EvenSlice

I was so looking forward to getting home and trying my Evenslice but unfortunately it didn’t live up to my expectation. Firstly the size of my freshly baked bread seemed too large to fit on the plate and so squashing the loaf onto it made for uneven slices. Also it is very awkward to hold the loaf against the plate while cutting and therefore I don’t feel safe when using the knife. It is now relegated to the back of the cupboard. Unusual for a product from Lakeland!

Simple to use, perfect slices every time! A couple of minor issues though: - None of the thickness settings are particularly thick, I'd label them as: - Wafer Thin - Very Thin - Thin - Normal I'd much prefer there was a thicker option, instead of the near useless "wafer thin" setting. - Regarding the plastic at the bottom. I too am concerned by this, but I see that this strip is removable, does this mean replacements are available? - Measure the width of your loaf before buying, it really won't work for loaves over 12cm wide as it states.

Don't get me wrong, with a good bread knife, this works very well. However, it has a few faults. The most popular bread maker at the moment is the Panasonic one. However, the loaves it bakes are slightly too wide for this slicer, so you have to squeeze the loaf in. So, a broader slicer would be better. Despite all the thickness settings, I always have to use this on its thickest one. Any others seem far too thin. The bottom block gets cut through! Please, PLEASE, Lakeland, supply us with replacement blocks! I would even pay! So, not ideal.

I was really looking forward to using this product as getting even slices of bread is a bit of a challenge. However I was disappointed to find that although in theory this an excellent idea in practice it fails in two important areas. 1 it simply isn't wide enough. Loaves have to be squeezed into position and have to be kept there with considerable force otherwise you end up with a wedge shaped slice. 2 I'm not comfortable slicing right down to the bottom as I'm not sure if I'll end up cutting into the plastic base. If these two problems were sorted then this would be a great piece of kit.

I have been a loving lakeland customer for years ....BUT, this is an awful product. 1. As noted by other reviewers it can't handle a normal sized loaf as it isn't wide enough. I bought it for cutting bloomers, cobs etc and they don't fit unless you turn them on their side. 2. The whole unit is quite flimsy, and because of the angle you have to apply a lot of pressure to hold the bread in place, thus squashing it 3. For something with so few components it is an incredible faff to assemble ready for use Sadly, I threw the box away before using it so can't return it - learn from my mistake!

I had the previous version of the easy slice and wasn't that impressed. Now many years later I've bought another breadmaker and as my teenagers seem unable to cut anything other than huge doorstops, I decided to try again. This version works so much better although the "thick" setting is "normal" for us, I can't see when we would want thinner. I would dispute the integrated crumb catcher idea as my one gripe is that there are always crumbs everywhere but that is boys constantly going back for more not the slicer. You do need a really good bread knife though, makes a world of difference.

Have used my slicer for a month now and am very pleased with it. It does require a little getting used to but the most difficult thing I found was setting it up - I strongly advise anyone with a poor memory like mine to cut out the picture on the box and keep it for future use - it has more variations than Rubiks Cube and just as difficult to solve, works great though!

I was dubious at first about buying an EvenSlice after reading some of the reviews. I have only used the tool once and I am really satisfied with the way it cuts. My loaf was still slightly warm and it still did the job well. All you need is a little patience, make sure the bread is pushed well into the machine and supported. I would certainly recommend the EvenSlice. It fits easily into the cupboard as well.
