Upgraded Bread Slicer for Homemade Bread with Bread Box, Adjustable Width Bread Cutting Guide, Compact Folding Cutting Guide with Crumb Tray, Suitable for Homemade Bread, Bagels, Cakes.

I used it for the second time this morning, on a freshly machine baked loaf of white bread, which the family prefers. Setup was quick and easy; the “owner’s manual” (a series of sketches) wasn’t needed. I like that it holds the entire loaf and allows slicing without moving it, unlike my previous slicing guide that can handle only one slice at a time, which must be removed before the next cut. I also like the relatively thin width of slices, again unlike my old one with adjustable width, but thin slices were hard to handle individually without damaging them. This guide makes thin slicing easy. Although I have a heavy bread knife and a light one, both in like new condition, I get cleaner cuts without tearing with my trusty old Black & Decker electric knife. This loaf was sliced cleanly and in the bag in under two minutes. One thing I try to remember to write in any review, if I had it to do over again knowing what I know now, would I still buy it? Absolutely!

I really wanted to like this bread slicer, but unfortunately it didn’t work well for my needs. I mostly bake sourdough bread, which has a thicker and harder crust, and this slicer struggles with that type of bread. I still need to use an electric knife to cut my sourdough, and I can’t use the knife safely with this slicer because the plastic gets damaged and the base moves while cutting. It may work better for softer breads, but for homemade sourdough, it wasn’t very practical for me. Decent idea, just not the right fit for my type of bread.

Parts were missing. Not in original package. Will be returning it. No star. Thought I was getting a new product. After returning the product the new one arrived new in box and the only inconvenience was having to drop off the bad one at the ups to return it.

I like that it's easy to put together, all the parts store in the box, and it seems sturdy. I wish the box allowed some airflow because condensation builds up inside the box. The slicing device is a little tricky to use. I find it's difficult to line up the tines for an even cut.

Love this product, makes evenly slices, perfect for toasting. Bread box keep bread fresh, room to store bread slicer parts also.
