OXO Adjustable Hand-Held Mandoline vs Machify 5-in-1 Handheld Mandoline Slicer

The OXO is the better-built slicer for anyone who slices vegetables regularly. Its stainless blade, food holder and non-slip notches are the features owners praise, and the adjustable thickness settings give consistent, even cuts. The Machify is a compact, versatile tool with five blades for shredding, grating and waffle cuts, but it is plastic-heavy and its thin blades and short warranty suggest it suits light, occasional use. Buy the OXO for daily prep; buy the Machify if you want grating and shredding in one small tool.

• Choose the OXO Adjustable Hand Held Mandoline if you slice vegetables often and want a sturdy stainless blade, a food holder and repeatable thickness settings.
• Choose the Machify Multi-Function Vegetable Cutter if you want one compact tool that also shreds, grates ginger and makes waffle cuts.
