Our verdict

Small batch cooking means a few slices at a time, so the slicer should store small and come out often. The OXO Good Grips Handheld publishes 0.5 by 3.75 inches and 0.35 pounds, and it adjusts to 1 mm, 2.5 mm or 4 mm. The Solucky publishes 0.98 by 2.0 inches and 0.5 pounds with five interchangeable blades. The ONCE FOR ALL publishes 4.33 by 6.89 inches and 1.98 pounds with a 0.1 to 8 mm range. The SupMaKin publishes 6.0 by 5.0 inches and 1.5 pounds with a 0.1 to 8 mm range. The Ourokhome publishes 5.2 by 10.24 inches and 1.7 pounds with six blades and a 2 L tray.

“Small batches reward a slicer that stores small and sets up fast.”

Lush Editorial Team

What separates these five

Width and depth decide the pick The five publish widths from 0.5 to 6.69 inches and depths from 2.0 to 16.54 inches. On a small counter, that spread is the whole decision.
Thickness range is the second filter The OXO publishes three settings, 1 mm, 2.5 mm and 4 mm. The SupMaKin and ONCE FOR ALL publish 0.1 to 8 mm ranges. The Solucky, Ourokhome and Gramercy do not publish a full range.
A catch tray changes cleanup The Ourokhome publishes a 2 L tray and the Solucky a transparent catch tray. The OXO, SupMaKin and ONCE FOR ALL do not publish a container capacity.
Blade handling is stated or not The SupMaKin and ONCE FOR ALL state built-in or hidden blades. The Solucky and Ourokhome publish interchangeable blade sets. The OXO publishes fixed settings.
Storage is part of the footprint The SupMaKin and ONCE FOR ALL publish foldable or collapsible bodies. The OXO is a handheld at 0.5 by 3.75 inches. The Ourokhome and Solucky publish trays that store with the unit.

How we chose

Priorities, not a computed score. The inputs are published specifications, so we rank by what matters most and say how much.

  1. 30% Published width and depthThese two figures decide whether the slicer earns counter space in a small kitchen.
  2. 25% Stated thickness settingsA published range tells you how fine or thick the slicer can go, which matters when a batch is only one or two servings.
  3. 20% Stated blade count and modesInterchangeable blades and multi-mode designs replace several tools, which matters when storage is tight.
  4. 15% Stated container capacityA published tray or container figure tells you whether prepped food has somewhere to land.
  5. 10% Stated storage designFoldable and collapsible bodies are published facts, and they change where the slicer lives.

How the Five Compare on the Numbers

Small batch cooking changes the question from how much a slicer can process to how little room it can take and how quickly it can be put away. The five picks publish widths from 0.5 to 6.69 inches and depths from 2.0 to 16.54 inches. The OXO publishes 0.5 by 3.75 inches and 0.35 pounds. The Solucky publishes 0.98 by 2.0 inches and 0.5 pounds. Those two figures set the compact end of this group.

The middle of the group publishes larger footprints but adds stated functions. The ONCE FOR ALL publishes 4.33 by 6.89 inches and 1.98 pounds with four modes. The Ourokhome publishes 5.2 by 10.24 inches and 1.7 pounds with six blades and a 2 L tray. The SupMaKin publishes 6.0 by 5.0 inches and 1.5 pounds with a 0.1 to 8 mm range. The Gramercy Kitchen Company publishes 6.69 by 16.54 inches and 1.9 pounds.

The table does not tell you how any of these cut. No one at Lush has used these machines, and the makers publish capability, not performance. It also does not settle which slicer feels steady under hand, how loud the blade is against a carrot, or how the plastic ages. Those are not published figures, so they are not in the table.

Footprint and Storage for a Small Counter

The two compact picks

The OXO publishes 0.5 by 3.75 inches and 0.35 pounds. It is a handheld, so it does not sit on the counter at all; it hooks over a bowl or rests on a board, and the maker states a large non-slip handle and a stable foot. For a kitchen where the counter is cleared after every meal, that published shape is the point.

The Solucky publishes 0.98 by 2.0 inches and 0.5 pounds, with five interchangeable blades and a transparent catch tray. It is the second smallest of the five by published width and depth. The tray means prepped food lands in the container rather than on the board, which suits a batch of one or two servings.

What the larger bodies buy

The SupMaKin publishes 6.0 by 5.0 inches and 1.5 pounds, with a foldable body and built-in blades. The ONCE FOR ALL publishes 4.33 by 6.89 inches and 1.98 pounds, with a collapsible body and four modes. Both publish 0.1 to 8 mm thickness ranges, which the OXO and Solucky do not.

The Ourokhome publishes 5.2 by 10.24 inches and 1.7 pounds, with six blades and a 2 L tray. That is the only published container capacity among the five. If your small batch still produces trimmings and you want them collected, that figure is the one to weigh against the extra depth.

Blades, Modes and Thickness Ranges

Fixed settings against published ranges

The OXO publishes three settings: 1 mm, 2.5 mm and 4 mm. That is a narrow, stated set, and it covers cucumber, potato and onion at everyday thicknesses. The SupMaKin and ONCE FOR ALL each publish a 0.1 to 8 mm range, which is a much longer stated span. The Solucky, Ourokhome and Gramercy Kitchen Company do not publish a thickness range in millimeters.

For small batch cooking, a long range matters less than repeatability. If you slice one cucumber at a time, three published settings may be enough. If you want matchsticks for a single salad, the ONCE FOR ALL publishes julienne, matchstick, slicing and dicing modes with no blade change, which is a stated capability the OXO does not have.

Blade handling and blade counts

The SupMaKin states built-in blades and no blade touching. The ONCE FOR ALL states a hidden blade. Both publish safety as a design claim, not a measured result. The Solucky publishes five interchangeable blades and the Ourokhome six, including 2 mm and 4 mm slicing blades, a wave blade, a coarse grating blade, a shredding blade and a mashing blade.

Interchangeable blades mean storage for loose parts, which is a real cost in a small kitchen. Built-in blades mean fewer parts to lose. The published features point in opposite directions here, and neither is better in the abstract; it depends on whether you would rather store blades or give up cut variety.

Which One Fits Your Kitchen

You slice a handful at a time and want nothing on the counter. The OXO publishes 0.5 by 3.75 inches and 0.35 pounds, with three settings. It stores in a drawer and comes out for one cucumber.

You want several cuts but a small body. The Solucky publishes 0.98 by 2.0 inches and 0.5 pounds, with five interchangeable blades and a catch tray. It covers shred, slice, julienne and grate in one compact unit.

You want a published millimeter range and no blade handling. The SupMaKin publishes 0.1 to 8 mm with built-in blades and a foldable body. It is the pick when thickness control is the priority.

You want prepped food collected as you work. The Ourokhome publishes a 2 L tray and six blades. It is the only one of the five with a published container capacity, and it takes more depth because of it.

You want four cutting modes without changing blades. The ONCE FOR ALL publishes julienne, matchstick, slicing and dicing modes, a 0.1 to 8 mm range, and a collapsible body at 1.98 pounds.

What We Could Not Verify

Several figures the makers do not publish would change how these five compare. We list them rather than fill them in.

  • The Gramercy Kitchen Company publishes 12 slice settings in its title, but no thickness range in millimeters.
  • The Solucky, Ourokhome and Gramercy Kitchen Company do not publish a thickness range in millimeters.
  • The SupMaKin, ONCE FOR ALL and OXO do not publish a container capacity.
  • The Ourokhome, ONCE FOR ALL and SupMaKin do not publish a dishwasher rating.
  • The Gramercy Kitchen Company publishes a 4CR15 stainless steel blade but no blade count.
  • No maker publishes a cut speed, a slice count per minute, or any measured output figure.

Frequently asked questions

Why does small batch cooking change the choice?+

A small batch means fewer slices per session, so the slicer spends more time stored than working. Published width and depth matter more than throughput. The OXO publishes 0.5 by 3.75 inches and 0.35 pounds, the Solucky 0.98 by 2.0 inches and 0.5 pounds. Both take little room, which suits a kitchen where counter space is scarce.

Which of the five publishes the smallest weight?+

The OXO publishes 0.35 pounds, the smallest weight among the five. The Solucky publishes 0.5 pounds, the SupMaKin 1.5 pounds, the Ourokhome 1.7 pounds and the ONCE FOR ALL 1.98 pounds. The Gramercy Kitchen Company publishes 1.9 pounds, the largest weight among the five.

Do any of these publish a thickness range in millimeters?+

Three do. The SupMaKin and ONCE FOR ALL each publish a 0.1 to 8 mm range. The OXO publishes three settings: 1 mm, 2.5 mm and 4 mm. The Solucky, Ourokhome and Gramercy Kitchen Company do not publish a thickness range in millimeters, so that figure is not available for those three.

Which ones publish a container for prepped food?+

The Ourokhome publishes a 2 L collection tray. The Solucky publishes a transparent catch tray, though no capacity figure is stated. The OXO, SupMaKin and ONCE FOR ALL do not publish a container capacity. If you want prepped food to land somewhere rather than on the board, the published tray figures point to the Ourokhome.

Which ones state that blades do not need handling?+

The SupMaKin states built-in blades and no blade touching. The ONCE FOR ALL states a hidden blade and no need to change the blade across its four modes. The Solucky and Ourokhome publish interchangeable blade sets, so blades are changed by design. The OXO publishes fixed settings rather than a blade change.

Which ones publish a foldable or collapsible body?+

The SupMaKin publishes a foldable and compact design that takes up little cabinet space. The ONCE FOR ALL publishes a collapsible design. The OXO is a handheld at 0.5 by 3.75 inches. The Ourokhome and Solucky publish trays that store with the unit. The Gramercy Kitchen Company does not publish a folding figure.
