What is the difference between this and the Swissmar Borner V-1001 V-Slicer Plus?

I don't have the plus, but I think that this is a newer model with some additional 'ease of use' functions like the push button adjustable blade. I would think that they both slice the same, but I don't know how many people would own both to know.

"This" has a side button to adjust thickness, and, plastic comes flush with the V blade so no sharp V edges while not in use or in storage. (This safety feature was my why I chose the 7000.)

Much easier and SAFER to change thickness on slices and dices. It is just a much better unit. I have both; the New one with the locking slice adjustment and the V-1001. The new one we use almost daily at home the v-1001 we took to our cabin and it is perfect as we don't do as much fancy cooking up there.

Hi. I'm from Victorinox Swiss Army. The blades are EXACTLY the same. The three differences are 1.) the packaging an 2.) the handle and 3.) The 40520 is NSF approved. The knife usually arrives in a red and white cardboard box. The handle is more tapered than the 40520 and is designed to be more ergonomic. It has a slightly different texture applied to the handle as well, but both are gritty and slip-resistant. The 40520 was designed for commercial kitchens and is NSF approved for food safety in commercial ktichens. The 6.8063.20 was designed for the home chef who does not need that certification on the knife. Please let me know if you have any other questions.Thanks,Tracey Hi. I'm from Victorinox Swiss Army.

I preferred the slicer that wasn't adjustable as this one tends to move thickness whilst in use as there is no locking mechanism. The non adjustable is the same brand, make sure you get the thin slicer and yes it will do your job I use mine all the time I love it!

Well, I also own the Swissmar Borner V-1001 V-Slicer Plus mandoline. That particular model of Swissmar does not do the paper thin slices. It does several thicknesses and has different blades for crinkle cut and so forth, but not paper thin. The nice thing about the Swissmar is that it comes with a stand so you can keep it handily on your countertop at all times. After use, I just wash it quickly and place it right in the stand, where it dries well. As far as the quality of the mandolins, I'd say they are both about equal, so if either of the features above appeal to you, go for that one.

Liang - The Superbox Bamix comes with the following items: Multi-purpose blade, whisk, beater, meat/vegetable mincer, processor, jug and table stand. The Swissline doesn't have the meat/vegetable mincer. The Deluxe doesn't have the meat/veg mincer, the processor or the jug. The Professional doesn't have the processor, the jug or the table stand but comes with the wall bracket. The Mono doesn't have the meat/veg mincer, the processor, the jug or the table stand but comes with a multi-beaker and a wall bracket.

I don't know if there is any difference. However, the serrated blade is essential,so make sure your choice has this. I use mine all the time. It is my favorite garden implement.

Use Cooks Illustrated equipment test reviews as a guide on a lot of this type of purchase Cooks Illustrated rated the Oxo Mandoline number one after their test so I bought it and love it. In another Cooks Illustrated review and the Culinary School I attend they rated the Swissmar peeler number one. The Swissmar peeler is all I use and love them. Both make good quality products don't think you will go wrong with either choice.

I see no difference between the two models. Both are mandolin slicers, both cut vegetables and fruit.

The V 1001 will basically give you 2 sizes of juliene cuts and a thick and thin slice . I have this and find it ample. The V 7000 has an adjuster on it to give you thin, med and thick for each of the blades . Either are great but I find covers all I want to do. So great , quick, easy clean and use it every day and still sharp as day of purchase. If you slice anything acidic say tomatoes rinse immediately as this blunten sooner .

They were all different. FYI - mine arrived broken so i returned it right away. It is very light weight (read:cheap), I can't imagine being able to cut through a potato or carrot, the force would slide it around the counter or break the handle.

I can't tell you what the differences are as I am not acquainted with those models. However I love the one I have. It has plenty of power and is very user friendly. Switches easily for different cleaning needs. I have no regrets with this vacuum.

Apparently the 831425 has a plain (non-serrated) blade, and the 831426 has the combo straight/serrated blade but I don't own both to positively verify. Non-serrated is easier to sharpen but combo blade cuts some things like rope better.

I believe that forschner was the name of the American distribitor and they have parted ways with Victorinox and the newer knives no longer say forschner. Same knife different label.

The difference is most likely going to be material quality. I use the Vermont American all the time and it does the job right on the spot, like a pro without it that has everything set into muscle memory. They look the same but one is going to last longer than the other, so go by the one that has better reviews by people.

I've used this one for years. the only difference between the two is just the width of the blade. I have always just switched between the two.

Darlene, I love this slicer. It is durable and works great. In fact, my sister is borrowing it. I bought it with a coupon so that helped but honestly it seems it will last a lifetime. Good luck!

As best I can see the pic you posted, it looks like the one I bought for my slicer and it is a wonderful blade. I almost never use the serrated blade. The smooth one slices cold cuts thinner than paper!!
