Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Anything that helps big holiday meals or dinner parties go more smoothly is a good idea--and haven't you had enough of wrestling with the ham in the kitchen, attempting to carve picture-perfect slices? Certainly, proper technique makes a big difference, but with this quality electric knife, all you have to do is angle it in the correct spot on the roast and press down lightly--the rest is taken care of. The blades detach with the push of a button and can go right in the dishwasher. There's a hook for wall storage, and a suction cup that allows you to keep the cord safely out harm's way. It's also great on artisan breads with a thick crust: the well-designed handle gives you the perfect grip for sawing right through the thickest sourdough. --Jill Lightner

This knife works extremely well and can fit a modest budget. This is the third one I have bought because the other two went to members of my family--perhaps I can hold on to this one.

This review is from: Krups 371-70 OptiSlice Electric Knife, White (Kitchen)

After having had a CORDLESS electric knife that finally bit the dust, this was very unwieldy. The worst part of this knife was that the blades were too short, as I've notice on most electric knives.

1.0 out of 5 stars bad design, March 17, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Krups 371-70 OptiSlice Electric Knife, White (Kitchen)

The knife is very difficult to hold on to and press the button, it doesn't fit the hand very well at all. The knives are very sharp, but not long enough to slice through a small roast. Should be ok for bread.

This is the first electric knife I've ever used, so I can't compare it to any others, and not sure I'll ever try one again.
