Customer Reviews

Interesting design but badly flawed
Oxo generally makes great products, but every so often they come up with a dud. This is one of the duds. The problem is in the tensioning mechanism, which consists of a spiral gear that engages a toothed track molded into the end of the slicing wire. Turning the spiral gear with your thumb moves the track and tightens the wire. Unfortunately, the gear is made from plastic and is prone to break. When the first slicer we bought broke I thought it might be a fluke, given Oxo's good reputation. Now that the second one has broken in the same way, I'm concluding that it's a bad design. If Oxo ever replaces the plastic thumbwheel with a metal one this product might be great, but until that time I'd stay away.

Nice cheese slicer
I got this cheese slicer for my wife and she loves it. OXO products, in general seem to be of real good quality. ( We also have their canopener). The slicer comes with 3 wires, so should last a lifetime for a household. (No need to purchase extra pack of wires)

Slices Cheese
Does what it's supposed to do and you can replace the wire. Pick up some extra wires while you're at it.
