Adjustable Toast Slicer/Cutting Guide for Homemade Bread, Plastic Bread Slicer Loaf for Slicing Bread Foldable Kitchen Baking Tools (White)

You need to have this product to produce consistent slices of your homemade bread. Seems cheaply made but is made well enough to hold up for its intended purpose.Price was fair, shipping was quick and the item came well packaged.Thanks. AMR.

Too flimsy and, in my opinion, dangerous to use. It kept collapsing when I was trying to slice the bread. I was using a Cutco Bread Knife - not a cheap one. I can seriously see this thing collapsing and someone slicing their hand/fingers. It didn't cost much, not worth the hassle or returning it, so threw it in the garbage.

I should've spent a little extra money and got the stainless steel bread guide slicer. This one is cheap. Cheap in quality and comes off the track at the least little pressure. Knife is easily taken off the guides as there isn't much to guide the knife bc of the cheap plastic material. I fear one day the plastic guides will break while slicing the bread. Until I purchase a better bread slicing guide I think I will glue down the bottoms of the slicer so it will stay in place and not come off the tracks every time I slice the bread. Another disadvantage is that the slicer is too short. It should be longer or have an expandable part to accomodate longer loafs of bread.

I have not used this yet. It will definitely do the job but it is flimsy and the back plate doesn't securely lock into place, meaning, the side guides are going to move about a but when used. The quality is fine given the price. Rating four stars because it will work.

I returned this item. It wasn’t very sturdy. When you sliced your bread, the guides were flimsy, which made it difficult. Also, the sides don’t feel secure, when pressed in their slots. I was worried I would break one of the guides, if I pressed very hard, but it didn’t fit in the slot well anyway.I’ve had a bread cutting guide before, and it was much stronger and nicer than this. (It wasn’t a fancy one either!) I don’t think this guide would last very long.In addition, the description says “Adjustable…” Generally, adjustable guides have more than one width option for different types of bread, but this one only had one width, that I saw, so I’m not sure what it meant by “adjustable.” I didn’t have any instructions with mine, but the box doesn’t say “adjustable.”The only reason I gave it 2 stars is because it does have a nice, inexpensive (cheap 😉) price. It also becomes very compact, when taken apart for storage.As a possibility, you might glue the sides to the base, so they fit more securely, though the guides will still be flimsy. Therefore, carefully, slowly slice your bread, and it could work. However, there are better options available. 😉

Reviewing Adjustable Toast Slicer/ Cutting Guide for Homemade Bread, Plastic Bread Slicer Loaf...If you're a bread machine addict like I am but don't have the money to spend or don't want another hard-to-store piece of kitchen equipment, you may love this bread slicer as I do.Easy to assemble - 4 pieces snap or slide together. Easy-peasy. Its diminutive size makes it unusable for large loaves. For smaller to medium loaves you can cut the loaf in half & take it from there. For freshly baked, warm bread, use a serrated knife (carefully wipe the blade between slices). For cooled bread, I've found an electric knife works best.What I really like about this product is that it collapses easily & I can store it in a drawer. My kitchen was built in the 1920s so is small with limited storage space. It's a little flimsy so don't get too aggressive with it (but that also makes it easy to break down. Also, the price. Can't beat that with a stick! It's an easy-to-use/clean piece of bread-making equipment if you only need to cut small-ish loaves.

This is a total piece of junk. It's not worth the plas5ic it's made of and that's saying alot. Amazon please drop this item from your line. It really makes you look cheap and unreliable. I threw it in the trash 10 mins after it arrive. Not worth the trouble of sending it back.

This cannot be compared with rigid bamboo non-collapsible full-loaf slicing guards. Nor can its price.If you bake your own bread and want to slice as needed, and not the whole loaf all at once, this unit is excellent. Not only can you do the job quite well with it, but takes up little room in the cabinet whether you disassemble it each time or leave it assembled and those were my only criteria which is why I'm pointing out it's suitability for specifically that.I do use a bread machine, but only for the dough cycle because I strongly prefer traditional size and shape loaves without any paddle holes in the middle of them. (It's very little extra trouble and super worth it.)Operationally, this unit works very well with a serrated bread knife, sawing back and forth evenly and gently, letting the knife rather than pressure slice the bread. When you get to the bottom, tilt your knife blade downward and scrape rather than cut the final division. Also, the slat openings are big enough so that you should rest your knife blade against one side or the other throughout the whole slice. Doing that, I get perfectly even, straight slices with no waves in them. I do remove each slice, cutting them one at a time. But this gives me solid control with no shifting. As for needing three hands, I position my thumb over one slat, my forefinger over the bread loaf and the rest of my fingers over the opposite side slat, and just hold everything steady.I personally love this little unit and as long as you don't treat it roughly, it should hold up fine.Another tip, my bread keeps extremely fresh, unwrapped, in a "Lock & Lock" container which is pretty darned airtight. Way more fresh than in any plastic bag I ever tried including those you buy. It actually retains the smell of a freshly-baked loaf and does not seem to mold any faster either.
