The Siemens food slicer can cut both thick slices and thin slices. Whether bread, sausage, cheese, etc., that's no matter. It can clean very well and also fold up quickly. The quality meets the price! I can put this product to anyone just my heart. I cut so daily bread and the blade is really sharp! In order not to hurt (especially children), there is a safety button which you have to press the "Home Button" at the same time. But makes no trouble at all! It is also yet another "plastic part" here, where one z. B. puts in the bread and can cut it down to the last piece, without getting hurt. I can really recommend this product to anyone !!
