(More customer reviews)I like this slicer for several reasons. It is easy to use, safe and creates slices that are even all the way to the bottom. The handle is a comfortable size and shape to grip and feels secure in your hand. The unit will accommodate a cheese block as wide as 3 1/4". The roller is adjustable allowing for three different slice thicknesses, from an 1/8" to 1/4". I found the adjuster a bit hard to turn so I've selected the size I like most and just leave it there most of the time.
There's a spring action built into the cutter that isn't evident when looking at it, but allows the blade to descend all the way to your cutting surface giving an even slice from top to bottom. I've only used the cutter on cheddar and block cheeses of similar firmness so can't speak to its performance on other types, but am very pleased with the slices on those I've tried. The blade is not sharp so might not be good on hard cheeses. The holes in the blade are good for letting each slice fall away rather than sticking to the cutter as happens with some types.
I don't like the spatula/plane type slicers with the slot in them because the slices are too thin to suit me and I can never get them even. I've tried the T shaped slicers with the wire, but get annoyed that I can't get all the way to the bottom of the block so after several slices I have a sort of tongue of cheese left at the base of the block. The cheese cutting boards with the wired lever can work until the wire breaks, but since I'm left handed, they aren't ideal for me.
I'm always trying the latest gadget for cheese slicing and have finally found one I really like. If, like me, you haven't been satisfied with traditional slicers, you may find this is the answer. It sure does a great and consistent job for me.
