Costco has a kickass one, all stainless, 6 cutting blades and dies,
nice hefty feel for 39.99. Comes with samples of Taquito's, and Cajun
flavored chicken wings.

I haven't seen that one - is it in the store or on the website?
I bought - and returned - a mandoline at Costco a year or two ago. It
looked good, had all the design features I wanted - but the blades were
cr*p.

Costco did have a good one about a year ago. I returned it, too. It
was a monster to deal with.
