Best Mandoline Slicers of 2026

Three thicknesses and no blade tray: that is the OXO's whole pitch, and it is why we like it for the quick jobs that make a mandoline worth owning. The large non-slip handle and stable foot give you something to hold against the counter, and the 1 mm, 2.5 mm, and 4 mm settings cover cucumbers, onions, apples, and potatoes without a dial to interpret. The built-in window is a small touch with real value: you can see how much you have sliced before you overflow the board.

It is a handheld, so you can hook it over a bowl or set it on a plate and slice straight into the vessel. That makes it the best here for small kitchens and single-vegetable jobs. The three settings are easy to read at a glance, and there is no blade caddy to dry or lose. We keep coming back to that simplicity when the prep is a single cucumber or a few potatoes for dinner.

The window is the detail we appreciate most: it turns a few more slices into something you can see. That is the kind of small convenience that keeps a tool in the rotation instead of in the back of a cabinet.

If the Fullstar's six blades feel like more parts than you want to manage, the Mueller 5-Blade is the other way to get variety: five blades, a 1–9 mm thickness dial, and a 6–9 mm julienne range in one folding frame. The legs let it stand over a bowl or flatten onto a cutting board, and the blade case keeps the extras together. We like that the thickness control is a dial rather than a stack of inserts, because you can change from a thin cucumber slice to a thicker potato round without hunting for a new blade.

The frame is large when it unfolds, and the care instructions call for hand washing, so it is not the one to toss in the dishwasher after a pile of sweet potatoes. What you get in return is a stable bed and a wider thickness range than the OXO or the Fullstar, which matters if you make scalloped potatoes, chips, or precise vegetable stacks.

We recommend it as the adjustable pick for cooks who change thickness often. The five blades give you julienne and shredding options, and the dial gives you more control than the three-setting handhelds. Against the Fullstar, it is less of a contained prep station and more of a slicer you set up and stand over; against the OXO, it is more tool and more cleanup.

The Dash Safe Slice is for the cook who wants the blade behind a chute instead of under an open hand. You load food into the chute, press the pusher, and the slicer does the work while your fingers stay on the handle. That design is the reason to consider it: it makes uniform slices feel less like a knife trick and more like a kitchen task.

The 30-plus options cover slices from 1 mm to 8 mm, plus julienne and dice, and the body folds down with a catch container and a cleaning brush. We like that the pusher gives you a clear place to press; it is more reassuring than balancing a last piece of onion on an open blade.

It is not a chef's thin-slice mandoline; the chute and pusher add bulk, and you will not get the same open-blade feel as a Benriner. But for peppers, onions, zucchini, and potatoes, the trade is a safer motion and more consistent pieces.

We think it is the best safety-first pick here. The cut quality is good enough for salads and gratins, and the folding body means it can leave the counter after use. If you have avoided mandolines because the blade looked too exposed, this is the one to try first.

Can you get julienne, matchstick, slices, and dice without changing a blade? That is the promise of the ONCE FOR ALL, and it is the reason this one stands apart from the single-blade handhelds. You choose a mode, set the 0.1–8 mm thickness dial, and push food through the chute. The blade stays hidden, so the setup is less about handling sharp inserts and more about getting the cut you want.

The body is collapsible, dishwasher-safe, and comes with a catch container and brush, which makes it easier to live with than an open-blade slicer. We appreciate that the four modes are available at once; you do not have to stop and swap a plate when a recipe moves from sliced cucumbers to julienned carrots. The safety story is the main draw: your hand stays on the pusher, not near the edge.

We recommend it for cooks who want more cut shapes than the Dash but still want a chute between their fingers and the blade. Against the Mueller, it trades blade width and a simple dial for four modes and a safer motion; against the Fullstar, it gives up the wide catch tray but keeps the parts contained.

The Benriner is a different kind of mandoline: a narrow V-slicer with a simple adjustable blade and almost no extra parts. We like it for the cuts that show off a sharp, thin blade: cucumber rounds for pickles, radish slices for a salad, cabbage shredded fine enough to soften quickly. At 3.74 inches wide and 10.2 ounces, it is small enough to keep in a drawer and light enough to hold over a bowl.

The adjustment is straightforward, and the V-shaped blade pulls food into the cut instead of forcing you to saw. It rewards a steady hand and a deliberate stroke more than a chute-style slicer does, so it is not the one we hand to a nervous beginner. If you want a guard and a catch tray, the Fullstar is the friendlier choice.

We recommend it to cooks who care most about clean, paper-thin slices and will trade width and hand-holding for that precision. It is the one here that feels closest to a knife in the best way: simple, direct, and quick to rinse. One buying note: this listing is the older version, and the manufacturer points to a newer model, so confirm which one you are ordering before you buy.

The Multibox is the tell: this is a mandoline designed to live as a set, not a single drawer tool. The Börner V3 TrendLine comes with a V-slicer, a safety guard, two 3.5 mm and 7 mm inserts, a collection tray, and a storage cradle that holds the parts together. We like that the box doubles as a drip tray and a place to keep the blades from rattling around in a drawer.

This is the premium set for cooks who make salads and gratins often and want a stable, dedicated slicer that does not flex under a sweet potato. The two inserts cover thin and thick slices, and the safety holder gives you a place to put your hand when the piece gets small. It feels more like a small appliance than a gadget, which is the point of paying for the set.

The trade is flexibility: two thickness inserts is a narrower range than the dial on the Mueller or the modes on the ONCE FOR ALL. If you want a compact handheld, this is not it; if you want a slicer that stays set up and stores neatly, the Börner is the one we point to.

At 1.5 inches tall, the PrepSolutions Adjust-A-Slice is the one that disappears into a drawer. The slicing bed is flat, the hand guard clips on, and the non-slip base gives it a little grip on a cutting board or counter. We like it for the small jobs that do not justify hauling out a full frame: a cucumber for lunch, an onion for a tart, a few apples for a galette.

The adjustable blade covers thin to thick slices, and the ceramic blade is a nice change from stainless steel in a budget tool. It is dishwasher-safe, so cleanup is simple as long as you set the blade to its safety position first. The hand guard is not optional in our view; the bed is narrow enough that fingers can get close on the last piece.

The flat design is the reason to choose it, but it is also the limit: it is best as a second slicer or a small-kitchen tool rather than the only mandoline for a household that preps a lot. It stores where a boxier slicer cannot, and that is worth real counter space over time.

We recommend it to anyone who wants a mandoline that stores flat and handles occasional slicing without a lot of setup. It is not the slicer for a big batch of potato chips or a household that wants one tool to do everything; the OXO feels more secure in the hand, and the Fullstar is the better batch tool. For a drawer, a small apartment, or a first mandoline, it earns its place.
