How the Five Compare on the Numbers
Two of these five put a measurement in the size entry. The other three put a count of slicing presets, a sentence about the blades, and a product code, which means that on three of five listings the slot a buyer checks first contains no figure a tape measure could confirm. All five fill their width, depth and height fields, so the figures exist. They are just somewhere else.
All five publish a weight too, running from 0.4 lb to 2.0 lb, and all five name a cleaning route. Only two publish a measurement outside the entry and the fields, and only one labels which figure is which, which turns out to be the listing whose entry is a preset count.
What the table cannot tell you is where four of these five sets of figures came from. ONCE FOR ALL’s 4.33, 6.89 and 3.94 inches are 11.0, 17.5 and 10.0 centimeters. Benriner’s 4.72, 12.6 and 1.57 inches are 12.0, 32.0 and 4.0 centimeters. Those are round numbers in a unit the field does not name.
When the Entry Is a Measurement
Three Figures, Three Labels, Three Matching Fields
ZKIRON writes 11.61″L x 4.02″W x 1.97″H. It is the only entry on this page that puts a letter beside each figure, which removes the one ambiguity every other listing here leaves open, and its width, depth and height fields carry 4.02, 11.61 and 1.97 inches, the same three numbers. A buyer never has to work out which direction is which.
Nothing else on the listing restates it. The bullets cover the three thickness settings at 1mm, 2mm and 3mm on a thumb slider, an included hand guard with two spiked contact surfaces, a grip handle and a grooved end that hooks over a mixing bowl rim, and a locked slider position for storage. At 0.4 lb it is the lightest of these five and it is stated to store flat or hang by a built in hole.
A Centimeter Triple Read Backwards
Ibergrif writes 35.5*10.5*1.7 cm, the only metric entry here. Its fields read 2.28, 4.61 and 14.06 inches, which are 5.8, 11.7 and 35.7 centimeters. So the 35.5 that opens the entry is the figure the fields put last, the order has reversed, and two of the three figures changed on the way: 10.5 against 11.7 and 1.7 against 5.8.
No bullet gives a measurement, so there is no third source. The 35.5 and the 35.7 are close enough to be the same object measured twice, which makes the 1.7 against 5.8 the figure to doubt rather than the whole triple. Three fixed thickness settings are published at 1mm, 2mm and 4mm, with a food holder, a safety lock for storage and cleaning, a non-slip design and rinsing in clear water.
When the Entry Is a Count or a Sentence
A Preset Count, and the Real Measurement in a Bullet
DASH puts its slicing preset count in the size entry, which is a number and not a size. Its first bullet then does something no other listing here manages: it gives height as 14 inch, width as 4.7 inch and length as 11 inch, each one named, and the three dimension fields carry exactly those figures. So the labeled measurement exists and it is three bullets away from where a buyer looks.
It is also the only one of these five whose field figures are not round centimeters in disguise. The second bullet gives the slicing range as 1 to 8mm with julienne, matchstick and dicing options, the third says the compact design folds down for storage and names an included brush and a food catch container, and the weight field reads 1.4 lb.
A Sentence About Blades, and the Size in the Title
Benriner fills its size entry with a sentence about four Japanese stainless steel blades. That sentence is accurate, because the third bullet itemizes one fixed straight blade and three interchangeable ones in coarse, medium and fine tooth, and it is still not a size. The measurement is in the title instead, as 12.75 by 3.625 inches, and the second bullet repeats it.
The fields then give 4.72, 12.6 and 1.57 inches. The 12.6 and the 12.75 are close. The 4.72 and the 3.625 are not, and the 1.57 is a third figure the maker never publishes. The same bullet publishes a 2.5 inch wide slicing surface, so this listing carries three different widths: the maker’s 3.625, the field’s 4.72, and the 2.5 of the cutting bed itself.
When the Entry Is a Product Code
A Model Name, and Three Fields With Nothing Behind Them
ONCE FOR ALL fills its size entry with a product code. No title figure, no bullet figure, no restatement anywhere: the width, depth and height fields of 4.33, 6.89 and 3.94 inches are the only measurement on the whole listing, and nothing on the page confirms or contradicts them. For a product bought on counter space, that is the thinnest position of these five.
What it does publish is the most specific blade claim here, 420 stainless steel, plus four cutting modes in julienne, matchstick, slicing and dicing with no blade change, an adjustable thickness of 0.1 to 8mm, a collapsible body, an included brush and a twenty four month warranty. At 2.0 lb it is the heaviest of these five.
Which Figures Survive a Second Reading
Four of these five publish at least one dimension field that is a round centimeter figure written as inches. ONCE FOR ALL’s three are 11.0, 17.5 and 10.0 centimeters. Benriner’s three are 12.0, 32.0 and 4.0 centimeters. Ibergrif’s three are 5.8, 11.7 and 35.7 centimeters. ZKIRON’s 1.97 inches is 5.0 centimeters exactly, while its other two are not round in either unit.
DASH is the exception, and that is the whole point of reading these twice. Its maker wrote 14 inch, 4.7 inch and 11 inch in its own bullet, named each axis, and the fields repeat them unconverted. So the one listing here that put a preset count where its size belongs is also the only one whose figures were never translated out of another unit first.
Which One Fits Your Kitchen
A handheld slicer that hooks on a bowl. ZKIRON. 11.61 by 4.02 by 1.97 inches with every axis labeled in the entry and repeated in the fields. Three settings at 1mm, 2mm and 3mm, a hand guard, a grip handle, a locking slider, 0.4 lb, stores flat or hangs.
Three fixed thickness settings and a lock. Ibergrif. Published as 35.5 by 10.5 by 1.7 centimeters in the entry, against fields of 2.28, 4.61 and 14.06 inches in the reverse order. Settings at 1mm, 2mm and 4mm, a food holder, a safety lock, no assembly, 0.71 lb.
Folding away after prep. DASH. The only listing here that labels its own figures, at 14 inch high, 4.7 inch wide and 11 inch long, matched by all three fields. Slices 1 to 8mm with julienne, matchstick and dicing, folds down, includes a brush and a catch container, 1.4 lb.
Four blades and a dishwasher. Benriner. One fixed blade plus three interchangeable in coarse, medium and fine tooth, a dial from 0.5 to 8 millimeters, a 2.5 inch slicing surface, a non-skid base and a bowl hook. Published as 12.75 by 3.625 inches, top rack dishwasher safe, 0.76 lb.
Four cutting modes without a blade swap. ONCE FOR ALL. 420 stainless steel blades, julienne, matchstick, slicing and dicing at once, 0.1 to 8mm adjustable, a collapsible body, an included brush and a twenty four month warranty. At 2.0 lb it is the heaviest here, and its size entry is a product code.
What We Could Not Verify
Everything above is read off each maker’s own listing text. These are the things those listings leave open, and this page does not fill them in.
- Whether the ONCE FOR ALL field figures are right, since nothing in its title or its bullets repeats any of them.
- Which of the Ibergrif figures is 1.7 centimeters and which is 5.8, because its entry and its fields each give one and run in opposite orders.
- Why the Benriner width field reads 4.72 inches where its own title and bullet both give 3.625 inches.
- What the 1.57 inch Benriner height field measures, a figure the maker publishes nowhere in words.
- A body measurement for ZKIRON or Ibergrif outside the entry and the fields, which neither listing provides.
- Whether the ZKIRON, Ibergrif and ONCE FOR ALL figures were measured in inches at all, given how many of them are round centimeters.
