OXO Good Grips Handheld Mandoline Review
The OXO Good Grips handheld mandoline is an easy, safe everyday slicer with adjustable thickness, a sharp blade and a non-slip grip. It slices neatly over a bowl and stores in a drawer, making it a great pick for home cooks.
Overview
The OXO Good Grips handheld mandoline is a compact slicer you hold over a bowl, with adjustable thickness settings and a food holder. It is designed around OXO’s usual focus on comfort and everyday ease.
What stands out
It is easy and reassuring to use: a non-slip grip, clear thickness settings and an included food holder make quick, even slices without fuss. It is compact, cheap, and stores in a drawer, which suits small kitchens and occasional slicing.
Where it falls short
Being handheld, it is less stable than a stand mandoline, the blade is not as razor-sharp as a Benriner, and thickness range is more limited. Big-volume slicing is slower.
Who it is for
Home cooks who want a safe, easy, compact mandoline for everyday slicing over a bowl. For maximum sharpness or volume, a Benriner or a stand mandoline is a better fit.
