LG HAND HELD MANDOLINE vs Restaurantware Stainless Steel Mandoline Slicer

The German Standard is the sturdier, more complete tool: stainless steel 420 body, a julienne blade, cut-resistant gloves, a cleaning brush, a blade guard and dishwasher-safe cleaning. The LG is a lighter hand-held slicer with seven thickness settings, a clear surface and non-slip notches for slicing over a bowl, but it needs hand washing and ships with only a food holder. Buy the LG for quick, small jobs over a bowl; buy the German Standard if you want julienne cuts, easier cleanup and a fuller safety kit.

• Choose the LG hand-held mandoline if you want a light, simple slicer for cucumbers, potatoes and onions over a bowl, and you don't mind hand washing it.
• Choose the German Standard slicer if you want julienne cuts, dishwasher-safe cleaning and cut-resistant gloves in the box.
