Since I had no place in my kitchen to install a dispenser with cutting function for cling film, I bought this trimmer. The brand name "Emsa" has a certain decision to buy the game, because I found so far Emsa products consistently well. This has changed with the purchase of this "film cutter"; one would have him more "film Reisser" call, because the advertised clean cutting edge does not come about. Instead, the film is perforated only minimally as on a dotted line and then the required tearing funtioniert also just as with all other devices of this type also that one has after a more or less torn and glued piece of foil in hand, with the one on to sense nothing can start. So better - Stay away and cut with scissors again in the future, the film or where space is (like by EMSA) set the foil cutter to hang with pulling knife!
