We bought the device because our 15 year old Gräf no longer quite so fresh looked. The first impression looks good, a small compact unit as we wanted to have it really. Our old device chimed in once the carriage has been pressed. Here you have a quite hakeligen button Press and light to push forward with his left hand. First of strange since the knob snaps in advance excessive. The material to be cut should not be wider than the actual edition, if possible. A round rye bread is pushed down when cutting and thereby presses the plastic sled backwards from the rather primitive leadership out. You do not fit because the part is on the floor. The plastic sled, the food holder and the drip tray in my opinion are the weaknesses in the machine. And when all the plastic and is also a very thin wall, it will not keep you safe long. Plastic sled and remnant holder can now be all right and gladly move 6 mm back and forth. How to cut as thin slices is not yet clear to me. The small drip tray can be taken away just to the left because of its shape. Under the traverse unit will not begin. Here is a simple metal shell would have been better. Actually a pity that one a Full-metal device with such a plastic botch so disfigured. The carriage would definitely stay here be made of metal and have a different leadership. That gives it all the plastic parts as spares is there already have a reason.
