"...make the slices consistent and presentable. Although this gadget is cute, and after some trial and error, it does do the job, I cannot..." Read more
"...Excellent and I like the orange color!" Read more
Customers are mixed about the ease of cutting. Some mention that it's better for slicing blocks of cheese than some of the other slicers with wires, and it'll slice nice through small blocks of Colby/jack. They're satisfied with the slicer, and so far it' has held up well. Others say that the slices are not even when cut, it'd be better if it was sturdy, and that it doesn't cut cleanly.
"...But, it turned out to be great for slicing cheese, and to my great surprise has become my all-round "go to" knife for most cooking slicing chores..." Read more
"...It resulted in very thick and inconsistent slices. The blade is not actually a blade with a sharp edge so slicing was neither easy nor smooth...." Read more

Customers are mixed about the performance of the cheese slicer. Some mention it works really well, while others say it's barely useable and has problems.

"...Like all those kinda kitchen gadgets, when you first try it, it doesn't work for crap -- so you might toss it in the trash and write a nasty review...." Read more
"...I saw this on-line and thought I would try it. It works GREAT. You have to slice from the small end of the cheese block, but it does a terrific job...." Read more
"...It also doesn't cut evenly. It's barely useable and I've gone back to just using a knife." Read more
Customers are mixed about the sharpness of the product. Some mention that it cuts cheese smoothly with three different thickness settings, and provides an even thickness to each slice. However, others say that the blade is not at all sharp, hard to slice with, and not good for extra sharp cheddar.
"...My only criticism is that the blade is not at all sharp. I suppose having it even the least bit sharp would make it a little dangerous to use...." Read more
"...It cuts cheese. It has three different thickness settings and cuts pretty smoothly. I can't give it a higher rating for two reasons...." Read more
"Dull blade. Actually, it's not a blade at all. It's just a piece of metal. Why it's not made (sharp) like a knife to slice it is beyond me." Read more
"...Even when they are working it is difficult to slice hard cheese like sharp cheddar. I saw this on-line and thought I would try it. It works GREAT...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the sturdiness of the product. Some mention that it's much more durable than the wire type, and the handle is made of a sturdy hard plastic. However, others say that the material is flimsy, the plastic felt like it could break at any time they made a slice, and that the product is weak and cheaply made.
"...62; It works, but only with firm cheese (I.e., chilled moderately-aged cheddar)...." Read more
"...It's durable, kid-friendly, simple to use, easy to clean, and protects your fingers while giving you adjustable settings...." Read more

"Not very sturdy. You need too much pressure to even try to cut the cheese straight" Read more
Customers are mixed about the quality of the kitchen slicer. Some mention that it's good for the money spent, sturdy, and works great in softer cheeses. However, others say that it has lots of places where cheese gets stuck and can be hard to clean. It's awkward to use and can't get superthin.
"...I only give 4 stars because the end of the cheese sticks to the cutter and has to be pulled off after each slice...." Read more
"Principle is great. To thin a slice and not adjustable. Not good for extra sharp cheddar and that is what we like." Read more
"This stumbles on a few cheeses, like pepperoni cheese - nd you can't get superthin slices with it...." Read more
"...to press so hard to cut the cheese, it makes it more difficult to keep it against the cheese as needed to cut a perfectly straight slice. ......" Read more

> It works, but only with firm cheese (I.e., chilled moderately-aged cheddar). It does NOT work at all with moderately-soft cheese, like Munster or American, nor with hard cheese like Parmesan. It won't even work with a room-temperature mild to medium cheddar.
> It doesn't quite cut the last 1/16"-1/8" or so of each slice, so you've always got a ragged edge. The choice of slice thickness is very limited -- basically "thick" , "very thick", and "even thicker". The the Chef'n Slicester can only cut a block of cheese up to about 1 1/2" wide by 4" high. You can NOT cut a single large slice for a sandwich. Yeh, I know that it looks like it can cut a wider slice, but you can't force it through a wider block of firm cheese. A softer cheese will warp resulting in uneven slices (or just crumpled blobs) regardless of the size of the block of cheese.
> The major reason for many of these shortcomings is that it does NOT have a blade. That thing that looks like a blade is a 1/16" thick strip of stainless steel with a square edge-- not tapered or sharpened at all. I guess it is dull for "safety".
> Ironically, slicing 1 1/2" thick by 3-4" wide blocks of medium-firm cheddar for crackers (the one and ONLY task this slicer CAN do) is exactly what I want a slicer for -- but the Chef'n Slicester doesn't even do that well enough to be worth the effort of finding it in my "gadget drawer". My heavy (thick), sharp, chef's knife works well enough, with less hassle.
> ABOUT SLICING CHEESE WITH KNIVES: I've tried thinner-bladed knives, and oddly they don't work nearly as well for slicing cheese as do thick heavy knives. It may be that the freshly sliced surfaces of cheese curl away from the concave ("hollow ground") surface of a heavy chef's knife, and therefore don't stick as readily. It may be that a heavy chef's knife retains its temperature. I have noticed that if I wash off (and dry) the blade of a heavy knife that has gotten a little "gummy" slicing cheese, that the clean blade does cut much easier. TIP -- If you need to slice a soft cheese, place the cheese in your freezer for 5 minutes (or longer as necessary) -- that will make it firm enough to slice. The firmer the cheese, the easier it is to cut into thin slices.
> UPDATE -- I recently purchased an expensive Zwilling J.A. Henckels chef's knife --- which (although razor sharp) doesn't cut cheese worth a darn --- but that's apparently because it is NOT hollow ground (as is my cheap "grocery-store" chef's knife). A hollow-ground chef's knife is apparently the key for cutting cheese.
> UPDATED UPDATE -- about a year ago, I purchased a 10" by 2 1/2" high hollow-ground Mercer, which at first seem awkwardly huge almost a clever. But, it turned out to be great for slicing cheese, and to my great surprise has become my all-round "go to" knife for most cooking slicing chores (caveat, I also have smaller knives for specific slicing/dicing/mincing/peeling tasks).
> More on slicing cheese: To slice a hard cheese, let it warm up to room temperature, or even warmer, if necessary (may take an hour or longer). To slice soft cheeses, chill them in the freezer for a half-hour or longer (it's a good idea to also chill the knife, even though it will warm up quickly).

Auf dünnster Stufe habe ich noch keinen Käse schneiden können (Leerdammer Kräuter, Emmentaler)
Die Klinge ist Stumpf, dadurch können selbst die Kleinsten in der Familie damit arbeiten.
Vom Handling her sehr simpel und man bekommt gleichmäßige Scheiben.
Die Reinigung lässt sich auch gut vollziehen.
Hab ihn auch schon im Geschirrspüler mit drin gehabt was diesem anscheinend auch nicht schadet.
