OXO Hand-Held Mandoline Slicer vs Geedel Professional Mandoline Slicer

Buy the OXO if you mainly want thin, even slices and a compact tool that stores in a drawer. Buy the Geedel if you want four interchangeable blades, julienne and grating, and a container that catches what you cut. The OXO is the simpler, better-built slicer with a food holder that doubles as a blade cover; the Geedel does more jobs but is bulkier and its plastic body and lack of a written warranty are the trade-offs owners notice.

• Choose the OXO Hand Held Mandolin Slicer if you slice cucumbers, apples and potatoes at three set thicknesses and want a light tool that hooks over a bowl.
• Choose the Geedel Professional Mandoline Slicer if you want julienne, grating and shredding from one tool and a container to catch the output.
