After our Krups Slicers after 25 years of steam has gone out, I was looking for a replacement necessity Schneider. My choice was the knight E 18Kontur and I have not looked back. Since living in our household left- and right-handed and the old Maschiene had the carriage to the left, we did not change us. Articles by Amazon Fast as usual was delivered, equal unpacked and put into operation immediately. Was unusual in that the cutter is not folded, but he takes in width less space than some anderere not folding slicer, which are on the market. On 4 rubber feet the unit is clear and shake-free. All parts that touches the hand, make a stable impression. The start button can be locked for continuous operation, which is a relief for a lot of intersection. The Auffangtablettchen first made a little windy impression, but it is more stable than it looks, and now I guess the simple extraction to clean. Little rough edges or Ritzchen where crumbs can disappear quickly is cleaned with a cloth. Kaufausslaggebend was that Ritter manufactures in Germany, thus securing jobs in the country. The only drawback is that broader, round loaves do not fit on the slide, but since you can indeed help by cutting the loaf once in the middle. All in all an excellent device to which I can only guess.
