@@misterhat5823Yeah, if he started taking sponsors the reviews would become suspect. The fact that he gets freebies sometimes doesn't bother me since he doesn't ask for them which means no one is being forced in any way.
I am on the opposite side..I was hoping on him to do sponsorships..He could do sponsorships from products that he reviewed and loved..With those special items, he would also be able to offer his viewers discounts on the sponsorships that he loves and trusts..Plus, with all the extra money from the sponsorships (hundreds to thousands per video) he could put the money into the videos or use it so he could go back to making less videos to make his life easier as he deserves it..
@@adamfroman7983 He kinda does that already but without sponsorship. He puts the items he trusts on his website store and also give freebies every month.
The unevenness is probably caused by how you are holding up the slicer instead of resting it vertically on a surface - as you push, the pressure is moving the grater hand away causing it to slice unevenly.
I have this exact slicer and I found the best way is to actually draw the tool across the food(especially cabbage) or with the slicer on top of a bowl and drawing the food across the tool perpendicularly. I didn't have great success with cheese. Thank you for the videos!!!
@@Expo- This is the only review channel I watch. Not specifically due to lack of sponsors, but it's kinda part of the package-deal of what makes James excellent at what he does.
❤❤ I LOVE the fact that you do NOT take sponsorships. This means that EVERY product you have EVER shown on your channel gets your honest review. You have already saved me money and I am fairly new to your channel. I can only guess that a lot of other people have saved a lot of $$ after watching your channel. Thanks for what you have done and keep on doing. Simple thing like this channel helping to make the world a better place.
Man, that No Sponsor really has great products 👍 The blades don't seem that great, but usually I would put a bowl right beneath it, a really big one so you can rest it on there. The "Awkward-O-Meter" needs to return one day xD
That round grater is the best! I bought one after watching your video and I gotta say I love it!!! came super quick too! You haven't let me down yet! Thank you.
For the people attacking the way he's using the slicer, he's imitating how the people themselves were demonstrating how to use the slicer. You wanna nitpick somebody, nitpick the people who are selling this thing. Keep up the good work, James.
Not taking sponsors I’d exactly why I follow you! I only subscribe to a couple channels, and of those, this is the only one that I watch every video and have purchased a couple items based on your UNBIASED reviews. Kudos!
For a second when you said I want to thank today's sponsor, I thought huh what...I've been watching for years and haven't seen that, then caught on 😂😂 you know you should be asleep when your head thinks James has taken a sponsor. Also I was hiding behind my hand seeing how close your fingers were to that blade, damn. That's dangerous right there
The julienne cut, also known as the allumette or french cut, is a versatile knife cut that allows vegetables, fruits and meat to be cut into fine, thin strips similar to perfectly cut matchsticks. The strips are about 1/16 to 1/8 inches thick and about 3 inches
Hey, James! I applaud you for not taking sponsors. It seems like every UA-camr that does gets crap because the company ends up in some controversy or terrible scandal lmao 🤣
There are already multiple UA-camrs I quit following when they start to peddle sponsors. Many of them are interesting and just when a new one gets to a point their videos are becoming more "professional, then they cut down the videos to 5 min soundbites, but half of it is advertisement! That is when I quit watching. Greed has no limit!
Some UA-camrs make that their whole channel. Talking about different companies and digging into them and their products. I know she is in war with some folks but there is this one UA-camr I really like named Blair. Her channel is Illuminaughti
That's the problem with sponsorships, since they're PAYING for the video, how can you trust that what the content creator is SAYING about them is unbiased? Dissing the product is a good way to loose your funding, so they want to talk it up, even if it's mediocre. HOPEFULLY they aren't enough of a sell out to tout a truly BAD product.....but can you be SURE?
James, you’re one of my favorite UA-cam creators, you have a magic about you that makes me feel happy whenever I see your videos, everyone thinks I’m weird for watching reviews of stuff I’m never gonna buy but they don’t understand how awesome you are, thanks for being my friend even though you don’t know me😊
Something a heard a long time ago that still holds up, to this day (this slicer thing included)... The more things a tool does, the less it does those things well.
I've got one of these, though I got no glove or brush. I found that holding down on the plate with the "bumper" worked best because it prevents the slicer from moving while you're trying to slice.
James, I have been a long time fan, but it really needs to be pointed out that you didn't use this product to its intended use. it looks like it has a rubber thing at the end of it, the purpose of which, seems like it's supposed to rest on a surface while you use it. Granting arguendo that it does not look like it has the best blades. I still think it should be given a fair chance. Cheers James.
I haven't watched all recent videos atm but if you start off all your future videos with that input of the videos "not being sponsored" I think it would help to continue building your brand since your reviews are honest and fair.
Dude, you are soooo Murican! 😂😂 I just cant not luv ya! ❤😅 You must lay that damned slicer on a bowl or onto anything that you slice your shit into! 😅😂 Me duuuude 😂😂
My nerves were on edge with this one. I am a victim of mandolin slicer chaos. If they offer a glove, send it back. When you cut the cheese without the glove, I kept thinking, "Well, there goes a finger!" Great review ... you need to be seen my Hollyweird to be the next Billy Mays.
I have a cheap one similar to this and the seam from where the attachments meet the base gets in the way of moving the vegetables. This one looks very good though.
I bought one of these. Found that moving the slicer instead of the veggies worked better for some reason. Also,. sliced the knuckle of my index finger clean off while learning to use it
This might be a good tool to use the Pan Buddy with. It might provide enough (wrist) support to allow you to move back and forth on that thing with quickness.
Lol damnit James! I thought something was different but I couldn't figure it out immediately, until you said, "This video is being sponsored by..." I thought this was maybe your first sponsor, because I've watched every video on this channel, and swore I've never seen a sponsor. You almost got me! Lol....why do other creators say they HAVE TO get sponsorships to make any money? Are they lying to me? Lol ❤
I am thinking of buying the Emeril Lagasse Dual Action Oven. It's a large oven that can be split into 2 working ovens. Please consider testing this brand of oven James before I invest 💰 $$$. Thanks! I really enjoy your honest reviews!!
I know you never wanted to do sponsors, but if it ever comes the day that the videos arent generating enough revenue to make it worth making videos, rather than quitting, I am sure most of us would understand and be fine with you doing sponsors. We get it. 😁 I just wanted to say that because Ive seen a lot of youtubers complaining about their money lately and giving up on their channels. Funny thing is, a lot of them already have sponsors lol. Just want you to keep doing this for a long time to come or at least as long as you still enjoy it 😁👍
I bet the issues you were having with uniform cuts was due to the way you were holding the food you were cutting. Can tell by the placement of the food on the cutter when you were cutting.
I've had this slicer for several years and love it. However I find the long handle a bit awkward and for the past get years have just held the square blades in my hand. Let me tell you that makes it so much easier and faster.
It would work better if you place the bottom on the plate for leverage..doing it In the air is definitely impractical 😊I'd give it a 7 out of 10, you've demonstrated much better ones
" I have no sponsors!! " Thats why you are trusted by so many,and why I will always trust your unbiased reviews!! Thank you for all you do!!
Just because you have sponsors doesn't mean you're being sponsored by these companies. Nothing wrong with a hello fresh or raid shadow legends sponsor
@@alexramos7708 The good old scripted BS sponsors. People that pretend to like these products and are told what to say.
That was so funny when he said that.😆
James is so honorable for not having any boring ads/sponsors. 😊
Everything for the viewer! Thats dedication
The best part is that you can trust that you're not watching an infomercial.
Are you both overly gay?

The unevenness is probably caused by how you are holding up the slicer instead of resting it vertically on a surface - as you push, the pressure is moving the grater hand away causing it to slice unevenly.
If you can't hold a food cutting product a certain way to make it work, then it's a bad product. Everyone is going to hold this differently.
Yep. Also... Put some muscle into it, Sally.
@@walkergillette3918 No he is actually really good.
Might work better if you lay the slicer over top of a bowl so you weren't fighting to hold the slicer still.
Theres a reason why there's a rubber peice on the end its to place down the slice vertically then slicing as intended and should be common sense
I have this exact slicer and I found the best way is to actually draw the tool across the food(especially cabbage) or with the slicer on top of a bowl and drawing the food across the tool perpendicularly. I didn't have great success with cheese. Thank you for the videos!!!
For cheese, it would probably work best with a hard cheese like say.....parmesan.
I think I'll stick with my mandolin and box grater. Ive never found "all in one" tools to be overly useful.
Hope everyone is taking care.
Same.
Same
A good quality mandolin makes your life easier. A cheap one will only make you crazy- a knife is much less frustrating.
Agreed
As the old saying goes: "Jack of all trades, master of none"
When you said "I wanna thank today's sponsor" I totally went for it for a second haha.
We need to remind him we appreciate it once in a while because most creators can’t resist the 💰 (and the strings attached)
I skipped ahead xD
@@Expo- This is the only review channel I watch. Not specifically due to lack of sponsors, but it's kinda part of the package-deal of what makes James excellent at what he does.
"it's a pretty fine grater, but I'll get into that later"
"I've seen much thicker slices from my other devices"
Damn, James got bars 🔥😂
That sponsor comment made me spit my drink out laughing!
Thank you so much for being one of a kind 😂 its so hard to find a youtuber that doesnt take sponsors 😊 love your videos
You couldn't have made it more difficult on yourself, from the way you're holding the slicer to the way you hold the vegetables.
He should have figured that out right away. That was a no brainer, to be honest.
A bit hard to demonstrate it but also make a quality video of using it I am guessing.
Yeah, why on earth is he not using it correctly by placing the stability thing on the table. He isn't even using the glove half the time.
I’ve had a mandolin (called a V-Slicer) I’ve had for more than 30-35 years - still s,ices, grates, etc. perfectly!
2:30 - Of course the results aren't grate. The grater comes later in the video.

That “ I don’t take sponsors” at 0:11 was the biggest flex I’ve seen in a review channel! You rock, James.
I bought a cheap mandolin slicer at Walmart and it works great. And it is wicked sharp!
Man, that No Sponsor really has great products 👍
The blades don't seem that great, but usually I would put a bowl right beneath it, a really big one so you can rest it on there.

My thoughts exactly
When you said I would like to thank todays sponsor I was literally like wtf? 😂
totally 😂😂😂 hilarious the same here .
Yep
there is a part at the end that you use to place on a table and it grips it. So its supported by the device and not your hand in the air
Not taking sponsors I’d exactly why I follow you! I only subscribe to a couple channels, and of those, this is the only one that I watch every video and have purchased a couple items based on your UNBIASED reviews. Kudos!
Its the way you are holding it. Place end on plate or counter top think you would find it works much better.
For a second when you said I want to thank today's sponsor, I thought huh what...I've been watching for years and haven't seen that, then caught on 😂😂 you know you should be asleep when your head thinks James has taken a sponsor. Also I was hiding behind my hand seeing how close your fingers were to that blade, damn. That's dangerous right there
He kinda sponsors himself as he does have a site where he sell things and he occasionally promotes it
@@doll9340 very true, but I mean like Hello Fresh, Nord VPN, *insert anymore overly used sponsorship companies*
8:20 I have that Chef’N grater - if you turn it over to the other side, you get a finer grate.
It is refreshing to hear that you don't take sponsors and it is pleasant to watch your videos without a sponsor ad. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽💯💯💯💯💯💯

That part definitely wasn't suitable for a proper julienne but I bet it would give James the size he wanted for shredding cheese.
@@ToniHinton That's what I thought. Looked more like a larger grater and not a julinenne cutter.
Hey, James! I applaud you for not taking sponsors. It seems like every UA-camr that does gets crap because the company ends up in some controversy or terrible scandal lmao 🤣

Everytime you put pressure down for a slice the hairs on my neck stood at end!
You should take sponsors! There’s plenty of non product sponsors out there for you to take and get that cabbage!
Something a heard a long time ago that still holds up, to this day (this slicer thing included)...
The more things a tool does, the less it does those things well.
Man hold it down and make vertical motions
I've got one of these, though I got no glove or brush. I found that holding down on the plate with the "bumper" worked best because it prevents the slicer from moving while you're trying to slice.
For sponsorship, you should thank yourself for buying all the cheap and reviewing it for us 😅😂

I still think it should be given a fair chance.
Cheers James.
4:18 - Nice inadvertent "Liar, Liar" reference! "I've had BETTER?!"
It looked ok but it depends on what you want. I live alone so I usually just use a knife and save the clean up.
Oh James, you are the grate-est! You show those veggies who's boss! Happy Monday 👍
One thing ill always love is james is a real one anyone can sponsor crap they don't believe in James trust his own fans and content
Outstanding work my friend!
I’m thinking NO on the Multi Slicer!
LOOOOL loved that sponsee gag. You are a real one!!
Yea i would push a little harder on the potato and have the "foot" on the plate or in a bowl to ancor it to , still not bad
The fact that it is made purely of metal make me want to buy it.
I haven't watched all recent videos atm but if you start off all your future videos with that input of the videos "not being sponsored" I think it would help to continue building your brand since your reviews are honest and fair.
Dude, you are soooo Murican! 😂😂 I just cant not luv ya! ❤😅 You must lay that damned slicer on a bowl or onto anything that you slice your shit into! 😅😂
Me duuuude 😂😂
Please never stop being one of the good ones. Don't sell yourselve to sponsors. I love you for it!
You know... they're probably counting the attachment with the three potato peelers on it as THREE, plus the other three attachments makes 6 in 1. lol
Meh...looks like it's more trouble than it's worth. Love your reviews,btw. Hugs for Bailey and the others :)
Thank you so much for this review! I almost bought one on Amazon a while back after seeing a Facebook video.
My nerves were on edge with this one. I am a victim of mandolin slicer chaos. If they offer a glove, send it back. When you cut the cheese without the glove, I kept thinking, "Well, there goes a finger!" Great review ... you need to be seen my Hollyweird to be the next Billy Mays.
I am too! I boxed that thing up and threw it away! 😂
Makes me want the old Salad Shooter 😂
Thanks, James. Just saved me money again. Not a bad product, I'm sure practice would help. Agreed way too thin. Referring to the "multi-slicer".
I know for the sake of the camera you want it upright, but you want to put the black part on the cutting board for stability.
We found one of these on a local market about 7 years ago and it always worked well.
I have a cheap one similar to this and the seam from where the attachments meet the base gets in the way of moving the vegetables. This one looks very good though.
5:26 perfect thickness for homemade potato chips though!
I bought one of these. Found that moving the slicer instead of the veggies worked better for some reason. Also,. sliced the knuckle of my index finger clean off while learning to use it
It's been sitting in my Amazon cart, waiting for your review. Thanks
Still want it in your kitchen after this?
As usual, grate review!! 🤣
This might be a good tool to use the Pan Buddy with. It might provide enough (wrist) support to allow you to move back and forth on that thing with quickness.
I have a vintage box style one it's much better. Safe storage and catches the food. Love it.
There's no chance that I would ever buy this, not ever. What I have to do this job is so old and does a great job.
Echoing @duriankia - if you balance the slicer on the plate or counter for support, I think it would work better. 😊
Lol damnit James! I thought something was different but I couldn't figure it out immediately, until you said, "This video is being sponsored by..." I thought this was maybe your first sponsor, because I've watched every video on this channel, and swore I've never seen a sponsor. You almost got me! Lol....why do other creators say they HAVE TO get sponsorships to make any money? Are they lying to me? Lol ❤
They created a slicer where a slicer wasn't needed.... Thanks for saving us money James!
"I don't take sponsors" subtle flex but im here for it😂
I love how thin the potatoes are. Now I just need an electric model where I put the potatoes in and it goes to town.
The editing in this one 😂 awkward meter and the fence sticker.
I love this sponsor-less channel!
That sponsor part gave me whiplash, I was worried for a second haha
Lets see how clumsy James can look.
I'm glad you reviewed this. I ordered one from an ad on Facebook about 3 years ago and I still haven't received it.
I am thinking of buying the Emeril Lagasse Dual Action Oven. It's a large oven that can be split into 2 working ovens. Please consider testing this brand of oven James before I invest 💰 $$$.
Thanks! I really enjoy your honest reviews!!
if I've seen 50 kitchens, maybe 5 wouldn't just lose all those extra parts immediately.
That thing looks like an accident waiting to happen.
It's a must-watch when Bill Burr was ranting on stage to a crowd in Philly. It was the most brutal thing I've seen from him.
Thank you for not taking sponsors. So many channels sell out to them.
Lie the grater across the top of a glass or metal bowl so you can push harder with things like potato.
Maybe if you held it over your head it would be more stable. Certainly resting the black rubber antislip base on the counter or plate wouldn't help.
Appreciate you sharing!
The awkward meter actually made me lol
OMG that sponsor bit got me, I was like WAIT a minute!? He doesn't do sponsors? lol
You’ll find a lot easier if you rest the bottom (black) end on the board/counter so that you’re not trying to hold it up while pushing it down.😅
I take no sponsors 100% respect you for that.
I know you never wanted to do sponsors, but if it ever comes the day that the videos arent generating enough revenue to make it worth making videos, rather than quitting, I am sure most of us would understand and be fine with you doing sponsors. We get it. 😁

todays sponsor nobody, never ever seen that anywhere else
Video starts
Me chanting: test the glove.
James starts cutting the carrot.
Me: not with your fingers ooh be careful.
What do you do when the blades get dull?
Sometimes you don’t need to reinvent the wheel. Or the slicer.
I bet the issues you were having with uniform cuts was due to the way you were holding the food you were cutting. Can tell by the placement of the food on the cutter when you were cutting.
I agree
Is that a cucumber? 😆 I think that's a Zucchini
New video! Oh yeah! Those things scare me. Get those sponsors out of here! 😂
the point of putting it on something is for leverage
Apparently, and I quote.. "The cucumber feels pretty good."
I've had this slicer for several years and love it.
However I find the long handle a bit awkward and for the past get years have just held the square blades in my hand. Let me tell you that makes it so much easier and faster.
Also the "julienne" blade is for thick cut cheese also. So you do have 2 sizes for cheese grating.
It would work better if you place the bottom on the plate for leverage..doing it In the air is definitely impractical 😊I'd give it a 7 out of 10, you've demonstrated much better ones
Wonder if you would have better luck if you held the veg stationery and moved the slicer across the surface.
