I love this bread slicer. I've been making bread for three years and gone through two of those crumb catching bread boards. The suction cups don't stick to butcher block counters, but I've replaced two of them with angle brackets so the cutter hooks onto my counter, which was a simple fix and took all of two minutes. It's so much neater and easier than a breadknife and board.

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 way Few 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 …

This manual bread slicer is a beast—heavy and a bit bulky—but it’s built like a tank and works beautifully. The crank is smooth, and the slices come out perfectly even every time. I love that it has multiple thickness settings, so I can go from thin sandwich slices to thick artisan pieces. Definitely takes up some space, but if you bake or slice bread regularly, it’s worth every inch.

The Zassenhaus Original Classic Adjustable Bread Slicer works well and delivers consistent, even slices with adjustable thickness. However, at its price point—higher than many other models—it has a couple of noticeable design issues. First, the suction cups at the bottom don’t hold and the slicer tends to slip and slide, which is a safety concern when your hand is close to the blade. Real rubber feet would solve this problem and make it much safer. Second, the slicer lacks a guide to feed the bread forward, so the handle can catch on the loaf, slowing down the slicing process. Overall, the slicer performs well, but for a premium price, addressing the slipping issue and adding a bread guide would make it significantly safer and more user-friendly.

Slices fast because of blade sharpness, good adjustability, very heavy and sturdy, stays put during use. I definitely recommend!

We made this purchase with some trepidation because the unit is expensive and there are a number of negative reviews. When our unit came, it was clearly in new condition. The blade was securely mounted to the crank assembly, the unit was securely mounted to the wooden base, and all of suction cup feet were also in place. I cranked the handle to make sure that the blade was turning freely. BE CAREFUL OF THE BLADE -- IT IS EXTREMELY SHARP. The unit slices bread cleanly and evenly even when the bread is a little gummy. The suction cups adhere almost too well to a quartz countertop and we sometimes place the unit on a cutting board to avoid a difficult removal from the countertop. It is easy to adjust the thickness of the slice. The user is responsible to hold the loaf perpendicular to the blade. This is easy after the first slice. Cleanup is easy. Hold a sponge to one side of the blade, keeping your finger away from the blade edge, and crank. You will need to do this for both side of the blade. Learn from my mistake and DON'T remove the blade from the unit to clean! It does not help the cleaning, increases the risk that you will cut yourself, and increases the danger of you misaligning the blade when you reinstall it. You will also need to wipe down the rest of the unit. If a crumb lodges in blade groove, you can remove this by carefully passing a piece of paper towel (or perhaps a pipe cleaner) through the groove. This unit improved our quality of life a lot!

Great product and we have loved having perfectly sliced bread. but my only complaint it it has to suction cup to the counter. So you have to wipe off the suction cups and the counter everytime you want to use it. Then when you're done you have to pry it off the counter and I'm afraid one of these times the cups will rip.

Fungerade efter förväntan.

je cherchais une trancheuse pour le pain que je fais --> elle est top ! très bien pour les bloc de jambon et fromage . prévoir 4 patins antidérapant .

I have been waiting for a week for a resolution to a faulty handle in the classic Zassenhaus manual bread slicer but in vain there was neither an acknowledgement of the issue from the seller nor the company itself. I did not expect a company of such repute to be so tardy in their reply. I am very disappointed with the after sale service

Really nice for slicing sourdough. Pretty expensive though!

Echt zijn geld waard.
