I’ve seen several reviews about blades breaking and have had it for a month or two with no issues regarding blades. Went ahead and purchased a warranty on it since the slicer I used to have was 450 dollars!!!!!! So for right around 100 in all it’s worked great. Tomatoes are sliced perfect every time. I work for a sub shop so we’re constantly slicing close to a 100 toms if not more every day. Only issue I’ve had is the “pusher” gets loose after a days worth of prep. You can very easily unscrew the back butt plate and pull off the arm with the spokes aka pusher. Then tighten the screws down that holds the piece together. A day later though and it’s still loose not a huge issue takes 2 minutes to adjust but still annoying. I plan on putting some loctite on there and hopefully it’ll be “bing chilling”. I’ll write another review if I can’t update this one to see if it fixes everything. If not for the issue 5.5-6/5 especially for the price vs a “NeMcO blehhh”. It has exceeded expectations but due to the annoying flaw 4.0/5. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk!
