Manual Bread Slicer with Hand Crank- Adjustable Thickness Bread Cutter for Even Slices, Perfect for Homemade Sourdough, Sandwich, and More, Red

As a Vine Reviewer it takes a lot for me to review items I have to actually pay for, but this one was worth it. I tried the slotted ones and a bow knife and those work. but none offer the consistency so far as this one. I was very skeptical about it being a non-name brand and have never owned the name brand to compare that one, but this one has been great so far. I liked that this one had a bread slicer catcher/guide to keep it form running into my hand and was cheaper. The only two things I don't love - first the suction is great, too great. It doesnt move at all, but when its time to put away you feel like you're about to break it or hurt yourself. I've learned to only stick two of the 4 suctions to my counter top but I wish there was like a knob to lock and unlock it to the counter. Second, and this is the greatest missed opportunity....some sort of markings to be able to repeat cuts. Like if there were 5 lines almost like a toaster, you could know that you like your sandwich bread at a level 2 and your french toast level 4 or something like that. Without doing anything, you will just have to estimate if you close the gap to store like I do. My work around for this has been to take a permanent sharpie pen and draw my own lines. Game changer! One day I might even take the time to create a nice sticker or something, but for now the hand drawn line is working.

After years of trying to cut reasonably uniform slices of my weekly sourdough loaves without much success with bread knives and bow saws, I finally broke down and bought this machine. The first time out of the box it worked amazingly well, effortlessly sawing off perfect, uniform slices of bread set to the thickness that I chose, just like the photo in the ad shows. Apart from a few breadcrumbs to knock off and wipe up when you're done, there is no mess to clean up. It comes with two wrenches for keeping screw and bolt tensions correct on the base and the sliding thickness plate. The circular blade is fastened with a Phillips head screw. Simple and effective.Aiding in its flawless bread slicing are its four suction cups at its base. Their suction power is incredible to the point of being difficult to break free when you’re finished. I slipped a dull butter knife under them to pry them from our countertop. Needless to say, the machine did not move an iota during operation.The machine’s design and functioning are excellent, and its overall build quality is good and sufficient to its purpose. The wood and paint are attractively finished. A word of caution: the last slice of bread gets your guiding hand very close to the sharp blade. I’m going to use a cut-proof kitchen glove from now on.My wife took a short video of me making a perfect slice the first time, but for some reason it would not upload. Too bad!

This product is far better than just 5 stars. It's 10 stars and more. I would have given it 4 stars because there are no replacement blades available to purchase. But it works so well that I could not just give it 4 stars ( replacement blade or not). Made homemade sourdough rye bread and it sliced through it like butter. All slices were even thickness and minimal mess. Really like this slicer. Goodbye old bread knives. I will say that it is a little over priced for me but sometimes you just have to take a chance and pay extra for a great product.

Home bakers will love this! Perfect uniform slices, adjust for different thickness, easy and even fun to use, no more uneven difficult and tiring slices with a knife. After a little practice, you can do a whole loaf in under a minute. Bravo!

I love this bread slicer with the metal bread guide... It slices our crusty, cast iron baked, sourdough bread like, lol, butter! It stays put on our ceramic counter with the four suction cups. It was easy to configure the size of the slice and lock the blade in place. The best part is the addition of the metal bread guide that is different from most others that look like this slicer, it keeps the bread from getting caught up in the manual handle. We were using a high-end serrated bread knife before, and it was hard to start and finish each slice and cut the slice even. I would highly recommend this brand. We purchased this, and our review is from actual daily use.

The media could not be loaded. Cuts great but suctions on bottom has screws and those screws scratched my butcher block counter. If those screws hadn’t don’t that I would give a 5stars .

So far, it cuts my both fresh and not so fresh sourdough loaves very nice. It does smash down my loaf and the slice as I'm cutting, but both spring back up.But I have a few issues:I have owned this for less than 2 weeks and the dial that adjusts the slice thickness already has loosened, causing my bread slices to be huge. This means I need to find a perfect size wrench and tighten the bolt under the base. I was not expecting this to happen so early. If my use of the slicer caused that, then I'm suspecting this happens after slicing every two to three loaves. And that is cumbersome to deal with.I also wish there was a guard of some sort over the blade on the top where it is currently exposed. I leave the entire slicer covered with a towel on the counter so that my little ones don't slice their little fingers reaching over it for something.Also, the suction is for real! Super great suction that keeps the board from moving when using, but the suction cups are almost entirely covered by the base of the slicer, so it's difficult to get a finger under there to loosen the suction in order to move the whole thing. So I need to figure out a workaround. My husband has to pull out a butter knife to break the seal of the suction cups in order to move it.Overall, I would not recommend this exact bread slicer without sharing my issues with it. It'll do (as long as I can tighten the dial! If I cannot tighten it, then it is essentially useless for me. But I haven't looked for my wrench set just yet).
