Has a design flaw. It sliced, but the back piece that adjusts the slice thickness is made of plastic and flexes when a heavy or firm piece of cheese/meat lies against it, causing the slices to be random thickness. Also, the cheese sticks to it, causing it to 'stutter' and sometimes flip around with the blade. I eventually was able to get thru a 5lb block of Cooper Sharp cheese, but it was difficult at best. Meats will probably be a little less troublesome.
