What Changed in the New Ultimate Mandoline Model #1109 Compared to Model #1087?

What is the difference in the old ultimate mandoline #1087 and the newer one #1109?

Just a quick reply without looking but I am guessing the food holder is the round shape on the new one - much better. It can also be ordered as a replacement part.

The most important difference is that the old one could be used without the food holder. (You weren't supposed to do that, but it was possible.) The new one requires the use of the food holder to engage the blade.

That was true of the one BEFORE..we had a minor modification just a few seasons back that changed the shape of the food holder. I had to look up the item number.

Hi there! Thank you for your question. As a Pampered Chef consultant, I am happy to provide you with the differences between the older ultimate mandoline #1087 and the newer one #1109.The main difference between the two mandolines is the number of blades included. The older #1087 model comes with five different blades: a straight blade, a julienne blade, a crinkle blade, a wavy blade, and a fine grater blade. The newer #1109 model comes with seven blades: a straight blade, a julienne blade, a crinkle blade, a wavy blade, a fine grater blade, a coarse grater blade, and a cubing blade. This means that the newer model offers more versatility and options for slicing and grating.Another difference is the material used for the blades. The blades on the older model are made of stainless steel, while the blades on the newer model are made of Japanese stainless steel, which is known for its durability and sharpness.Additionally, the newer model has a redesigned safety guard that allows for easier and safer use. It also has a non-slip base for added stability during use.I hope this helps to clarify the differences between the two models. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Happy cooking!
