Amazon.com Review

Great for hard and even semihard cheeses, this wire cheese slicer by Oxo cuts cheese thinner than knives can and without the added pressure on your hands. The stainless-steel wire ensures a thin slice, and the solid zinc construction is quite durable. The soft rubber nonslip handle absorbs the pressure slicing puts on your hands. It's perfect for placing next to the cheese board at your next party. Good Grips products are moderately priced and have won the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award. --Laurie Notaro

5.0 out of 5 stars Great cheese slicer, May 2, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: OXO Good Grips 28781 Wire Cheese Slicer (Kitchen)

This is the best slicer for semi-soft cheeses like havarti, swiss and cheddar. We like thin, even slices to put on our toast in the morning and this works the best. The oversized, soft handle is non-slip and helps get good leverage on harder cheeses like cheddar.

1.0 out of 5 stars "cheesy" slicer is more like it..., November 24, 2002

By A Customer

After using this for a couple of months, the wire has stretched and this slicer has become unusable. Save yourself the trouble and do what I ended up doing - go to Target and buy a nice, heavy slicer with adjustable width and screws to tighten the wire should it stretch. It will set you back less then 10 bucks. When I think of how many thousands of these slicers will end up in the garbage; OXO should be ashamed of themselves for creating a product like this.

I have had the WORST luck with wire cheese slicers , regardless of whether they were purchased at the grocery store or gourmet cooking shop. I actually had a $20.00 slicer fall apart with its very first use. I just bought this one a month ago, and though its longevity has yet to be proven, I just had to slice a TON of cheese for a large family Christmas party of 30 people, and was SO glad I bought this when I did! I love the grippy handle, and it made relatively quick work of 6 Sam's Club size blocks of cheese. It worked well on cheddar, monterey jack, colby, colby jack and mozerella. It has a nice weight and feel, and if it's as good as the rest of the Good Grips line, I expect it to last for a very long time.
