Worth every penny!,
November 2, 2009
By TheFrenchFryGuy
from New England
"I've been making french fries at parties for years, but I always relied on the smaller plastic cutters, until the last one blew out. Then I starting cutting them by hand. Ugh. Then some plans came along for a four day/night party at a famously rowdy bluegrass festival and I knew it was time to get serious. Armed with this awesome cutter, sixty pounds of spuds, sea salt and a hundred-plus Chinese food containers, I had a lot of fun and made a lot of friends that weekend. "Free fries, small or large order? Small? Okay, here... dump some out". I also got many inquiries as to where the cutter came from and would be very surprised if I'm the only "Fry Guy" at the next shindig. I did not mount mine on anything for that weekend, but have since made a cutting board that it attaches to very simply and works like a charm. For anyone serious about production fries, I also suggest a good turkey fryer base with a shallow pan/frying strainer. Buy one of these cutters and you'll never have to worry about what to bring to the next pot luck picnic!"

Not So Sweet Potatoes,
November 2, 2009
By OffRhoden
from Lake Guntersville, AL
"I hadn't realized how much more dense/tough a raw sweet potato is than a regular baking potato until I tried one through this. It certainly revealed some of the design flaws.
The blade grid is only secured on 3 of the 4 corners. The top pushes away under heavy loads, and a sweet potato is a heavy load for this slicer. This contributes to the pusher and blades coming out of alignment too easily. This model does NOT make it easy to adjust alignment.
The mounting screws are difficult to reach. They could have improved things by using a more substantial head on the screws they use. I'm considering replacing mine with hex heads instead of their rounded off Philips (+) head.
It is easy to clean. Has good leverage.
I'm a little disappointed in the overall care and quality. For example, the unit has 4 'feet'/ mounting holes. On a flat surface I would expect these feet to line up. Instead, the unit totters like a cheap blue school chair. Also, the unit has way too much metal-on-metal resistance from the factory. A little non-stick cooking spray solved this for me, but still?"

By McMuffin
from Lansing, MI
"When I used the product for the first time I was very satisfied with it. I've used it many times for parties and tailgates. Many people are always asking where I bought the item so they can purchase one as well. The item is very easy to clean and use. I've shopped around and this is one of the better prices for this item."

Northern Industrial Tools Deluxe French Fry Cutter,
October 19, 2009
By Anonymous
from Houston, TX
"Most french fry cutters break after several weeks or months - this one will last a long, long time. It is totally sturdy and would even work for a small commercial/industrial type kitchen. Fries aren't the healthiest food in the world -but, boy do they taste great and home-made fries are SO much better than fast-food or restaurant ones. The cutter makes really consistent cuts and stay sharp for a long time. For the money, this is a fantastic product an I highly recommend it."

french fry cutter,
October 19, 2009
By fourstar127
from Eastern Utah
"I liked this so much we bought another one for our second house. It's hard to get a good french fry cutter that lasts very long and doesn't break after a few cuts. This one can handle pretty good sized potatoes. I don't think it's quite up to commercial quality, but for the price, it's a good home unit."

Great, Study Cutter,
March 24, 2009
By Dan48
from Chicago
"We like to make our own french fries so we can bake them(healthier), so we wanted a good cutter. We were totally pleased with this cutter. It is sturdy, not like the others we looked at with alot of plastic parts and cheap metal. We used it with ease and the clean up was not hard. A full size Idaho potato will easily fit in this cutter. The cutting blade is strong also. We were very glad we didn't settle for a cheaper cutter because this one is fantastic. It came with two cutter blades so that was also a bonus. The shipping time was fast as well. Would recommend this french fry cutter to anyone wanting to purchase one."

deluxe french fry cutter,
February 20, 2009
By roughneck85
from louisiana
"I bought this item about six months ago, and so far it has held up to the punishment that I put it through. It comes in handy when preparing for a large group or just a small meal for yourself. The only thing that I found with the cutter is that I had to mount it on a cutting board for better support. In all this is a great product for the price."

Cutter,
February 10, 2009
By PulpFiction
from Arkansas
"I purchased five of these for myself and friends when they were on sale. It is not as well constructed as the ones for $100+ but for the price they are excellent. I wish replacement blades were available-the professional quality blades won't fit. For the money they can't be beat."

Deluxe French Fry Cutter,
November 18, 2008
By cc55
from Upper Falls, Maryland
"I use to cut French Fries with a Kitchen Knife, but it was time consuming cutting 7 or more nice size potatoes. Now with the Deluxe French Fry Cutter, I can cut 7 Potatoes in the same time it took to slice 1 Potatoe with a knife. It's easy to use and easy to clean. Every Potatoe is sliced the same size, so they cook even too.. Great Product for a small price...."

Must have for big cook outs.,
November 18, 2008
By ki4syk
from North Carolina
"Over the years I have tried several different fry cutters that just did not hold up under repeated use. It is the bomb for making lots of fries when you have a big hungry crowd to feed. We have a ham radio group here that love to eat and we have cook outs often. This cutter can keep two cookers busy with time to spare. Any thing from sweet potato fries to irish taters it does a great job and is built solid to get the job done when others I tried failed. If you have not tried sweet potato fries get this cutter and give them a try. Best buy for cooking have found in a long time.
Keep up the good products Northern Tool! Thanks!"

Nice commecial slicer,
September 12, 2008
By Xolo
from Calgary, AB
"I bought this to ease the slicing of potatoes for french fries. I can't stand what you get at the supermarket anymore.
It works great. One potatoe at a time. Usually only need 4 or 5 for a whole meal's worth.
I would have liked to see a better way of mounting it though. Not everyone has room to keep it permanently mounted in their kitchen."

"We used this product all summer for our parties and camp outs. So fast, easy and durable. This was a big hit for our friends and they all wanted to know where to get it. The brand they sell at the big box stores does not compare to the quality you get with this slicer."

Broke after a year,
August 9, 2008
By Welovefries
from Bountiful Utah
"This was a great cutter. It required some effort to push potatoes through but did a better job than others we have had. Mounting it on a wall may have helped but we really didn't want it hanging on the kitcchen wall. After about a year my wife was cutting potatoes with it and the frame came apart. There was no way even for a handyman to fix it. It is now in the garbage. The cast metal just didn't seem to hold up over time. Now we are looking for another one and not sure if we want to invest in this one again."

Super Fries,
April 21, 2008
By wepickemupeelem
from Plymouth,wi
"This product is awsome you get fresh cut fries in seconds. It works best if you mount it to a stud on your wall better leverage for cutting big potatoes. Also try to use bigger no# 1 or # 2 style spuds small spuds tend to want to turn sideways. Unless you press the handle really fast you will get broken fries w/ small spuds.The faster you press the handle the easier it whips through your potatoes. Fast and easy cleanup also great product the only reason i did not give it 5 stars was because it is awkward to use as a table top model. You need to have it mounted to something solid for it to work correctly."

Northern Industrial Tools Deluxe French Fry Cutter,
April 21, 2008
By Granite7
from Powder Springs, GA
"The French Fry Cutter is well made and heavy, and works best if mounted to a table top, but while doing so increases stability, it also makes it difficult to get a bowl under the end to catch the newly cut fries. (A vertical mount or on the end of a table would remedy this). While the product is fine for white potatoes, the blades are NOT strong enough for my favorite, sweet potatoe fries. Another possible problem encountered was the alighnment of the blades with the "pushers". The blades cut many of the edges of the plastic push-piece. I like me fry cutter and use it frequently."

"This product is great for those who love homeade french fries. It's industrial strength and size justify the price. It will stand up to the rigors of potato after potato and still look and cut like brand new."
