First off, let me just say—this bread slicer is a game-changer for anyone who bakes homemade bread. I used to dread slicing my sourdough because it always ended up lopsided or crumbly. But with this adjustable guide, I get uniform slices every single time.

The setup is ridiculously easy—just snap the pieces together, adjust the width (it has 6 settings!), and you're ready to go. The crumb tray is a lifesaver—no more messy countertops. Plus, I’ve repurposed it as a snack tray while binge-watching my favorite shows. Multitasking win!

One thing to note: You’ll need a good serrated knife (this doesn’t cut for you). My first few tries felt awkward when the knife tip caught in the grooves, but switching to a longer blade fixed that. And yes—cool your bread completely unless you want squished slices!

Sturdiness surprised me—it stays put during use thanks to the non-slip mat, though I avoid pushing too hard against the sides. When done, it collapses flat and tucks neatly into its box (or my drawer).

For $20-ish? Absolute steal compared to wonky hand-cut slices. It’s become my standard housewarming gift for fellow bakers—classy gray-and-white design earns bonus points.
