OXO SteeL Chef’s Mandoline 2.0 Review
The OXO SteeL Chef’s Mandoline 2.0 is a sturdy stand mandoline with a wide thickness range, built-in blades and a stable folding design. It suits cooks who slice in volume and want stability and range, at a premium handheld-to-stand price.
Overview
The OXO SteeL Chef’s Mandoline 2.0 is a full stand mandoline with legs for stability, a wide range of thickness settings and built-in straight, julienne and other cuts. It folds for storage and includes a food holder, positioning it as a premium home stand mandoline.
What stands out
Stability and range are the strengths: the legs keep it firm for confident slicing, and the dial covers everything from thin chips to thick fries with built-in julienne options. The build is solid stainless and it folds flatter than most stands. It suits higher-volume slicing well.
Where it falls short
It is more expensive and bulkier than a handheld, the folding stand still takes drawer space, and, like all mandolines, the blade demands care despite the food holder.
Who it is for
Cooks who slice often or in volume and want a stable, versatile stand mandoline. For occasional slicing or tight storage, an OXO handheld or a Benriner is more practical.

Does the OXO Chef’s Mandoline fold for storage?
Yes, it folds flatter than most stand mandolines, though it still takes more space than a slim handheld. Store it with the blade covered for safety.
