I really love it. No more uneven slices of bread. They also fit better in the toaster. Just really does a good job.

This bread slicer serves the purpose for which it was purchased but has several drawbacks. My standard size breadknives do not fit readily across the unit to slice easily through the slots from side to side. Also the front panel has fallen out of its slots during use since it is not held in place very tightly. However it is a decent basic bread slicer for light use in the kitchen.

Not quite as happy with this product as I thought I would be. The main problem with it is that the end piece falls out all the time when you are trying to slice the bread. It is a really good idea, but a bit difficult to manipulate at times. Just not quite as sturdy as I thought it would be. I would not purchase another.

I titled this review such because there HAS to be something better out there! Are we not living in the 21st Century? I read numerous reviews on the seemingly few bread slicers out there because I wanted a quality product at a good price that was easy to use and would help me slice my precious bread machine loaves consistently. What I ended up getting (and what you will get if you order it): A box containing a wooden board with crumb catcher and three plastic pieces with some screws for you to assemble the product. The wooden part of the product is great and the crumb catcher is great but the plastic pieces that screw on are a bit flimsy and do not stay on tight so when you cut the bread (like other reviewers mentioned, get a *long* bread knife) it wobbles a bit and does not always make it easy to get even slices. The plastic end piece on mine says "Our Daily Bread" which is a bit cheesy. The end piece will not stay put either because the sides are a bit wobbly. I disagree with some of the reviewers who think the board itself is too wide. It is a little wider than a bread machine loaf but I think that is a good thing as you wouldn't want a slightly misshapen loaf to not fit inside the slicer at all or worse, risk putting your fingers through a loaf by trying to cram it between the slicer guides.
Still trying to make an informed decision? It *may* help you slice a bit more evenly, but maybe not. I find that sometimes I get a more even slice if I manage to hold the plastic sides just right. Will it save you time? Maybe. It all depends on if the plastic sides will stay on tight.
Bottom line: either have your kid design and make you one in wood shop class (or make one yourself) or just buy a cutting board with a crumb catcher and wing it on the slicing. The third option is to buy this product and put up with it (I guess that's where I'm at since I like the crumb catcher and my patience hasn't ebbed quite enough).
My question is: Why hasn't someone invented a counter top electric slicer that is more or less a scaled down version of the industrial sized slicers you sometimes see at bakeries or in stores overseas? Maybe someone is afraid they will be sued if their child drops their hamster into it (or worse)? We do have Cuisinarts with rotating metal blades... Please, someone hear us frustrated bread makers!!
