Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bagel Biter
Customer Review: Must have dishwasher....
Summary: 2 Stars
I really liked this bagel cutter. My husband claims they "moosh" the bagels more than cut them, but he does not heat his to a crisp crust (so keep that in mind if you like a soft crust). My complaint about this is that it is virtually impossible to clean if you do not have a dishwasher. I have tried every sponge and scrubber out there and nothing works. If it is flat and narrow enough to fit between the blade and the clear plastic around it, the blade catches it and stops it from moving. It literally cannot be hand-washed to any acceptable cleanliness (and we aren't that picky....). Fantastic item if you have a dishwasher to put the whole thing in every time you use it. Unless you have soft bagels.Customer Review: Cuts smoothly but the bagels always get cut on an angle
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this after seeing a similar product at a motel. Up till then I had been using a plastic box with guides for the knife blade which worked okay but many of the bagels I purchased were too fat for it.
The Larien bagel biter certainly cuts bagels fast and cleanly but no matter how I place the bagel in the channel, nor what brand I use, the bagels always come out cut on an angle with each half having one edge much thinner than the other. I can't believe it's a defective unit since there isn't much to go wrong so it must be the way I am positioning the bagel. Apart from that it works well and it is kid safe.
Customer Review: Takes the Bite out of cutting your finger!
Summary: 4 Stars
This product is one of the best gadgets I have in my kitchen. We eat bagels at least 3 times a week and I love using the Bagel Biter. It cuts even and fast. It is so much easier than cutting with a knife and much safer. My daughter used to be afraid to cut a bagel because she's cut her finger more than once. She uses it all the time too. My only recommendation would be to put the Bagel Biter on a plate before cutting because all the crumbs come out the bottom. It is also really easy to clean. I usually just wash it in the sink but, I have also put it in the dishwasher and it came out great.Customer Review: Works Great - even with Costco bagels!
Summary: 4 Stars
Unlike one of the other reviewers, I find this slicer works fine with Costco bagels. Overall, we really like this slicer, especially since it allows our kids to slice and toast their own bagels!! The only downside is that if you try to slice a very soft bagel (either a soft fresh bagel, or one that you defrosted in the microwave a little too long) it will tend to smash it a little, rather than slice it. This is only because there is no sawing action, like you would have with a knife, just downward cutting force. This would obviously be a limitation of any of these types of products.Customer Review: 3 years strong
Summary: 5 Stars
On average we buy a bakers dozen twice a month and use our bagel guillotine to cut all of the bagels at once and then freeze them. The blade is still fine after 3 years, safe for kids to use, easy to wash (one poster claims to put it in the dishwasher but I thought it says not dishwasher safe on the box and I haven't risked it), I hand wash after each use. It would be great if they had a way to catch crumbs, but it already saves so much time and takes a second to wipe up 50 sesame seeds. I love this product!
