How does it compare with a stand mandolin?

It gives you a fixed set of blade shapes instead of an adjustable thickness dial, and it catches food in its own container. A stand mandolin usually offers more slice thicknesses but needs a bowl or board underneath.

Can I adjust how thick the slices are?

No. Thickness comes from which blade you fit, so you get the wave, straight, julienne, fine, medium and coarse results the blades are made for.

What can I grate with it?

The coarse, medium and fine blades handle cheese and vegetables, and the coarse julienne blade makes sticks. Soft cheese can clog the fine grater, so firmer cheese works better.

Is the container included?

Yes. The box has the slicer, the 3.6-cup storage container with its lid, all six blades and a cleaning brush.

Is it dishwasher safe?

The blades are stainless steel and the container is plastic. Hand washing the blades with the included brush is the safer way to keep the edges sharp.

Does it need batteries or power?

No. It is fully hand operated, so it works anywhere without an outlet.
