it does come with a cleaning brush, you will need it. The veggies get stuck in all kinds of places. I also noticed that the blade housings stains a bit with carrots and similar veggies. It doesn't wash out but it is not a deal breaker. The extra 5 minutes of cleaning doesn't hurt the over all speed of the chopping process.
5 stars. Would buy two if I needed two.
