"Noisy and Dull Blades"
Nice design, but quite noisy and blades are not very sharp. Bad combination. Reasonable price but quite disappointed.

"Oster 2803 Electric Knife"
I bought one of these for our daughter to carve the corned beef briskets last year when we were in Kansas City to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with our grown children. It worked so much better than the one we currently had. It's action operated smoothly and the way the blades and handle align it made it much easier to use.

We actually bought two - one for ourselves and the other for a friend that smokes a lot of meats and complained about her old electric knife.

She likes the new one as well as we do.

"Pro: Compact. Con: Not as good as some others"
I bought Oster electric knife after using a bulky Toastmaster electric knife with top handle at my mother-in-law's (not sure about exact model, but it looks similar to the Toastmaster Electric Carving Knife 6110).

I had good experience using the Toastmaster and I liked the compactness of the Oster knife. I also liked that Oster came with a storage case (the bonus fork was not a deciding factor for me. As a matter of fact, I wish it was not included, so that the storage box could be smaller).

The Toastmaster performed great cutting London Broil into nice uniform slices; I expected the same from Oster, but it did not perform as well. Due to it compact handle and lighter weight Oster knife was harder to keep straight and it required more pressure than the Toastmaster.

Oster has nice looks and it is NOT a bad product, but, compared to the Toastmaster knife I used, the performance was not as good.

"bargain!"
Well worht the $. Cuts nicely and has the added bonus features of the case and fork! Terrific bargain!

"Too Dull for Bread"
I have used electric knives of various models to cut homemade bread for years, with great success. This is the worst knife I have ever tried. It vibrates so badly that my hand is sore after only a couple minutes of use. It is also far too dull to cut well (a safety feature??). I would recommend looking elsewhere for a good knife.
