I was really impressed with how easy this made slicing cheese! the slices were pretty uniform. I used the large blocks of cheese and had to cut the block into 4 sticks first, but still saved a lot of time and energy. I noticed that is the stick of cheese was too long or wide the rounded edges smooshed the cheese, so you have to make sure to cut the pieces to fit within the widest part of the slicer. Still, its better than trying to cut with a knife. It felt sturdy and the wire seems to be tightly fitted. No wobble or loose wire. Sharp enough to cut through cheese with ease, but no danger to fingers. It came with 2 slicers, so Overall great value!
