After burning through three cheap mandolines in a year, I finally bought a $150 Benriner and the difference in speed and clean cuts is like night and day.

Has anyone else made the switch to a pro-grade slicer and found it actually saved you money long term?

Totally get that. Went through two of those flimsy plastic ones that cracked on a potato. The good Japanese one felt like a splurge, but it hasn't even thought about getting dull. It makes prepping a bushel of veggies for pickling actually doable now, so yeah, it probably paid for itself by now just in not buying replacements.

Remember my old one? It gave up trying to peel a carrot.
