I bought a mandolin about a year ago and love it. I don't use it much for breakfast, but do for our personal cooking. I think I bought it for about $50. It's a really good one.
I see you can get it for $40 now
You don't really need a spiralizer if you have a mandolin. You can use one of the grater blades and just put the veggie lengthwise to achieve the same things..
Interesting that what gets sold most with that is a cut resistant glove!
But glad to know it's good for both uses.

I've only cut myself once and it was when I was washing it. You must have great respect for a mandolin!

Well I saw the description as surgical sharp so yeah, be careful! Maybe it's not the right tool for Gomez who generally looks like Les Nessman when he's done working with sharp implements.

Love my mandoline but ouchy ouchy. Sliced off the tip of my baby finger last Monday slicing cabbage. Very stupid of me. I was talking to DH while I was doing it. Would not stop bleeding until I went to bed that night and it throbbed for two days.
That being said, I love using it. Just two days prior, I sliced enough potatoes for a massive scalloped potato meal for 20 people. Took me less than ten minutes and the slices were all nice and thin. I don't cut myself often because normally I'm in the kitchen alone and not distracted. But when DH is in there with me, all my sense leaves my brains.
