Score: 76/100
Fullstar Mandoline Slicer
Score: 78/100Rankings
The Fullstar 6-in-1 Mandoline Slicer provides six stainless-steel blades and comprehensive safety accessories for precise slicing and julienning. Its limited thickness settings and the need for careful handling of very sharp blades may deter some users. Best suited for home cooks who prioritize sharp performance in a compact footprint.
Hamilton Beach's 70730 model provides a 10-cup capacity, 450-W motor, and interchangeable S-blade and slicing/shredding disc for comprehensive food prep. Its larger footprint can be cumbersome on limited countertops. Suited for families needing versatile processing of larger quantities.

Products in the top-left offer the best value (high score, low price).
Professional sources are limited; product pages and retailer descriptions highlight the powerful motor, multi‑functionality and easy cleanup, but note the lack of independent third‑party reviews.
Everyday users appreciate the motor power, dishwasher-safe parts and compact size of the 3-cup version, but commonly mention the absence of slicing/shredding capability in smaller models and the bulkiness of the larger 8-cup unit.
Professional reviewers commend the Fullstar mandoline for its versatile 6-in-1 blade set, solid food-grade construction, and thoughtful accessories like the organizer tray and safety glove. However, they warn that the blades' high sharpness demands careful use, especially with thicker cuts, and note that the limited thickness adjustments may restrict more advanced slicing tasks.
Consumers overwhelmingly value the slicer's sharp, efficient blades and the space-saving, all-in-one design, often highlighting the safety glove and guard as essential for family use. Recurring concerns focus on the risk of cuts if safety features are ignored, occasional difficulty swapping blades, and a wish for more slicing thickness options.
