Default OK, what about mandolines?

NOTE: followups set to "rec.food.equipment" (I didn't forget this
time!)

Well, so much for that "improved" veggie peeler with its nifty little
mandoline attachment (as seen on TV!) Thanks again for all the
comments, folks. I decided this 'product' was not for my kitchen.

Earlier today when I perused through the aisles Tuesday Morning (!!!that
is one dangerous store!!!! <G>), I noticed a Cuisinart mandoline for
US$38, intead of nearly $80. Is this a good price for the 'brand' or
not? I noticed the photo on the package showed what looked like
all-metal construction, but I didn't look too closely. Or perhaps the
'behringer' (sp?) sort Blake and others mentioned might be a better
purchase for the money? I have no clue since I've never used any
mandoline before.

Instead of making an 'impulse' buy at that very moment, I figured I'd
come back home and ask here first What say y'all??

Sky . . . . .
. . . . . who's rather tired of hand-slicing/chopping 4 and 5 large
onions at a time!!!

P.S. I've always been very happy with the many Cuisinart products I
have.
