It is sturdy, easy to use, and a great accessory to add to my kitchen for homemade bread. I don’t worry about cutting myself like with an electric slicer but I have the convenience of being able to get whatever uniform thickness of slices I prefer on my breads. It also is pretty to look at.

Great
Arrived quickly, well packaged, was a gift, he loves it!
As an avid Sourdough baker I was always looking for the perfect bread slice. One that is adjustable, has an 'arm' to hold each slice away from the turning handle and is not only functional but aesthetically pleasing to see in my kitchen. This Ritter Bread and Food slicer ticks all the boxes. Very well engineered, stays put when slicing. Perfect slices every time, easy to use and set up, easy to clean. I'm very pleased with my purchase and highly recommend this slicer to all bread bakers.

Love it!!
We are loving the food cutter!! It slices well and is really easy to use!! It’s a well made quality product!! I would definitely recommend!!
This is an incredible grinder at a really amazing price! I ordered it on Sunday and I got it delivered to my door in California on Wednesday from Stuttgart Germany. Truly amazing how quickly it arrived. Of course your mileage may vary. Any qualms I had initially about ordering from Loewen META are gone. I would definitely order from them again
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.
I bought the Zassenhaus Retro Hand Bread Slicer Classic a couple of years ago for myself, and I use it every single week. I absolutely love how effortless it is to get perfectly sliced bread for sandwiches, and it cuts through my crusty artisan breads that I bake with ease. I am so impressed with it (and love it), that I recently bought one for my niece for her birthday and she was very happy to receive it. I recently timed myself when slicing a double loaf of bread, and it was under 1 1/2 minutes from start to finish. The most difficult part of baking bread was slicing it, now, it’s effortless and it’s one of the best and regularly used small appliances I use. It sticks perfectly to our granite counter and easily comes off when putting it away (if I had the room, I would leave it on my counter, though). Highly recommend for yourself or as a gift to the bread baker you love.
Recently purchased a salt mill to complement a matching pepper mill previously purchased. Both look and work great, except for the top screw top for the pepper mill went missing.
I looked quite a bit online to find a quality banjo weather station and came upon the "Fischer Sheraton Weather Station, Thermometer, Barometer & Hygrometer 555 mm / 21.9", 4673 US Version".
I am very happy with my purchase - it's beautifully made and will make a great and useful addition to my home.

Our prior scoop developed pits. Since this item comes in contact with food, I wanted stainless steel and Loewen META appeared to be the best.
We received pur item and it’s exactly what we wanted—a high quality stainless steel ice cream scoop. Love it!

It's important to us that our products are safe and reliable for use with food. We appreciate your support and hope you continue to love your new scoop!

Thank you very much for your detailed and positive review on judge.me!
We are delighted to hear that the Ritter Ham & Slicing Knife for MANUS 3 and AMANO 5 met your expectations and made slicing bread, cheese, and other foods easier for you. It’s great to know that you appreciate its ease of cleaning and secure handling.
A quick note about the suction cups: Our manual slicers are equipped with high-quality suction cups that typically provide excellent stability on most surfaces, especially in kitchens. In very rare cases, if the surface is particularly rough or uneven, it can help to use an additional underlay for enhanced stability.
Thank you again for your feedback – we hope you continue to enjoy your purchase!
