Anticipating a word to all who complain that the cheese cutter with hard cheese does not work well or breaks down: This type of cheese cutter is designed for soft cheeses and works for perfect. Who wants to cut hard cheese should resort to a cheese slicer, which in turn was designed for and not confuse customers by poor reviews. The product is already should evaluate according to how it works in the field, for which it was designed. I am with this cheese cutter more than satisfied. It is easy to clean, the wire can easily be tightened again and possibly even bought later if it still should get broken again.
My conclusion therefore: If we use the cheese slicer for soft cheeses, for which it is intended, there is nothing better! For hard cheeses, however, use a cheese slicer.
