Product Description
The Acrylic Bread Slicer makes it easy to cut your homemade breads into nice, even slices without getting crumbs all over the kitchen!

Amazon.com Review
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

Bread Slicer January 6, 2009
I use the bread slicer everyday. You have to be careful with it. I broke one of the plastic guides very easily. Wish they had a sturdier model.

Just what I was looking for... January 6, 2009
I am completely satisfied with this product. You get nice uniform pieces of bread. I also love the crumb catcher...less clean up :)

The best thing since unsliced bread! December 27, 2008
This product definitely increases my enjoyment of having a bread machine. When used properly, you get nice even slices that can be evenly toasted, or hearty sandwiches, or made into French toast.

This is a very simple tool but the craftsmanship is fine. You do need a long knife to make the best use; I have a 10 inch bread knife that I recommend.

The only way you can adjust the width of the slices is by moving the bread in the guide and even then, getting two slices a uniform width will take some talent. The set width is just fine for my needs.

Poor craftsmanship December 27, 2008
This bread slicer broke the second time I used it. The wooden frame is delicate and did not hold up to slicing with a serrated knife. The wood is unfinished (not sealed) and will likely harbor microorganisms. Definitely not worth the money. Amazon should be ashamed to sell this product.

Slicing the bread December 14, 2008
Works well - needs a really long knife to stay within guides. It is also helpful to allow bread to cool before attempting to slice.
