Superb build qualityCuts any thickness you wish ( no preset cutting thickness)Looks a bit fiddly to clean, but I’m just going to use it for breadYou still need to careful with your fingers though

I am so delighted in this slicer. It's safe, easy to use and easy to clean.

I bought mine because I do a lot of bread-baking, and knife type slicers just aren't accurate enough. I've used several types of cutting guides, but the slices still weren't accurate.The Magimix does the job brilliantly. I let the bread cool as normal before slicing, and it gives me professional slices every time. The first slice is always difficult, simply because it's the crust, and I like a hard crust. After that, the slices are perfect, right down to the last crust, which doesn't have to bend around the exit part of the machine.As other reviewers have mentioned, cleaning is most definitely a chore. My way out of this is to use a redundant pastry brush to get into the area at the back of the blade, which is the hardest part to clean. This method works well, although I still remove the blade after about 5 operations.The slow-ish blade speed isn't a problem either, as it still cuts quite quickly. The safety lock and hand/finger guides are adequate, although it would be better to use a solenoid to trip the power rather than a mechanical interlock. Having stated that, the interlock does its job quite well.I think the best accolade that I can pay the slicer is that my Son-in-Law criticised me for buying it, but once he knew what it could do, he brings all his uncut bread here for me to slice for him!

This is well made and does a good job slicing my home baked bread. HOWEVER it is 150 Watts and not the 2600 watts quoted. In fact this power is fine for the task this machine is expected to do. This has been commented on many times and not corrected by Amazon. With this discrepancy in mind I decided to check the fuse in the plug and was annoyed (but not rally surprised from past experience) to find it had a 13 amp fuse. This is not adequate protection for a low powered device like this whose wiring should have the protection of a 3 amp fuse. Easy enough to change but it really should not be sold with this potentially dangerous fault.

So far sliced roast beef and bread. Easiest way to clean run bread through after slicing meats. Use a paint brush (i keep one in the kitchen for brushing crumbs/flour ect/) to clean cracks and crannys. Wipe surfaces and carriages with damp soapy cloth. Make sure depth set to 0 wipe surface of blade. If you slice warm or very juicy stuff might have to remove blade to clean it. Love it, nice and sharp cuts easily.

Firstly, it’s not silver - the one sent to me is a light greenish/grey colour. But hey, it spends most of its life in a cupboard so that’s not really an issue.As far as performance goes, it does what it’s designed to do, for home use. I use it for slicing meat mainly and it works well, with good adjustment’s available.But my biggest gripe is that it’s seriously time consuming to clean. Here’s a “for instance”. It took me about 3 minutes to slice a cold gammon joint and about 15 minutes to clean the slicer afterwards.The Carriage and the Food pusher are simple - they lift and slide off easily and can be washed in a bowl of soapy water. There’s a stainless steel collecting tray underneath which lifts off and can be washed okay, but it’s easily bent and I can’t for the life of me work out why it’s not just built into the machine. Being removable doesn’t seem to have any real benefit as if you allow the sliced food to sit on it, you have to pick it up by hand; I just put a tray underneath it and cut directly on to that which avoids handling the food.So far, so good (relatively).Then you get to cleaning the blade and the surrounding area, and that’s when things get time consuming.In order to remove the blade it has to be unscrewed from the spindle. The 2nd picture shows that to unlock (unscrew) the blade you have to turn it clockwise, which is rather counterintuitive and the indication is so indistinct but to be fair it is included in the operating instructions.To avoid any damage to the plastic screw, you need a very wide screwdriver (which nobody possesses) or a suitable coin; a 2p piece works perfectly. But why oh why didn’t they design it with a recessed moulded screw that you can turn by hand? My last slicer had one and that was made years ago. This is definitely a retrograde step.When you take the blade off, you see that on the back, that the plastic mounted driving cog is covered in grease, so if you haven’t bought a can of food grease (not supplied - see picture), you have to gently wipe the other side clean without cutting yourself, iso just dunking it into the bowl of soapy water with everything else.Then finally, cleaning around the blade housing and grooves. This is a real pain and I have to recommend a stiff plastic brush as bits of food get into every imaginable crack and recess, both around the blade housing and in the grooves around it. Again, if you wipe away any lubricating grease, that needs to be replaced.Putting it all together again is the reverse procedure. If you’ve washed all the grease off the back of the blade you need to spray that with food grease first, and then position and tighten up the screw; fiddly but not difficult. Then you replace the tray underneath, trying not to bend it and refit the food carriage. There’s a knack to that as well, as if you try and slide it straight on, it only goes on a short distance as there’s a catch on it. You have to position it centrally and insert it into the front groove first and then lower it into the groove by the blade, (found by trial and error and a lot of cursing!).I guess with more use (I’ve only done this 4 or 5 times) then cleaning might become more straightforward, but this isn’t an item that’s in daily use and for that reason I’m not that impressed with how tedious it is to clean.So overall, a good cutter, but cleaning is seriously time consuming.

I’ve had a Bosch slicer for 10 years and used it almost every day but it gave up the ghost and they don’t seem to produce them any more. This product is a perfect replacement. As soon as I took it out of the box I could see the quality of the build, nothing flimsy about this slicer. I have used it to cut bread, cheese and onions and it deals with them all effortlessly. It was very easy to dismantle and put together to clean. Worth every penny.

Very well constructed, slices through air dried ham with ease, good range of thickness to cut to and happy with my purchase 😀
