I do not use often but love it for when I use it. This is the second one. When first had a problem, I ran out and bought my second Cuisinart. I love using it for cutting a pineapple. Makes a tuff job almost easy.
I have only used it once and that was to slice baked bread. I can not cut even slices of anything with normal knives. But with this knife I cut even slices!! So easy to use and to change the blades.
For years and I mean many years, I thought the best way to cut bread and meat was with a hand knife. But my son showed me, how good electric knife was, so I made the Cuisinart Electric Knife purchase. It is really great. I am able to make slices so much easier and thinner.
