I am happy to have bought this machine! I was a bit scared that she could not cope with my needs, but I have now excited a few weeks in use and am! Finally perfectly cut thin slices of bread now come to the table with our snacks! No more cutting with the knife and more crushed and broken bread slices! For home use, in my opinion, absolutely sufficient and recommended! With a damp cloth after use and quick wipe before the slicer can back into his drawer! Super easy to clean. Would I buy it again!
