PrepSolutions Adjustable Mandoline Slicer vs OXO Hand-Held Mandoline Slicer

Buy the PrepSolutions if you slice big produce like cabbage, eggplant or squash and want one wide, angled blade with a thumb dial for any thickness. Buy the OXO if you mostly cut cucumbers, apples and potatoes into even rounds and want a compact, stable slicer with three fixed settings. The PrepSolutions has the wider surface and stepless adjustment; the OXO has the better safety story, with a food holder that doubles as a blade cover and a foot that hooks over a bowl. Both are BPA-free, dishwasher safe and rated well by owners; the OXO's 4.4-plus reputation for build and safety edges it for everyday small jobs.

• Choose the PrepSolutions if you want an extra-wide surface, a single angled stainless blade and free-form thickness control for larger produce.
• Choose the OXO if you want a compact handheld slicer with three set thicknesses, a non-slip foot and a holder that covers the blade.
