This was a gift and we find it excellent for evenly cutting homebaked loaves of bread. But, blades not working so well after three months - we have not been able to release the blades to wash.

Makes carving a roast a breeze. Easy to use, handy suction cup holds the cord in place on the bench top preventing the cord from falling or being grabbed by a small child (or curious cat). Sometimes I find seating the blades tricky, but not always. Overall, a very good product.

I've used these Breville knives for nigh 20 years and were great, till lately the bread builds up between the blades on my new one. Got replaced - and same thing. Will take this one back too. Please get the design/manufacture right Breville. you will turn people away from a good knife. not recommending till current product defect sorted.
