Is the green part in the picture placstic as well? Why did you choose this one over the Paderno?

Green part is plastic.. The only metal part is the gray handle. We chose this over the other one because my brother-in-law works in a professional kitchen for a convention center where it gets a lot of abuse so it has a pretty good track record in that regards.

Yes it is.I have choose this one because I saw different blog tell that the blades are very good. But really I've never tried the Paderno one.

I have had over 20 years experience with this product and have never had a negative thing about it. I have never heard of one breaking and I have not used or heard of the Paderno product that does what the Benriner does. I have a Paderno truffle plain which is great but I would not choose any other turner slicer than Benriner.

The green part is indeed plastic but is very sturdy. I picked the Benriner because it is Japanese made for the Japanese market. They are very quality conscious and the Benriner shows it. I have been impressed with its sturdy construction and excellent performance. I believe it will hold up well under continuous use.

It is like a dark green, hunter green, pine green. I would say it is a good representation by the picture.

I recently shopped for a vacuum and before I purchased, called Panasonic. The manufacturers rep did a comparison of the two, and found no differences, other than the fact that the purple vacuum is this years Model, while the green vacuum is actually last years. I went for the savings and bought the green model. We love it. It's quiet and has great suction. Works great on carpet and tile floors!

I'm looking at the picture and comparing it to mine. I'd say the photo appears to be a more grayish shade of green than the actual color. It is a light green, but it's a grayish-green shade and a nice looking knife. I recommend it.

By the looks of the pictures, the green one (seen in orange in the pictures insert, looks like a transparent blade). I have the red one and the plastic is solid throughout. The red one works great for us.

The espresso finish is more black looking. The counter top is slightly green.

It's green and grey. We bought it as a gift for a friend. It assembles very easily and quickly. My only advice is to inflate the tires BEFORE you assemble it. Not a necessity but I would recommend it.

Mine is more grey than green. Very close to the online picture. Awesome knife!!

the one I got was a darker color - like the ones you see around or on tv, etc. I think it looked good. It is kind of shaded green, but it is still dark.

It's definitely more green. The color in the picture is pretty true to what you'd get.

I just bought it recently and love it. It's brown not grey. I see more green but my partner says its brown. Guess I'm a little color blind.

I have the Paderno and love it, other than carrots are a issue unless you can find very fat ones, like I found one time at HMart (oriental market). Rutabagas work well and they are my favorite new pasta, They have taste and texture.

The green is twice as powerful as the red one and therefore the keyboard is brighter. Only the green one comes with a carrying case. The green one is more pleasing to the eye when it is viewed for a long time. It is the newest one of the two.

I believe you will get a random color choice. Mine came in the green. It's nice tho.

I don't know about the green. I have a different color but mine is the same in person as it is on the site if that helps.

Pretty much. Shape is same but the one I received does not have as much green -- more gray coloring on panel. There is also a cover that closes over the controls.

I don't know because it "looks" identical. I ordered two different colors and both are so much fun for children and adults alike. I thought the green wasn't as fast as the blue but it could have been the driver (me) !!
