5.0 out of 5 stars 1 year of slicing roasts and still carving, November 28, 2005

This knife works nicely. The blades have remained sharp after carving roasted chicken and turkey, roast beef, and yes even cakes over the past year.

The handle wipes off cleanly after use and doesn't suffer from the extreme electric motor vibration that so many electric knives have. The handle stays cool as well. I don't have anything bad to say about this item, it has been a true performer.

2.0 out of 5 stars A disappointment, January 1, 2004

By

This review is from: Black & Decker EK800 Slice-Right Electric Knife with Slicing Guide (Kitchen)

We wanted to buy the B&D "ergo" electric knife, but we could not locate one in time for Xmas, so we bought the EK800.

The first time we used it, the knife sliced a standing rib roast into beautiful thin slices. The second time we used it (on a baked ham) food stated slipping in between the two blades. This is the problem with the EK800, the slicing blade is actually two thin blades that sort of lock together. When we attempt to slice meats, thin slivers of meat get in between the two blades, making slicing impossible. We thought it might be our "technique", but we tried it on several more roasts nd no matter how we use it, food gets between the blades. It's too late to return it, so we'll keep it for slicing homemade bread, but we'll be looking for another electric knife for carving meats.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cook's Illustrated rates this #1, December 5, 2004

The only other reviewer gave this only two start because they said that meat getting in between the two blades rendered the knife useless for cutting meats. I am going to purchase this knife based on the following review from Cook's Illustrated and I quote word for word: "The Black & Decker EK800 Slice Right is every bit as good as its predecessor (the Ergo). It exeduted all tasks perfectly."
