The Gramercy wins on longevity; the OXO handheld wins on space; SupMaKin covers heavy prep. - Author: Zaria Jarvis - Tags: Kitchen & Dining, Kitchen Tools, Cookware The best eco friendly mandoline slicer here is the Gramercy Kitchen Company Gramercy Mandoline, a 1.9 lb stainless-framed slicer with 12 thickness settings and a rotating blade cylinder that switches cut styles without swapping parts. If you want a lighter handheld that hooks over a bowl and stores flat, the 5.64 oz OXO Good Grips is the better buy. Both keep single-use plastic and blade cartridges out of the drawer.

So you have to define the term yourself before you shop. For a kitchen tool, three things carry real environmental weight: - **Longevity.** A stainless-framed slicer you keep for a decade beats a plastic one you replace every two years, regardless of what either label says. - **Repairable, non-disposable blades.** A fixed or rotating blade that stays sharp is better than a cartridge system that funnels used steel and plastic into the bin. - **No included consumables.** Blade guards you reuse, not gloves you throw away. Judged that way, the Gramercy leads because its stainless steel frame, single 4CR15 rotating blade and dishwasher-safe build tick all three. The OXO handheld matches the third and, at 5.64 oz, uses the least material of any pick here. The two SupMaKin models list an ABS shell with stainless blades, which the brand describes as eco-friendly ABS; that is the manufacturer's phrasing, and it is not an independent certification. ## How I screened this shortlist I compared the published listings for build material, thickness range, feed size, warranty and weight, then cut anything without a stated blade material or a stated thickness range. Three disqualifying gaps came up repeatedly. 1. **No stated blade steel.** If the listing does not name the steel, you cannot judge how long the edge lasts, and a mandoline that dulls in a month is an eco disaster. 2. **Snap-in blade cartridges.** Multiple listings sell julienne and waffle inserts that live in a plastic caddy. Every insert doubles the plastic footprint of the tool. 3. **No warranty or return path.** A tool with no route to replacement is a tool that ends up in landfill sooner. Five survived. The Gramercy publishes its 4CR15 blade steel and a top-rack dishwasher claim. The OXO carries the brand's Satisfaction Guaranteed return policy. Both SupMaKin models list a two-year manufacturer warranty, which is the longest stated warranty in the set. The ONCE FOR ALL lists 420 stainless blades and a hidden-blade housing that removes the need for cut-resistant gloves. ## 1\. Gramercy Mandoline Slicer — Best overall **A 1.9 lb stainless-framed adjustable slicer with 12 thickness settings and a rotating blade cylinder that replaces a drawer of plastic inserts.** [![Gramercy stainless mandoline with thickness dial — the build and blade design that separates it from the plastic-bodied picks](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71iF4G8NVfL._SL500_.jpg)](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IW6ORDY?tag=sbclearly-20) **Best for:** cooks who slice several times a week and want one tool that lasts **Skip it if:** you need something that folds flat into a drawer The Gramercy is the only pick here that pairs a stainless steel frame with a rotating blade cylinder. Gramercy says the cylinder switches between cutting styles smoothly by design, which means one blade housing does the job of the four-to-six-insert kits sold with cheaper mandolines. That single design choice cuts the plastic-per-tool ratio more than any label ever will. At 1.9 lb and 3.15 by 16.5 by 6.69 in, it is a full-size counter tool, not a foldable one. The blade is described as a Professional 4CR15 stainless steel edge; the brand says it delivers clean slices through onions and keeps its edge, and the top-rack dishwasher claim means you are not scrubbing with disposable pads. Twelve thickness settings on a dial is more than any other pick in the set. The trade-off against the SupMaKin models is real: no published warranty and the highest published on-counter footprint here. **Pros:** - Stainless steel frame across the whole body - 12 thickness settings on one dial - Rotating blade cylinder replaces insert kits - Top-rack dishwasher safe per the listing - 4CR15 blade steel is named on the listing **Cons:** - No warranty period stated on the listing - Larger footprint than the foldable picks - Only two sellers list it, so restocks can lag [Check Price on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IW6ORDY?tag=sbclearly-20) ## 2\. OXO Good Grips Handheld Mandoline — Best budget pick **A 5.64 oz handheld with three fixed thicknesses, a hook-over-bowl design and OXO's satisfaction-guaranteed return path.** [![OXO handheld mandoline hooked over a bowl — the compact form that uses the least material in the set](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/314uHZMK+mL._SL500_.jpg)](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000YDO2LG?tag=sbclearly-20) **Best for:** small kitchens and cooks who slice straight into a bowl **Skip it if:** you want a wide feed chute for whole potatoes The OXO is the lightest tool here by a wide margin. At 5.64 oz and 11.5 by 3.75 by 0.5 in, it uses less material than anything else in the set and stores in a drawer the way a Microplane does. That is an environmental argument the marketing copy never makes: less steel and plastic per tool is less steel and plastic to eventually recycle. OXO says it adjusts to 1 mm, 2.5 mm or 4 mm, and the brand names potatoes, cabbage, onions and cheese as the intended jobs. Three fixed settings is the narrowest range on this page, and the handheld format means you hold the tool in one hand and the food in the other, so a cut-resistant glove or the food's own holder matters more than on a benchtop design. What lifts it above the SupMaKin entries at this price is OXO's stated return policy: any reason, replacement or refund. That policy is the eco argument in miniature, because it is what keeps a working tool out of the bin. **Pros:** - Lightest tool in the set at 5.64 oz - OXO's Satisfaction Guaranteed policy is stated - Three defined thicknesses: 1, 2.5, 4 mm - Volume window shows what you've sliced - Hooks over a bowl for direct slicing **Cons:** - Only three thickness settings - No stated blade steel on the listing - Handheld format needs two-handed control [Check Price on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000YDO2LG?tag=sbclearly-20) ## 3\. SupMaKin Safe Mandoline Slicer — Best for heavy use **A 1.5 lb push-handle slicer with a two-year manufacturer warranty and a claimed 0.1 to 8 mm thickness range.** [![SupMaKin push-handle mandoline with 3 in feed port — the design aimed at repeated batch slicing](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/418s9v5o22L._SL500_.jpg)](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D1T9S6CV?tag=sbclearly-20) **Best for:** batch cooks working through carrots, cucumbers and hard root vegetables **Skip it if:** you want dishwasher-safe with the fewest moving parts This SupMaKin trades the Gramercy's stainless frame for a lighter body, and in return you get a two-year manufacturer warranty. That is the longest stated warranty in the set and the strongest signal that the tool is meant to be repaired or replaced rather than binned. It weighs 1.5 lb, less than the Gramercy at 1.9 lb, and the listed dimensions of 13 by 5 by 6 in put it in between benchtop and handheld formats. SupMaKin describes a built-in blade design that removes the need to touch the edge during use, a 3 in feed port sized for potatoes, carrots and cucumbers, and a claimed 0.1 to 8 mm thickness range. Treat the range as the manufacturer's claim rather than a measured figure. The listing describes a foldable, compact design and dishwasher use. The trade-off against the Gramercy is the body material: no stainless frame, and the model number JS01 does not name the blade steel on the listing. **Pros:** - 2-year manufacturer warranty stated - 1.5 lb, the lightest push-handle pick here - Built-in blade housing, no glove needed - Dishwasher use described by the brand - Foldable form saves cabinet space **Cons:** - Blade steel not named on the listing - Thickness range is a manufacturer claim - 3 in feed port is narrower than the Plus model - Sales rank is the lowest of the five picks [Check Price on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D1T9S6CV?tag=sbclearly-20) ## 4\. SupMaKin Safe Mandoline Slicer Plus — Best for families **A 2.5 lb upgrade with a 3.9 by 4.7 in feed chute, four cutting modes and a 24-month warranty for larger household prep.** [![SupMaKin Plus mandoline with wide feed chute — the version built around slicing bigger vegetables in fewer passes](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51S+H6iRUPL._SL500_.jpg)](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09XTLHV5H?tag=sbclearly-20) **Best for:** households slicing large volumes with a 3.9 by 4.7 in feed chute **Skip it if:** you want a stainless body rather than an ABS shell The Plus is the biggest-feed pick in the set. SupMaKin lists a 3.9 by 4.7 in feeding port, which is roughly double the surface of the standard 3 in port on the JS01\. For a family cooking gratin, coleslaw or a tray of scalloped potatoes, that means fewer trims and fewer passes. Four cutting modes, listed as slice, strip, dice and julienne, sit on one tool with no insert cartridges to store. The shell is what SupMaKin calls eco-friendly ABS with built-in rust-resistant stainless steel blades. Treat "eco-friendly ABS" as the brand's phrasing; there is no certification quoted on the listing. What the listing does state is a 24-month warranty, which matches the shorter JS01 warranty period. At 2.5 lb it is the heaviest pick here, and only one seller lists it, which is worth knowing if you plan to buy replacement parts later. Against the Gramercy, the honest trade-off is body material: ABS shell versus stainless frame, in exchange for the wider chute. **Pros:** - 3.9 by 4.7 in feed chute is the widest here - Four cutting modes on one tool - 24-month warranty stated on the listing - Automatic-rebound handle described - Dishwasher safe and BPA-free per the brand **Cons:** - ABS shell rather than a stainless frame - Heaviest pick in the set at 2.5 lb - Only one seller lists it - "Eco-friendly ABS" is a manufacturer term [Check Price on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09XTLHV5H?tag=sbclearly-20) ## 5\. ONCE FOR ALL Upgrade Safe Mandoline Slicer Plus — Best premium **A 1.98 lb hidden-blade slicer with 420 stainless blades and four cutting modes at the top price position in this set.** [![ONCE FOR ALL sky blue mandoline with hidden blade housing — the premium build in this comparison](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41x2kodEmxL._SL500_.jpg)](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09YH81B9Z?tag=sbclearly-20) **Best for:** cooks who want a hidden-blade design with a 24-month warranty tier **Skip it if:** you want the largest feed chute in the set The ONCE FOR ALL sits at the top of the price ladder for this comparison, and it earns that position with two specifics. First, the blade is named: 420 stainless steel, quoted by the brand. Second, the design routes the blade behind a housing, so no cut-resistant glove is packed with the tool, and none is thrown away. That is a quiet eco point that never appears on the product page: consumables you don't need are consumables you don't produce. Listed dimensions are 3.5 by 6.89 by 4.33 in at 1.98 lb. The brand describes a collapsible design and a small cleaning brush, and it offers julienne, matchstick, slicing and dicing modes on the same tool. The trade-off against the SupMaKin Plus is the feed chute, which the ONCE FOR ALL listing does not size on the specifications, and against the Gramercy it is body material: no stainless frame is stated. What you are paying the extra for is the hidden-blade format and the named blade steel, not a larger chute or a stainless body. **Pros:** - 420 stainless steel blade named on the listing - Hidden-blade housing removes glove need - Four cutting modes on one tool - Compact 3.5 by 6.89 by 4.33 in footprint - Collapsible design described by the brand **Cons:** - Highest price position of the five picks - Feed chute size not stated on the listing - No warranty period stated on the listing - Body material not specified [Check Price on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09YH81B9Z?tag=sbclearly-20) ## Thickness range: where the picks actually differ If you cook chips, gratin and quick pickles from the same tool, thickness range is what decides the buy. The five picks land in three tiers. - **Widest published range: Gramercy, 12 settings on a dial.** This is the only pick in the set that gives you a numbered dial rather than a mode switch or three fixed steps. - **Middle: SupMaKin JS01, a claimed 0.1 to 8 mm range.** Treat this as the manufacturer's claim rather than a calibrated figure; in practice you'll settle on three or four positions. - **Narrowest published range: OXO, 1 mm, 2.5 mm or 4 mm.** For everyday potatoes, cabbage and onions, three positions is enough. For 1 mm crisps and 6 mm chips from the same tool, it is not. The SupMaKin Plus and the ONCE FOR ALL Plus are mode-first tools rather than thickness-first tools. They win on cut variety, not on thickness fineness. If your kitchen is a chip-and-gratin kitchen, buy from the dial group. If it is a slaw-and-julienne kitchen, buy from the mode group. ## Hand safety without the plastic waste Mandolines cut people. That is why cheap ones ship with a disposable glove and a plastic food holder, and both of those consumables are the environmental cost that never makes the marketing page. Three of the five picks here design the problem out rather than shipping consumables to solve it. 1. The Gramercy still ships cut-resistant gloves, a removable blade guard and a cleaning brush; the gloves are reusable, which is the point. 2. The SupMaKin JS01 uses a built-in blade housing so you push a handle rather than the food itself. 3. The ONCE FOR ALL routes the blade behind a hidden housing for the same reason. The trick is this: a tool that separates your hand from the blade by design produces zero disposable safety consumables over its life. A tool that relies on a glove and a plastic pusher produces both. If eco is your primary filter, the JS01 and the ONCE FOR ALL win the safety-waste question, and the OXO handheld sidesteps it by being small enough to hold correctly. ## Which pick fits your kitchen? Answer these three questions and the decision falls out on its own. - **Do you slice more than twice a week?** If yes, the Gramercy's stainless frame earns its price position; if no, the OXO is enough. - **Do you prep for four or more people?** If yes, the SupMaKin Plus's 3.9 by 4.7 in feed chute saves the most time; if no, a 3 in port is fine. - **Do you want a hidden blade rather than an exposed one?** If yes, the ONCE FOR ALL or the SupMaKin JS01 are the two designs that hide the edge; the Gramercy and OXO expose it. Two flips worth calling out. If you cook in a rental with tight drawer space, the OXO's 0.5 in depth beats every benchtop design here, and no eco argument matters if the tool lives on top of the fridge. And if you want the longest stated warranty in the set, both SupMaKin models list 24 months, which the Gramercy, OXO and ONCE FOR ALL listings do not match. ## The verdict The best eco friendly mandoline slicer here is the Gramercy Mandoline. It pairs the only fully stainless frame in the set with a rotating blade cylinder that replaces the plastic insert kits sold with cheaper mandolines, and its 12 thickness settings on a dial cover chips, gratin, slaw and quick pickles from a single tool. A stainless body and a single-blade design is the eco case in physical form: fewer parts to replace, less plastic to bin. If your kitchen is small or your prep is light, the OXO handheld is the better buy. At 5.64 oz it uses less material than anything else on this page, and the brand's Satisfaction Guaranteed return policy is the clearest route to keeping a working tool out of landfill. The cutoff is roughly two slicing sessions per week: below that, the OXO earns its keep; above it, the Gramercy pays back the extra price position in years of service. The SupMaKin Plus is the family default when a 3.9 by 4.7 in feed chute matters more than a stainless body. ## FAQ ### What makes a mandoline slicer eco friendly in the first place? What makes a mandoline eco friendly is not a label; it is longevity, a repairable blade and no shipped consumables. A stainless frame you keep for a decade beats a plastic body you replace in two years. A single rotating blade beats a caddy of plastic inserts. And a hidden-blade design that removes the need for disposable gloves beats one that ships them in the box. ### Is the Gramercy mandoline worth it over the OXO handheld? The Gramercy is worth it over the OXO if you slice more than twice a week or cook for more than two people. Its 12 thickness settings and 4CR15 stainless blade cover a wider job list than the OXO's three fixed thicknesses. For occasional slicing, the 5.64 oz OXO uses less material, stores flatter and is easier to justify. ### How does the SupMaKin Plus compare to the ONCE FOR ALL Plus? The SupMaKin Plus and the ONCE FOR ALL Plus share the four-mode format, but the SupMaKin Plus lists a 3.9 by 4.7 in feed chute and a 24-month warranty, while the ONCE FOR ALL names its 420 stainless blade and a compact 3.5 by 6.89 by 4.33 in footprint. Choose the SupMaKin for family-size prep; choose the ONCE FOR ALL for the tighter footprint and named blade steel. ### Are ABS-bodied mandoline slicers really eco friendly? ABS-bodied mandolines can be reasonable if the tool lasts. SupMaKin describes its shell as eco-friendly ABS, which is the manufacturer's phrasing rather than an independent certification. What matters more for the environmental case is that the blade housing is not disposable and the warranty is long enough to make repair worthwhile. Both SupMaKin models list 24 months, which supports the case. ### What thickness range do I actually need for a home kitchen? What thickness range you need depends on what you cook. For potatoes, cabbage and onions in three defined thicknesses, the OXO's 1, 2.5 and 4 mm covers the standard set. For chips, gratin, coleslaw and quick pickles from the same tool, the Gramercy's 12 dial settings gives you the fine control. Anything wider than 8 mm is a chef's knife job. Start with the Gramercy if slicing is a weekly job in your kitchen; its stainless frame and 4CR15 blade are the design choices that turn a mandoline from a consumable into an heirloom, and that shift is the whole environmental argument in one tool. Add the OXO handheld only if you also want a bowl-hook slicer in the drawer for a single tomato or a quick handful of radishes. The five picks here disagree on chute size, body material and warranty length, but they agree on the one thing that matters: a mandoline you keep for a decade is worth ten you replace. *Last updated: September 20, 2026\.
