If you make sourdough or other crusty bread get one of these if you can afford it. Like any other top quality single purpose tools you buy, you will only cry once.Get the version that has the little guide to hold the bread slice from falling to the right as you cut it and getting in the way of the crank handle. It’s a bit more expensive but worth avoiding the irritation of flicking each slice of bread out of the wayFew people would say they really need one of these slicers, but it just works so well; it cuts perfect slices effortlessly even through the crustiest loaf.Any bread is easier to slice when it’s a day or two old but with this device you can slice it while it’s still warm from the oven. If the crumb of your bread is slightly gummy (perhaps because you are slicing it warm from the oven) a sticky residue may adhere to the blade but the blade detaches easily for washing.Leave the bread for a day or two if you want to avoid the stickiness. Of course you will also avoid the sumptuousness of butter melting into the still warm crumb of that first crusty slice.It anchors well to a smooth countertop - almost too well.While you can adjust the thickness, once you have found your preferred thickness you likely won’t change it.It takes up space but if you make two loaves at a time and slice them both at the same time you can keep it in a cupboard or drawer and bring it out when you need it. The folding left side of the base helps a bit with storage space constraints.If you have enough counter space leave it out and cut slices as you need them.Crumbs will chip off the crust as you slice. When you’re done tilt the slicer away from you and open the small detachable tray underneath. Brush the crumbs off and sweep them with your hand into a bag of breadcrumbs you might want to keep in your freezer.No more bread knives skating off the brittle crust on to my thumb. No more cutting grooves in my cutting boards as I saw my way through the bottom crust of each slice. No more squashing my loaf as I try to get the knife to cut through the top crust. Ok you could make non crusty bread but then what’s the point …

I have been using this slicer for several months now and I love it. I make bread 2-3 times/wk and I have beautiful slices, perfect for toasting or sandwiches. Yes, I do have the problem with the suction cups not always sticking, but I have found that they work if I put the slicer on my glass top stove (make sure the top is clean). Also, I have the best success with slicing bread if the loaf has completely cooled. It is easy to clean—just tap the crumbs off and then wipe it clean with a damp towel. Do not immerse in water and don’t take it apart. This was a splurge but it has been worth every penny.

Best I could find. I really am glad I have it. This cuts even slices and you can vary the thickness easily without changing the position of the bread. Even though I don't bake bread too often it was just worth the money to me to get some good slices especially when family joined me for a meal.I tried two other less expensive items and could not get even slices consistently. The guides bent depending on pressure.Some problems are: can't slice a tall loaf the handle is too low, no way of pushing bread to protect fingers when keeping the bread moving in line on top and bottom, flare at back pushes bread away which causes tearing, It isn't for cutting meat since the base is wood and blade is not easily removed.

I’m lousy at slicing my bread, even with a great bread knife. My husband is willing to go 100% FMF sourdough but only if he has even slices for his sandwiches. So after a ton of research, I landed on this bread slicer. Perfect slices and easy to use. This one has a guide so the handle doesn’t smash the bread.
