How exciting

[Jamberie]

Hope the house sells super quick.

 

OMG so do I! But you'll know when it does because I'll be shouting it from the rooftops!

[mcmich]

Glad you found a new home and hope your current home sells fast for you.

and the other one you wanted CC from JulieO

Andi, I'm looking into the De Buyer Professional mandolin at the moment.  Have read so many good reviews.  The pusher looks a lot more 'safe' than the Borner V-slicer I use at the moment, though I think buying a mesh glove might be a good idea too.  
The optional long pusher looks like a good idea for carrot sticks etc.  

GF, it's all in the googling method    CC is usually pretty good at it herself.

I use the long pusher for cucumbers, for large zucchini and especially for eggplant because I make long thin slices to roll around various stuffings.   I don't think I have ever sliced carrots using it. 

I used a Bron professional for forty-some years but was having shoulder problems and the way the Bron is situated, I had to use too much shoulder movement.  I love the de Buyer - and it can be used by lefties easily too because it tilts on either side. 
I recently made a large batch of onion confit or caramelized onions and sliced 8 pounds of onions with no problems.

I also use it for slicing the ginger I use when I make large batches of the crystallized/candied ginger but don't need the long pusher for that.

Thank you Andie. I'll go and look again on Amazon
