It cuts bread very effectively, even fresh bread and the slice thickness mechanism is easy to use. If I were to improve the slicer I would make the shaft of the crank handle a little longer so it has less tendency to hit the slice of bread being cut as it rotates around. Alternatively provide a guide to keep the handle away from what's being sliced. The slicer wasn't cheap and the price reflects the very good quality of German manufacture, it's very well made indeed and you get what you pay for.
Thank you very much for your review and valuable feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you are impressed with how effectively the slicer cuts bread, even fresh loaves, and that you found the slice thickness mechanism easy to use. We're also glad that you recognize the high-quality German craftsmanship, which we take pride in delivering.
We appreciate your suggestion regarding the crank handle, and we’ll be happy to pass this improvement idea on to the manufacturer, Zassenhaus, in Germany.
If you have any further suggestions or questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Best regards,
Martin
absolutely love it and slices my fresh sourdough perfectly every time
The grinder is excellent. However, my experience with the shipment with UPS was pitiful. The package arrived over a week late and was wet and the grinder has been removed from the original packaging. It was just a mess, however the grinder itself if very good. I don’t blame Loewen META for the shipping experience. This was all UPS’s fault.
Thank you for your feedback and your positive comments about the grinder! We sincerely apologize for the shipping issues. UPS is usually very reliable, but it seems there was a problem in this case. If the item is damaged, we will of course replace it immediately.
Due to recent problems, we have switched to DHL Express for shipping, as they have proven to be even more reliable at the moment.
Thank you for your understanding and patience!
Best regards,
Martin
Solid product with exceptional quality and performance
I'd been looking for this type of grater ever since a friend had an antique version from her grandmother. It works quickly to grate a large amount of cheese (harder cheeses work best) as well as frozen butter when I make pie crust. The suction cups on the feet really help keep it place. Best of all, I don't risk grating my fingers!!!
