Oy vay…
You all know where this is leading me, right?
We’ve been very happy with Pampered Chef:
It’s best feature is also its biggest downside: The blades lie flat with the sliding surface, and only pop up when the food holder is passed over them. This means it’s functionally impossible to cut yourself. However, it also limits the size of things you can chop - you couldn’t slice a large potato or zucchini lengthwise. That’s not much of an issue for me. Also has 4 interchangeable blades, but we really only use 2 of them.
Benriner here as well, but my mandolin is a woefully-underplayed Eastman A-style.
I have one made by Moha of Switzerland, very simple, has some short legs on one end. I don’t think they make my model any more, it’s more complicated. I would just get the simplest, cheapest one you think would do the job for you. I actually have a spare of another brand that I never use, yours if you want it.
I have a Kitchenaid:

and a Benriner
I use the Kitchenaid all the time for slicing except when it is dirty and I use the Benriner. The only advantage to the Benriner, which is the one thing I do not like about the Kitchenaid, is that it can make very fine hair thin strands with the thin julienne blade. The kitchenaid has two julienne blades buy they are more like very thin fries, not angel hair.
I’ve been very happy with the Benriner for the last 15 or more years.
Check the restaurant supply stores, the ones they sell are usually all stainless.
Thank you both 
a '20’s Lloyd Loar?? Hahaha…

Strummin’ and slicin’…

You’re driving to Home Depot to hire some guys to cut your vegetables?
I have this one and love it (OXO Good Grips Mandoline Slicer). Being able to sharpen the blade is a plus.
No goofball.
I’m going to hire a sous chef.
Duh.
A mandolin (Italian: mandolino pronounced [mandoˈliːno]; literally “small mandola”) is a musical instrument in the lute family and is usually plucked with a plectrum or “pick”. It commonly has four courses of doubled metal strings tuned in unison (8 strings), although five (10 strings) and six (12 strings) course versions also exist. The courses are normally tuned in a succession of perfect fifths. It is the soprano member of a family that includes the mandola, octave mandolin, mandocello and mandobass.
Here’s my favortie:
Now I personally would not use my Mandolin to shred vegetables and cheese but I would expect it to break down if you did. 
Steel strings right??
