This is an adequate no-frills manual bread slicer, and adequate is the operative word. The crumb catcher eliminates messes, making this slicer a much cleaner option than slicing bread on a cutting board. Also, you can achieve uniform 1/2-inch slices; the only caveat is that you can't adjust the slicer to cut any thicker or thinner. Use your longest serrated knife when cutting, because a knife that just barely spans the width of the slicing tray will keep slipping out of the acrylic slicing guides. The guides have no top support and tend to wobble a bit as you slice. They also have inexplicably high sides; you'd have to use triple the leavening to make bread that reaches the top of them. Despite its design limitations, the Norpro deluxe bread slicer is easy to assemble and maintain and has an attractive overall look. --Carol Gnojewski

 Big disappointment March 27, 2001

I have to start with an explanation that an 8" bread knife has only 7 1/4" of a blade exposed, the other 3/4" is inside the handle and is not useful. With the 6 3/4" spacing between the acrylic guides on this slicer you have only half an inch of the knife left on the other side when the knife is pushed all the way in. The spacing is just too wide for a regular knife and it slips out of the acrylic guide on the opposite side each time I move the knife in order to slice the bread. In order to get back into the slit I have to guide the knife with my other hand which is, of course, rediculous and even dangerous. Because of this, even if I used my left hand to guide the knife into the slit, the slices come out very ugly. Second, the bottom of this slicer is made of soft unfinished (you can't wash it) wood and after 3 slices (that's all I could handle) the wood got deep cuts and splinters. Third, the back panel of this slicer on the Amazon picture has a word "Bread" written in a handsom writing. On my slicer it said in thick block ugly letters: "Our daily bread". That's it, I learned my lesson, back it goes.

Only two things could be adjusted for me to like this slicer better. 1 - the grooves could be deeper to keep from slicing into the wood. 2 - the guide could be adjustable. Other than that, it is a handy tool to use with baked bread. We use a bread machine that makes a pound and a half loaf. This has really removed the guess work of slicing. The bread should be cooled a little before attempting to slice. We often take bread to functions and using this we now have nice even slices. It is a lot neater using it rather than a plain board, too. All in all, a great kitchen aide.

A great idea for a product, but it is made of a [low] grade of unfinished pine, stapled together and bit too small for most loafs.

We like our Norpro bread slicer a lot. The wooden base was perfect for a bread slicer and the fit of the parts was excellent. I read the reviews that criticized strength of construction, and the strength is fine so long as the unit isn't abused. I liked the reasonable price since I wasnt' really prepared to put a whole lot of money into a bread slicer. We got a 10" bread knife,and we were really happy when it came in the mail and we got to try it out. I would recommend it to anyone who is smart enough to know how to take care of the things they buy and doesn't like to waste money.

I purchased this slicing guide to help make even slices for sandwiches. As others before me have noted the sides are too far apart to accomodate a bread knife safely. I've even looked for a longer bread knife but can't seem to find one. Even with taking great care the cheap soft unfinished wood has been gouged. The second time my husband used it the forward motion of the knife that had slipped out of the guide knocked off the side and now the screws for that side won't stay in the wood without changing the way the slots line up. I truly regret this purchase.
