Ritter Food Slicer Markant 01

Flimsy Slider – Found the slider a bit flimsy and doesn't hold securely in place. Have accidentally pushed it into the blade and damaged it. Pity as otherwise it is a good slicer.

Great compact home slicer – I bake loaves in a bread machine once or twice a week. Until I bought this slicer about 6 months ago I had pretty poor results trying to slice bread, particularly fresh bread, with a bread knife. This slicer has changed that totally. I can slice loaves about 2-3 hours after they come out of the machine, either thick or thin slices with no holes or tears. Because the loaves are quite tall, I lay them sideways when slicing. I waste less of the loaf and enjoy evenly toasted bread. The slicer is easy to clean of crumbs and folds up into the original box (10.3cm wide, 21.7cm high, 34.7cm long) so that it takes very little shelf space. It is a quality German made product with a 65 Watt motor and a strong and very sharp 17cm diameter blade. It can slice up to 14mm thick. I have not used it to slice anything other than bread.
