Title: Nice idea, poor implementation
Product review: The concept here is not bad, but the implementation will frustrate you. The spacing between the sides is too wide so a soft loaf of fresh bread still moves back and forth with the knife. The slots are quite wide, and a bit too widely spaced. There is no way to adjust any of this.The crumb catcher seems like a nice feature, but it's not really that important if one has no more than 2 or 3 loaves to slice. There is nothing to interlock the removable end wall into the side knife guide walls, so it pops out rather easily during slicing. The walls must be attached before first use, as they come laid down flat to save on shipping space, and it's reasonably easy to attach them.Unfortunately this item has fallen into complete disuse in our house--and not because we don't bake bread any longer.
