I had a vintage Ritter manual slicer that was good for bread, but having a wood base and poor motion control, it wasn’t really easy to clean and needed a c-clamp hack to stay on my counter.
This one is a most excellent replacement. I am hopeless at cutting straight slices of bread; this goes that with ease. Easy to clean, easy to keep in place (wet the counter/suction cups for best performance). I’ve sliced rare roast beef, cheddar, and a lot of bread.
And unlike an electric one, I have control and am less likely to cause myself an injury.
Very happy with this purchase.
