GRAEF Manual H9 All-Slicer H9EU Silver, Wood

I've only used this for 3 loaves so far and I have to say it is brilliant! I don't plan to use it for anything other than bread. My sourdough bread tends to have a very tough crust on the base and this slices through it so easily, it's great! The build is sturdy, but it's light and easy to move around - which is great as it means I can use it on my lower table (easier on the shoulder). The wooden handle spins on its spindle - I believe some don't, and this is what you want. The sliding tray is removable, so if your food is too large to fit, you can just remove it - although you'd have to be very careful with the blade of course. I guess the height of the blade might be a limiting factor if you have a huge joint of meat. You can see in the video I have removed the tray as I have a large loaf. Towards the biggest part, the slice does start to hit the handle. I thought this might annoy me but it's easy to move your finger across to push it across, or I saw someone use a magnet and steel ruler as a guide, so this doesn't happen. My shoulder has been injured so I was slightly nervous going for a manual slicer, but it is really easy to use, not requiring much force. You can see I'm using it on a wooden table - so not well anchored and it doesn't move - it probably would if I put more force on it. You could always stick it to a glass table protector. I haven't had to clean it yet, other than wipe the blade with a damp cloth. The blade is removable - I might invest in some special gloves before I do that.

Simple, robust, excellent slicer. Mainly use it for slicing homemade bread. Cut slices are more uniform, easier to cut compared to using a bread knife before. No more squished, uneven slices. Has rubber suction feet to keep slicer in place on kitchen counter top, a small dial to adjust how thin or thick you want slice to be and a nice big revolving blade to cut from under as opposed to slicing it from top. Slice tray with plastic guide makes it very easy to keep the bread in place while slicing forward. The slicing is smooth and one can rotate the handle faster or slower depending on bread hardness. Fast delivery, simple assembly (only manual assembly was to slide in the handle and rotate it to lock position), instructions in German, English only.

Chose this slicer for my sourdough bread. Adjustable thickness setting is great, cuts through the crust with ease, and without smashing the loaf. Suction footing works well with granite countertops.

Spitzenteil. Und scharf, schneidet durch Brot wie durch Butter. Der Schlitten ist für Brote (außer Baguette) zu klein, aber für Brot ist es auch primär nicht gedacht, denn bei einem Brot braucht man den auch nicht, die Gefahr sich in die Finger zu schneiden ist bei einem Brot nicht groß. Den kann man ja einfach abnehmen ( bei Bedarf, also Schinken oder Wurst wieder dranmachen) und los geht's. Hatte vor 30 Jahren im Studium mal so ein Teil, das war schon über 30 Jahre alt und immer noch gut, aber das Teil hier ist echt der Hammer. Also Langlebigkeit ist wohl auch garantiert. Fazit: Scharf, spart Strom, leicht zu bedienen, Schneiden macht Freude, kann ich nur empfehlen, Anschaffung habe ich echt nicht bereut. Nur aufpassen, wo man es hinstellt, denn Staub z.B. vom Mehl unter den Füßen lässt das Gerät leicht verrutschten, was natürlich logisch ist. Also, glatt und sauber hinstellen damit die Saugfüße anständig Halt haben. Dann macht es echt Freude.
