JUST BAD |
I purchased this knife after browsing through the different models for 30 minutes. The only reason I decided on this one was because a) I have been happy with Hamilton Beach in the past and b) because it was the most expensive one Zeller's had (figured if I am not going to be replacing it for another 10 years go with the best of the bunch....keeping in mind that it was only $40). I even gave this machine an easy test run, bread. The blades wobbled, the sound resembled that of a lawn mower and I used two hands to hold it because the base is so large and awkward. I don't know who's to blame, Hamilton Beach for making such a poor product or me for bringing it home. I have never been more disappointed with an electric knife.

poorly designed, overheats easliy |
We owned this knife for one day, then took it back.
The pros:
It's electric
The Cons:
I used it to carve a boneless cooked pork roast, turkey and pre-sliced ham. I didn't attempt to cut through bone or gristle.
Design: ergonomically poorly designed; poorly balanced, heavy in weight without being sturdy in performance or power; blades wobble even after being inserted properly and then reinserted just to make sure. The more you use it, the more they wobble.
Motor: Gives off a tremendous amount of heat making the unit almost difficult to hold; seems motor is underpowered.
On Button: If your hands get the least bit greasy it's very easy for your trigger finger and supporting fingers to slip dangerously close to the blades. I attribute this to the poor balance of the knife and poorly designed handle.
Recommendation: Don't buy this. Consider the Black & Decker slim line model, which I have owned in the past and intend to purchase again. My old B & D gave up the ghost after many years of service, primarily since I cut through some frozen desserts. |

Bad Design |
|
I am a woman, and found this knife bulky to use, my arm was exhausted when cutting a roast. This knife has the knife release on the top, so when you are trying to cut, 1 finger is on the trigger, and your thumb fits right on top of the knife release, you had to think about moving your thumb away from that buttom, so it would not release while you are cutting. I may just throw it away and buy a more user friendly model. |

Bad Knife, good case |
I bought this knife to replace one that was an antique. (It finally failed after over 20 years - switch wore out.)
This is a piece of junk! My first "adventure" with this knife was to cut super thin slices of ham. The blades wobbled (left to right) so bad I could hardly cut the ham at all. It was not controllable. I felt that it was dangerous. I did like the feel in my large hands. If mine wasn't defective, these should be recalled! |
