I have a plastic body with steel blades mandoline and I love it. It has
removeable plates to change up to whatever I need. It also has a hand guard
so I don't end up slicing my fingers to shreds. I think it cost me about
$30.00 American, and it's dishwasher safe.

You can go to Chef's Choice on the web and they should be able to give you a
few alternatives. I personally prefer the plastic, but the stainless steel
don't absorb odors as much.
