Adjustable Toast Slicer/ Cutting Guide for Homemade Bread, Plastic Bread Slicer Loaf for Slicing Bread Foldable Kitchen Baking Tools (White)

This cannot be compared with rigid bamboo non-collapsible full-loaf slicing guards. Nor can its price.If you bake your own bread and want to slice as needed, and not the whole loaf all at once, this unit is excellent. Not only can you do the job quite well with it, but takes up little room in the cabinet whether you disassemble it each time or leave it assembled and those were my only criteria which is why I'm pointing out it's suitability for specifically that.I do use a bread machine, but only for the dough cycle because I strongly prefer traditional size and shape loaves without any paddle holes in the middle of them. (It's very little extra trouble and super worth it.)Operationally, this unit works very well with a serrated bread knife, sawing back and forth evenly and gently, letting the knife rather than pressure slice the bread. When you get to the bottom, tilt your knife blade downward and scrape rather than cut the final division. Also, the slat openings are big enough so that you should rest your knife blade against one side or the other throughout the whole slice. Doing that, I get perfectly even, straight slices with no waves in them. I do remove each slice, cutting them one at a time. But this gives me solid control with no shifting. As for needing three hands, I position my thumb over one slat, my forefinger over the bread loaf and the rest of my fingers over the opposite side slat, and just hold everything steady.I personally love this little unit and as long as you don't treat it roughly, it should hold up fine.Another tip, my bread keeps extremely fresh, unwrapped, in a "Lock & Lock" container which is pretty darned airtight. Way more fresh than in any plastic bag I ever tried including those you buy. It actually retains the smell of a freshly-baked loaf and does not seem to mold any faster either.

Very difficult to keep it together and cut the bread. It’s very flimsy and the edges don’t stay together. The slices would be perfect…. If it wasn’t so flimsy. But. You get what you pay for. The price is good! But, you really can’t use it.

I should've spent a little extra money and got the stainless steel bread guide slicer. This one is cheap. Cheap in quality and comes off the track at the least little pressure. Knife is easily taken off the guides as there isn't much to guide the knife bc of the cheap plastic material. I fear one day the plastic guides will break while slicing the bread. Until I purchase a better bread slicing guide I think I will glue down the bottoms of the slicer so it will stay in place and not come off the tracks every time I slice the bread. Another disadvantage is that the slicer is too short. It should be longer or have an expandable part to accomodate longer loafs of bread.

A little flemsy which is why I did 4 stars. But it definitely is better than me trying to free hand slice. Lays flat so easy to store. Gets the job done.

I returned this item. It wasn’t very sturdy. When you sliced your bread, the guides were flimsy, which made it difficult. Also, the sides don’t feel secure, when pressed in their slots. I was worried I would break one of the guides, if I pressed very hard, but it didn’t fit in the slot well anyway.I’ve had a bread cutting guide before, and it was much stronger and nicer than this. (It wasn’t a fancy one either!) I don’t think this guide would last very long.In addition, the description says “Adjustable…” Generally, adjustable guides have more than one width option for different types of bread, but this one only had one width, that I saw, so I’m not sure what it meant by “adjustable.” I didn’t have any instructions with mine, but the box doesn’t say “adjustable.”The only reason I gave it 2 stars is because it does have a nice, inexpensive (cheap 😉) price. It also becomes very compact, when taken apart for storage.As a possibility, you might glue the sides to the base, so they fit more securely, though the guides will still be flimsy. Therefore, carefully, slowly slice your bread, and it could work. However, there are better options available. 😉

The best finger saving device for slicing bread. Adjusts for slice thickness.

I make homemade bread and this slicer is just amazing. I also bought a proper bread knife and it makes all the difference in the world! You can take it apart for easy cleaning and easy flat storage. It is dishwasher safe and super easy to use. It barely weighs anything so you can also store in a drawer. I believe it only comes in white, but if it came in teal, I wouldn't object to buying another one.

It is okay for the money. Make sure your knife is sharp before using so you can let your knife do all the work.It will help you determine if you want to invest in a more expensive one
