Rant: I dropped $35 on a cheap mandoline slicer and it was a total waste

I thought it would be a game changer for making big batches of coleslaw and potato dishes on a budget. The first time I used it, it shredded a carrot unevenly and the guard slipped. Last week, it took a chunk out of my thumb while I was slicing onions, and I spent more on bandages than I saved on veggies. Now it just sits in a drawer, and I'm back to using my trusty old knife. Has anyone found a kitchen gadget that actually works without costing a fortune?

Wait, it took a chunk out of your thumb?

Probably should have been wearing gloves. The real question is whether it's worth a trip to urgent care or just superglue.
