The slicing guide works fairly well, but unless you have a really thin loaf of bread you won't be able to store the guide inside the container as the picture shows. As a result, anytime you open the container to get some bread, crumbs will fall out and you also end up exposing half the loaf. Minor inconvenience I guess. Everything works as it should, but it could definitely use some improvement. The container work s well for shorter loaves, but when placing a longer loaf in it you have to fully extend each half of the container.
I'm always slicing into the plastic at the bottom of the bread. I was looking for a convenient way to keep bread fresh and this is really great. But then again, I haven't found anything else like it or better to buy and it wasn't very expensive. I wonder how long it will last. Rather than use it the "long" way on the counter, I keep it so that I lift the top up and off. I use the slicer constantly and it's a big help, but I do wish it were a little less flimsy.
It says in stock, but I have just received an e-mail, from Bealls telling me they do not have the item and my order was cancelled on the 30th.They never bothered to contact me or anything and the item is still showing as 'in stock'.I would not do business with a company that places NO value on customer service. I ordered this item to arrive by the 29th July. Today is the 5th August and the only reason I queried this was because Amazon kindly brought it to my attention.
After six months of use, there are knife marks scratching the bottom, and it's almost impossible to clean. After seeing all the great reviews for this item, I figured this would be the one for me. The bread keeper is not functional at all. I'm going to look for a wood bread guide, as that is what I'm used too. How wrong I was. I find the guide to be pretty flimsy, especially for sturdier breads like rye and whole wheat.
Hence, the second keeper. IMHO, anyone who has a problem with them simply isn't using them as designed. This is the second of this item I have purchased. This cleverly designed keeper and slicing guide do the job for me perfectly. Hint: Regardless of the picture, the slicing guide is not meant to be left inside the bread keeper at the same time a loaf of bread is being stored.Not rocket science, boys and girls, just simple logic.And, by the way, it arrived quickly and very well packed.A bargain. The first, which I paid quite a bit more for several years ago, is still in use and fine. However, I often have two types of bread available at the same time.
