Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Trudeau Adjustable Cheese Slicer
Customer Review: Had high hopes for this one....
Summary: 3 Stars
I really liked it. It's a sturdy product with a great feel. Best one I've ever had until the wire broke. No problem!! It came with an extra wire. However, no one in my family can get the new wire in place! It appears to be a smidgen (very precise term of measurement....) too short. I get one little "cube" in place, but the other doesn't stretch far enough to get into its hole. My husband & I fiddled with it for a week. I wrote to the company, asking for help. I asked if there was a trick to using the replacement wire. I also expressed an interest in purchasing extra wires (to have on hand in case it breaks again). The instructions I received was a scan of the back of the packaging, telling me how to adjust the wire for different widths. *sigh* That wasn't the problem. I also found out that they do not sell replacement wires! You only get the one that comes with it. However I commend the company for their quick reply, and for their warranty. There is a 5 year warranty, and they will replace the entire slicer if both wires break. You do have to send in the "damaged" one. It really would be a whole lot simpler if they explained how to replace the wire, and offered additional wires (free or for a nominal fee) to their customers. Customer Review: OVER HYPED.

ACTUALLY I WOULD NOT RATE THIS ITEM WITH ANY STARS.
INSTRUCTIONS WERE CONFUSING AND IT WAS MORE TROUBLE THAN IT WAS WORTH. AN ORDINARY SHARP KNIFE LEFT THIS ITEM IN TEE DUST.
I HAD TO RETURN IT.

Summary: 5 Stars
This superb slicer has a couple of engineering differences from the run-of-the-mill wire slicer. Both make for durability and consistency:
1. The adjustment is done by moving the roller between three sets of notches, for thick, medium, and paper-thin. The common "slide the roller and tighten a screw" arrangement generally causes slippage, particularly after you've been using the slicer a few months, and you need to keep re-adjusting it. Not a problem with this unit.
2. The wire itself is held in place by two tiny cubes of metal slotted into holes in the slicer. This means that the wire is much less likely to loosen and break than a slicer wire that's held on by a pair of screws.
The slicer is a good size and will handle large blocks of cheese with ease, and the handle is ergonomically shaped and covered in soft rubbery material. Overall I'm extremely satisfied for just a few dollars more than a cheap grocery-store wire slicer.
Customer Review: Simply the Best We Have Used!
Summary: 5 Stars
We are Dutch oven cooks here in the northwest and do a lot of classes for folks, cater, and demo. We believe in only having what you enjoy using to cook with in your camp kitchen, in your rv kitchen and in your home kitchen. We bought this slicer in January while in Baker City doing a class. Not only is it a nice heavy piece of equipment, it is so easy to use and adjust. There are three thickness adjustments, giving you extremely thin slices perfectly sliced all the time to nice cocktail thick slices, that look like they were done by the cheese packager before purchase. Nothing sticks. It is easy to clean. Slightly larger grip than normal, making it comfortable in the hand. We have recommended it to all our fellow cooks.
