100% of our bread at home is homemade and heavy texture. We've worn out a lot of electric knives. Most wear at the joint at the front of the blades or the blades start to separate in the middle so that they shave up a thin piece of meat between the blades.
We got our first B&D ERGO based on a test report in a cooking magazine. So far it has held up very well and is the best electric knife we've had. It didn't like being dropped on a concrete/ceramic tile floor but continued to work while wrapped in tape. I think that this is the first time we've tried to get a specific model as a replacement.

This is an excellent knife. It is sharp, cuts with minimum effort, and has unique safety features. Most importantly, is very easy to use because it is comfortable for the hands.

I've had this for a couple of years and only used it to slice turkey, chicken and roast beef. The first time I used the knife it started to smell like it was over heating. It does that every time I have used it. I've tried going very slow and applying no pressure to see if that would help - it helped a little but still seemed to be over heating. Cannot recommed it.
