A Great cheese cutter! I buy cheese in 5 pound loaves, then cut them up and vacuum seal them. Usually I’m buying 5 year and 10 year cheddar, which is prone to crumbling. With this cheese slicer I have had great luck with cutting fragile cheese and keeping it in chunks for sealing. Very happy with the purchase! Read more

I started buying the big 2lb bricks of cheese from Sam's & wanted something other than a hand-held slicer since I can't cut straight to save my life. I've used this several times now & these are my impressions thus far: 1. First of all, the wood is REALLY pretty & would be nice if left out during a party / gathering. 2. I'm very glad I watched the manufacturer video on how to gently pull the arm out so the blade aligns with the cutting groove. I actually find myself adjusting the arm periodically so the blade doesn't hit the wood. Not a big deal, just something to note so the blade doesn't snap. 3. I've used this to cut sharp cheddar and colby/jack & the slicer worked well in both. I'm amazed at how paper-thin I can get the cheddar! No way I could do that with a hand-held slicer! Can't wait to try it on softer cheeses too. 4. The little rubber feet on the bottom really help keep the slicer from sliding around. This is crucial, not only from a safety standpoint, but also allows the cuts to be straight & uniform. 5. Cleanning the slicer is generally easy. I just carefully wipe my sponge across the blade and cutting board. Only thing I don't like is trying to clean the cutting groove. Even a cotton swab was too big - so still experimenting on the best method to clean it. 6. To ensure the blade doesn't get pushed up /exposed while storing in the cupboard, I simply placed a big rubberband around the whole arm/cutting board. Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase & hope this slicer lasts for years to come. As an added note, I got this slicer from the Amazon Warehouse for half the normal cost & it it has a small scuff mark on the top. Thought I'd mention since I almost passed this cutter by! Always worth checking out those discounted deals... Hope reading this review helps someone make an informed purchase decision. Please give a click if I've been helpful. Read more

I really like this cheese slicer. I had no problems with a broken wire and adjusting the wire so it lines up with the slot in the board is extremely easy. In the event that the wire does break, there is a label on the bottom with instructions for obtaining a new one (which costs a dollar). This is a nice place to put it since who keeps (or can find) the instruction sheets for all your kitchen gadgets when you need them? For me the biggest decision was choosing between a hand held wire-type cheese slicer, cheese knives, or a block-mounted wire slicer (like this one). I've tried the first two and had these complaints: - Hand held wire slicer: does not slice straight. I could never get a nice even cut. - Cheese knives: do not work well with soft cheeses (like Brie). The knife has so much surface area, the soft cheeses stick to it and get squished as you slice, and are a pain to pull each piece off the knife before you can cut another slice. As for a board-mounted wire slicer: I've been very satisfied with this (it is my first). I find it cuts through all types of cheeses very well. I just recently cut a bunch of Italian Fatina cheese too thick so I held each 1/4 inch piece under the wire and was able to slice them in half with ease. I would definitely recommend a board-mounted wire cheese cutter... the only question is whether or not you want one like this that can hold crackers. Otherwise, choose a style with a smaller footprint. Read more
