This slicer is scheduled for "left-handed" and that's what I was looking especially for my mom. It works perfectly and its blade is efficient, very sharp. The bread does not collapse, even when the then cuts that it is fresh. Two small caveats: 1) You have to press two buttons at once for the machine works! Not easy to do especially when it comes to seniors. I know this is a safety issue, but it would be wise to think that the mark be able to leave neutralize one of two safeties by the user when there are no children there .. 2) It is not easy to be moved because when the machine is folded, the part on which the carriage slides, easily separates from the rest of the device!
