At first glance, it seems pretty pricey for a bread slicer. However, it cuts beautiful slices of my sourdough bread quickly and evenly. SO much better than sawing with a knife- slices are equal and can be pretty thin if you want. Honestly a “must” purchase if you are in the long haul of making your own bread.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review for the Zassenhaus Retro Hand Bread Slicer CLASSIC. We're thrilled to hear that it has been a valuable addition to your bread-making process and has made slicing your sourdough bread much easier and more efficient. We understand that it may seem expensive at first, but we truly believe that the quality and results it provides make it a worthwhile investment. Happy slicing!
I got this grain mill to grind wheat for break making (1-2 loaves per week). But, it is too physically demanding and time consuming to make it practical for this purpose. I feel this was poorly advertised as I was led to believe this grain mill would be a good option. I was quite disappointed.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the MANUS 1 wasn’t the right fit for you.
The MANUS 1 is a classic hand-operated grain mill with around 80 revolutions per minute, producing approximately 30 g of fine flour per minute.
In comparison, an electric mill like the Schnitzer Vario runs at about 1,250 RPM – roughly 15 times faster in terms of rotation, but it produces only around 3–4 times more flour (approximately 110 g per minute).
This is because flour output does not increase proportionally with RPM – factors like feed rate, desired fineness, and mill design also play a major role.
If you need to grind larger quantities quickly and often, an electric mill is definitely the better choice.
However, the MANUS 1 is perfect for smaller batches, off-grid use, and for those who value a conscious, hands-on milling experience.
As of now, we have six five-star reviews, highlighting the MANUS 1’s quality, everyday usability, and versatility – whether for van life, chapati, or coarse grinding.
And of course: If the mill doesn’t suit your needs, you’re welcome to return it within 30 days.
Thank you again for your honest feedback – it helps others make informed decisions.
A great oats flaker. Very popular in our family of 6. It is used daily by all of us. One of my best investments. Our oats groats are flaked daily just before being required. I will recommend this product any time. Also thank you for a perfect and speedy delivery.
