Love it, I'm a professional Chef and this unit fit in my Home kitchen and not only works great it looks so professional. I get lots of attention and Media photos and one shot that is prefered over most is me at the slicer carving up something. LOL

And yes it cuts cheeses but they must be firm what I do to some chesse is to start a freeze on it this makes some cheese cut better but remember all cheese has different densities.

It does cut cheese. It slices hard type cheese, such as Gruyere, very well.

I'm sorry, I don't know for sure. I am still using and enjoying this slicer.

I'm not sure. This slicer is a piece of junk and mine broke before it was a year old.

I have used it to slice very hard cheese, but soft cheese will not work. The grater blade works well to grate all types of cheese.

I am not sure; I think that it would work for some cheeses, but not for others! I think that it would depend on the texture of the cheese. I am guessing that hard cheeses would be likely to crumble and that if the cheese was too soft, it would not hold its shape very well. I am not sure that I would buy this for cutting cheese, but I may try it at some point. I use these mostly for cutting fruits and vegetables with children in the kitchen; they work well with small hands. I hope that this helps!

Yes, this is an awesome product for intended use.. I really use it more than any other knife to slice cheddar type cheese.

I got the 2 attachments included in the Presto 02910 package. I slice carrots, radishes and other salad ingredients. I have not shredded cheese yet. The explanation that is online give an explanation of what each attachment does.

Sorry, never tried it. The serrated blade should help with softer cheeses. Something like Velveeta would need to be very cold.

I have not sliced meat yet. I use it primarily to slice cheese and it works great.

Yes that's why I bought it since a knife just doesn't 'cut it' for thin regular slices of my specialty cheeses. This thing probably paid for itself in a week or two

It comes with 2 blades one for grating the other for slices. I use mine for shredding cabbage and carrots for slaw. I grate cheddar cheese right into the bowl that I'm using. I use the slicer with parmigiana cheese. I use this tool so often that when we travel in our rv I take it with me. Wonderful to make the slaw as you "shoot" it right into the serving bowl to mix.

I have never attempted to use the slicing blades for cheese. I do shred a lot of hard cheeses (cheddar,parmesan, asiago, etc.) with the shredding disc and that works great. I wouldn't recommend tryingto slice cheese with a slicing disc. The high speed of the disc would probably begin melting the cheesejust enough to gum up the disc. If you choose to give it a shot anyway just be sure to use hard cheesesonly (like the ones cited above) and definitely NOT mozzarella or Velveeta. Hope this helps out.

Yes it will. You decide the thickness just by moving the cheese in postion under the cutter.

It will slice hard cheeses or most things that are fairly firm, such as potatoes & onions, and of course meats. It is nice to be able to cut uniform thickness. Helps in cooking times & also in cost. One thing we buy are pork loins when they are on sale. My husband cuts a chunk for roast, then we make slices for boneless pork chops. When on sale a loin that full price runs about $45-50 will cost $15-20 and much better pork chops too. This food slicer pays for itself in short time. This is my 2nd food slicer. I had my previous one 30 years & it was not as well built as this one.

Absolutely! My husband uses it to cut cheddar almost exclusively, and it works great. We really love the knife.

Cutting part is shiny and handle is brushed - it does slice pretty thin so I think this would be best for hard cheeses only.

I dont believe so. Its for veggies. I think it would be like any other knife and would squash down the cheese as you cut. Potatoes and tomatoes arent supposed to stick to it because of the little grooves, but they do anyway.
