Update - 04/15/13
I've had this thing a bit more than year now, used it once a week to slice loaves of homemade bread.  I had originally reported that it got a bit warm.  A few months after that, there was the occasional smell of burnt wiring, but it still worked.  Then the burning smell became more noticeable and more often.  Last week, tried to cut a small piece of cooked (and tender) roast.  The knife really struggled through it, and quickly started smoking again.  Used it this morning, and smelled smoke, but it still cuts - just a little slower now.  This thing is on its final legs.  I really liked the ergonomics of the knife, but the fact that this relatively expensive knife lasted through about 60 loaves of bread is inexcusable.  Maybe I can make something worthwhile out of the otherwise useless wooden stand in my wood shop. At least the knife was BPA free.

Original review:
Bought this thing as a bread slicer.  Don't really care about slicing meats, prefer a sharp knife for that.  If you have a bread machine, you need one of these.  Cuts thin slices and doesn't destroy the bread while doing it.  Knife get a little warm after slicing a loaf, but it works great.
