Cutting performance is very good. Both soft as well as hard to be cut can be very well made. The settings for the cutting thickness is easy. By suckers extremely good stand, slide and finger guards provide good security. The machine is made of metal therefore very difficult but stable. On the negative side to assess that the slide, finger protection and crumb tray from the simplest plastic are, once slipped from the worktop and even a crack in the plastic. One would expect the quality of the cutter more. Namely, the scale to set the cutting width consists of figures, represents these points but no mm, cm or the like. You have to guess what you in thickness, for example 2 einstellt- no explanation in the instruction manual.
