I bought one. Not from their web site, because the "free" unit was like
$14 extra for shipping and handling. I got a single one somewhere else
on the web, but can't remember where. Try "shopzilla" or one of those sites.

The mini mandoline works, though I found it quite awkward until I got
the hang of it. Now it sits in a drawer so so much for wonder-tools.

I use the Swiss Star peelers and love, love, love them and this Titan
thing is very similar and it does do a great job of peeling *if* you are
used to that "wishbone" kind of peeler.

Hope I've helped.
