"I like it - solid, adjustable, easy to clean."
Seems really solid and easy to clean. The round roller pops out very easily to adjust for three different thicknesses - or you could leave it off for thicker, free form cuts. It is held in place by two posts that fit in a set of three different thickness holes on the handle. One post on the roller is spring loaded, so you just slide the roller sideways and it comes right out (like the bar that is used to connect a watch band to a watch). It comes with an extra wire also.

This is so much better than my last one. The old one had a set screw that was supposed to allowed you to move the roller to change thickness. It was not graduated, so finding a match for a previous slice size, was only with much experimentation and luck. The screw was hard to turn, and eventually impossible without pliers and it didn't hold the roller parallel to the wire, you had to force it back and forth to get it even. The roller could get gunked up at the connection posts - and there was a space between the roller holder and handle that couldn't be washed without disassembly.

The Trudeau solves all of those problems in an elegant and simple way.

"The most durable and functional cheese slicer we've found"
Our household is hard on cheese slicers. The Trudeau is the best one we've found -- it is truly adjustable (choice of three settings). Of course, the slicing wire eventually breaks, but it comes with a replacement. Unfortunately, the replacement doesn't include new screws, and when it broke one of the screws went missing.
Grrrr. But we bought another Trudeau...it lasted about five times longer than the closet rival brand.

"Worked great but wires broke, trying out warranty"
This is the best hand-held slicer I've had. Its weight, size, design and sturdiness makes it easy to use. I bought this because it has a 5-yr warranty and I was tired of buying new cheese slicers all the time because of wires breaking. The first wire broke about 3 months after purchase. The replacement wire lasted 6 months. The replacement wire is hard to get in but once I got a pair of needle-nose pliers to help get the 2nd side in...no problem.

I just made an online claim and as long as they honor the claim and send me a replacement slicer or wires I'll be happy.

"Better than the rest."
Well, I'm back for a second slicer after my two wires did break. Too bad I didn't keep the first broken wire as the one person said they have a 5 year replacement warranty... I have had many slicers that all break, I like this one the best so far mostly because of the replacement wire (even though it can be very tricky to get in). I've realized that I will replace slicers at least every other month (with eating about 2 1/2 lbs of cheddar cheese a week). We have kids and I don't want them using the sharp knives so, I'm buying another. I've had Kitchen Aid and other nice ones, but I'll stick with this kind, it's been 10 months since I bought it, which lasted much longer than any other. This time I'll keep the reciept, and the parts for when it breakes and maybe get a free third one.

"Not good for left-handed users"
I can't figure out why it would make a difference which hand is used with this product, but so far, when I've tried to use it (with my left hand), the roller immediately falls off. This happened three times in a row. I was attempting to cut a nice smooth block of cheddar cheese. When my girlfriend tried it (she's right-handed) it worked fine and the roller didn't fall off. I would return it, but it's not worth the bother, and I already threw away the package. Anyway, I'm able to use it without the roller attached at all (just with the wire), though I don't have as much control over the thickness of the slices. I guess I'll try again in the future with a different piece of cheese, but I'm not optimistic!
