Came with extra wires.

It's just the standard hand-fitting, roller, metal cheese cutter at the best price.

Average. Wish I Read The Reviews.

To be fair, this is an OKAY slicer.Somehow this week I broke two plastic slicers of this style. The wire broke on one and the actual plastic of the other.This metal one with the replacement wire(S!) seemed like it would cover those issues. It seemed premium for the other cheese slicers in the $7-10 range, but I wish I read the other reviews.The description says it comes with TWO REPLACEMENT WIRES. The truth is, it comes with ONE installed and ONE replacement; TWO TOTAL."Replacement" in my mind never include the one used to make the product functional.I can say that the wire appears to be of good firmness and quality and the one replacement is better than none. You can always tighten or adjust it with a Phillips (cross-head) OR flat-head screwdriver.The stainless steel seems firm but it is like a hollow, one-sided casting so it isn't the most secure to hold. It will get the job done, but I expected both sides to be similar.The slice size adjustment thumbscrew was easy enough to turn by hand for loosening and tightening, but may also be turned with a Phillips screwdriver. The roller seemed secure enough for multiple slices, but you can probably be more certain by not putting too much pressure against the adjustable roller and letting the wire do the work.I have not cleaned this in the dishwasher, but I feel I will do better to hand wash and dry; especially with the uneven underside.In summary: I'm not worried about this breaking. I like the extra wire, should I need it, and I think this will get you slightly thinner slices than other slicers of its kind.

The picture only shows the top of the slicer

On the plus side, it does feel sturdy and there is an extra wire. I threw the packaging away and probably won't be able to return it, but I sure wish I could. For one thing, there is a screw that holds the roller in position. The placement of the roller determines the size of the slice of cheese. The screw is tiny; I have medium hands and had a hard time turning the screw. Second, it is possible to position that roller at less than a perfect angle, making for uneven slices of cheese. But most importantly, the bottom of the slicer, the picture they didn't show, is not rounded. it is a hollow indented shell, very uncomfortable to hold. Unless the cheese you are slicing is cream cheese, you will find it uncomfortable to hold it or to press down to use it; you are gripping and leaning on the walls of the shell. And about that extra wire... what am I supposed to do with it? Where and how do I keep it? In an envelope marked "slicer wire?" If the slicer is hollowed out (as it is), at least they could do is provide a place to keep the extra wire. And on that topic, what kind of cheese is it supposed to be cutting if the fairly thick wire is expected to break? This is just so not what I thought I was getting.

Barely functional

My old trusty Progressive slicer broke (plastic frame). Needed replacement, this was reasonably priced, but doesn't work well. Wire is attached w 2 screws but cannot be tightened, and way too thick. Chewed up a block of jack cheese into ragged slices. Roller can be adjusted up or down, but wobbles so u dont get uniform slices. Nope. :(
