Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Norpro 370 Bread Slicerand Guide with Crumb Catcher
Customer Review: A Very Handy Thing
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great bread slicer. I like that the base is wood and that the slats catch most of the crumbs while slicing. Easy to use and to empty, too. The only improvement I would make would be rubber feet to keep it from slipping around on the counter. I also think that the slicing guides would be better made of metal, but the plastic works okay. Great item for the price. I'll see if I can buy rubber feet at the home improvement store, then it will be about perfect!Customer Review: Glad I didn't listen.

I read two poor reviews of this product but, fortunately, decided to try it for myself. Judging from the picture, it looked like a good product. I had tried another brand and didn't like it. This one looked like an improvement and it was. You do, of course, have to use a bread knife that is long enough to fit into both sides of the guide. Also, if bread is allowed to cool, it will slice much better. I really like this product and my bread sliced easily and evenly.Customer Review: Wish this worked

This is cute. I sure wish it worked. It is way too wide for my bread and my knife. I figure it is so wide so it can fit a variety of breads but I have to anchor my loaf when slicing... and doesn't help that my knife isn't long enough. Very frustrating to use.
The tines make little larger than 1/2 inch slices -too thick for my liking. The tines are also very flimsy. Haven't had any break yet but I am Very careful.
Cute idea but doesn't work.
Customer Review: flimsy plastic sides
Summary: 2 Stars
we make a lot of 2 lb loaves and like others had to buy a longer knife & then the point would miss the mark...AND; break the "plastic fingers"/cut into the bottom, finally bought a small bar plastic cutting board to place in the bottom for the loaf to sit on just abit higher...finally gave up after 90% of the plastic fingers were broken & had our local woodworking shop make us two wooden slotted sides with 1/2" spaces for cutting...PRESTO, now product is very useful!Customer Review: It needs a little TLC

I love the bread slicer. For the price it can't be beat. You need to know that you will have to put nonskid pads on the bottom and also good tape to hold the front together. Other than that - it works just fine and we have nicely sliced bread. I will probably refine the plastic box to make it more secure, but the concept works. One more thing; you need a really long knife or it comes out of the holes. I use a serrated bread slicer that is about14" long.
