Mandoline recommendations?

[iswari]

I'm seriously thinking about purchasing a mandoline to cut down on some of my veggie prep time. Could anyone suggest a good model?

I do not own one, but have heard manymany receommendations for the Oxo Good Grips one, and love all of the stuff I own from that line.

hey!
i have a basic one that i purchased for about $20 in an asian market. it has several blades that can be changed out, so it can cut long shreds too (like cucumber and carrot for sushi). the blades rust though, so you have to be careful about drying it off. you also have to be careful about cutting off parts of flesh..the protector is not that significant, but it cuts really thinly. me gusta mucho. here's a link to it, it's called a benriner mandoline.
