I purchased this electric knife it described some nice features. Unfortunately it needs a lot of improvement.
First of all the spacer that is included is medium/soft plastic. It does not lock into place so you have to be careful with slicing as it looks like it would shift. I could not get a uniform slice, as the spacer bends outwards while cutting as well.
I carved the following and found it difficult to slice through. I tried to slice turkey breast, honey baked ham, and hard salami with the spacer on and off. The knifes are not sharp enough, or needs more power. The storage for the knives is a good feature, but I personally do not recommend this product.

Like a lot of people, I don't mind baking a Ham or Turkey but when it comes to carving...well that is another story. I always used a traditional carving knife. One of my friends suggested the Easy Slice Electric Knife and now I don't mind carving dinner right in front of people. It is so easy to use! The blades clean up easily and the price can't be beat!

I have two different electric knives. One is with a straight shaft and the trigger under the front. The Hamilton Beach has a handle over the main shaft with a trigger on top of that handle. I find this considerably more difficult and awkward to use. I love carving with electric knives and recommend its use for turkeys, hams, homemade bread, and other meats.

I have used many Hamilton Beach products and I find them very reputable. Before this we had a toastmaster knife for two months but it was terrible. This hamilton beach is very sharp and powerful, i told all my relatives to get one too and they love theirs. I highly recommend it. It is great on roasts, chickens, turkeys everything.
