Does anyone have a julienne cutter/slicer? I so want one and I

O, I have this el-cheapo madoline cutter and it will do three different sizes of julienne
as well as slice super thin or thick slice. I took back the $150 stainless-steel French beauty because it scared the bejeesus out of me. God and my parents gave me 10 fingers and I wanted to keep all of them intact.
For some reason, this plastic version was less intimidating. I've used it for over 10 years and never had a problem.
Basic method: standard blade stays in all the time, adjusted up or down for desired thickness. If you want matchsticks or julienne veggies, you add a second blade across. Thickness of end result is defined by the openings in the three blades (mouse over the image and you can see the detail of the extra blades).
I used it all the time for carrot coins, zucchini ribbons, cabbage shredding, potato chips, etc.

I have the serious French version that took old H's fingertip off. Not for offhanded use.
no pun intended there.
This peeler looks more like a strip maker than a julienner, doesn't it? If you want the strips very fine, this looks easy.;
I'm in favour of simpler less-threatening versions as long as they work. I use mine and my little Zyliss, mostly for slicing, frequently. But the little Zyliss does not julienne.

Zyliss makes another version now with a julienne.

I have the fancy pants French version and I love the thing. I've been
using it for about 20 years and I'm not at all intimidated by it. It just take time to become comfortable using it. I use it all the time for everything except the julienne cut. I just have never been able to use it on hard veggies like carrots. Soft veggies no problem like zucchini. I thought maybe this peeler type would work better for me. Thanks Marilyn

sorry for that messy reply. I have all my fingers still and love my Zyliss.
That's great to know. Do you think this is the same as yours?

I want to make little match stick pieces and carrots are hard to
push thru. Does it slide easily on the one you have? I love my mandolin and I'd rather have one that I can just store in the drawer so that is why I'm looking for a hand held since it's the only thing I'd use it for.

Is that ..... as opposed to the fingertip version?
My little Zyliss mandoline does not have a julienner. I wonder if a little gadget like this would work if you don't like the way the mandoline works. As Janet says, you have to approach it without any trepidation. It's all about the sharpness of the blade and those tough vegetables need some coaxing. Does this little gadget actually do that?

My mandolin is a Matfer and made in France. The blade is extremely sharp
as it should be and the main blade is wonderful to work with. The 3 attachments are 3 cm, 5 cm and 10 cm. and I'm sure they are equally as sharp. But I have never been able to use them. Even the larger one which would be good for fries but it just takes longer. I use the main blade to cut the planks and then cut them into sticks with a knife. I know some on blogs have used the hand held and it seemed like they worked well.
