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

Features:
  • Slicing rack measures 6-3/4 by 6-1/2 by 12-1/2 inches
  • Generous slicing surface accommodates any size loaf
  • Handsome hardwood crumb catcher steadies the unit and protects counters and tabletops
  • Acrylic slicing guides ensure uniform ½-inch slices
  • Easy cleanup; simply dump the crumbs the from crumb catcher

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Mistaken Purchase

That didn't really help and I ended up drilling a small hole and screwing it together in that corner.
It is so wide that an eight inch knife is not usable for the slicing process so it was necessary to purchase another knife so add on another $20 minimum (if you can find a ... Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Love this!!!!!
I love this! It is great for cutting homemade bread. Without it, my slices would be a disaster.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - End piece falls out
The end plate falls out constantly while trying to slice the bread.The distances between slots are too wide - the bread is too thick.I can do better by hand!!

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Norpro Bread Slicer
I returned this item. If there had been a better description i.e. length, width etc, I would not have ordered it.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Norpro Bread Slicer
It was exactly what I wanted.The only problem was it was a little bit
wider than my loaf of bread. Even though the bread knife was very long I am going to have to buy a longer bread knife so that it will stay in the cutting slots.
