Title: taking a gamble
Product review: Family needed a good electric knife to replace my brother's old one (40 years old). I read hundreds of reviews regarding every electric knife I could find. I was surprised the Black and Decker I bought was the same model as our "old reliable." It claimed to be able to cut all meats, cheeses crusty breads, roasts. Took out a beef roast from the fridge. My brother tried to make slices five times, it would cut a quarter-inch then blades would stop, but motor kept going and handle would get hot. IN UNDER A MINUTE the knife blades would not cut air. Did much research. problem is mixing plastic in motor with steel to save a few cents. All electric knives are foreign made by people on slave wages. I would pay up to $75 for a good electric steel knife Made but a factory in U.S.A. presently one is given a chance, a gamble on will it work or not. Most don't last 6 months with weekly use.
