"Perfect slices!"
This is the perfect slicer for my homemade bread. Without this slicer my bread would be at a terrible slant! You just need a good, long bread knife and you're the rest is easy. I highly recommend this item.

"Norpro Bread Slicer w/ crumb catcger"
Makes slicing bread easy except for the end panel (with BREAD printed on it) very sloppy fit, needs a bit of modification

"it's ok, so so."
this accessory is better that cutting freehand with a knife but still a challenge to keep the slices uniform. I've been using an electric knife with my Norpro and it works ok. the wood base is soft wood so you need to be aware not to slice too deeply. would I buy this again? yes.

"Just OK"
The bread slicer seemed like a good idea but did not live up to its potential. As other reviewers experienced the plastic guide broke after I sliced 6 or 7 slices of bread. The plastic slice guides are way to flimsy. The 10 inch bread knife I ordered along with the bread slicer is great and you do need at least a 10 inch knife to use the bread slicer.

"decent guide"
i bought this in the attempt to get more even slices it does well but you need a long bread knife other wise u only get an inch or two of cutting space if you have a shorter knife like i do then you will end up pulling out of the guide on one side and if your not carefull you can snap the guides its just acrylic plastic which is brittle but is a sturdier plastic then say plexi glass
