Round Mandoline Slicer: Rotary Vegetable Cutter with 3 Drum Blades
Slicing a pile of potatoes or shredding carrots by hand takes time, and uneven pieces cook unevenly. A flat mandoline is faster, but one slip near that open blade is enough to make many cooks give up on it. A round mandoline slicer gives you the speed and even cuts of a mandoline while your hands stay on the crank and the pusher.
This round mandoline slicer is a hand-crank rotary vegetable slicer: you load the food into the hopper, press it down with the food pusher and turn the handle while a drum blade slices or shreds it. It comes with 3 interchangeable 430 stainless steel drums, a lock button that holds the drum in place and a silicone suction base that keeps it steady on a smooth countertop.
Why you'll love this round mandoline slicer
- Even slices and shreds in seconds: for salads, homemade chips, gratins and slaw.
- Fingers away from the blades: you push the food from above and turn the crank.
- 3 drums in one tool: slicing, fine shredding and coarse shredding.
- Stays put: the suction base holds it steady on a smooth countertop.
Round mandoline vs. flat mandoline vs. knife
| Round (drum) mandoline | Flat mandoline slicer | Chef's knife | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where your fingers are | On the crank and pusher, away from the blade | Close to an open blade | Next to the edge |
| Cuts | Slices, fine shreds, coarse shreds | Slices, julienne, waffle cuts | Any cut, with practice |
| Even results | Very consistent | Very consistent | Depends on skill |
| Speed for a batch | Fast | Fastest | Slow |
| Best for | Safe, repeated slicing and shredding | Very thin slices at high speed | Small amounts |
A round drum vegetable cutter is a popular choice for people who want even slices and shreds without the risk that comes with a traditional V-blade slicer.

How to use the rotary vegetable cutter
- Wipe the countertop clean and dry, then press the base down so the suction holds.
- Insert the drum you need and press the lock button so it stays in place.
- Cut large vegetables into pieces that fit the hopper and place them inside.
- Press the food down with the pusher while turning the crank at a steady pace. Let the drum do the work instead of forcing the food.
- Place a bowl in front of the drum to catch the slices or shreds.
Cleaning and care
The drums detach for washing under running water. Rinse them right after use so food does not dry inside the holes, and use a small brush for the shredding drums. Handle the drums by their ends and dry all parts before storing them together.
Frequently asked questions
Is a round mandoline slicer safer than a regular mandoline?
The design keeps your fingers away from the cutting surface because you push the food from above and turn a crank. As with any blade tool, always use the pusher and keep fingers out of the hopper.
Can this vegetable slicer cut potatoes and hard vegetables?
Yes, firm vegetables like potatoes, carrots and beets work well. Cut them into pieces that fit the hopper.
Can it grind nuts?
Yes. The fine shredding drum turns almonds and other nuts into a fine meal for baking.
Does the suction base work on any countertop?
Suction holds best on smooth, non-porous surfaces such as laminate, glass or polished stone. It will not grip on wood grain, tile grout or textured surfaces.
