Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of WMF Profi Plus Stainless-Steel Cheese Slicer
Customer Review: Ordinarily, I'm fanatically devoted to Rösle tools...
Summary: 5 Stars
...but in this case I think WMF have done a better job.
With Rösle's similar design (i.e. two-sided, with a handle parallel to the cut), sometimes I wonder whether both sides are necessary, as the difference in thickness is slight. And if you turn the screw to tighten the wire--in hopes of making the narrow side more narrow--you risk snapping off the wire, probably breaking it (though it might be possible to reattach, if you're lucky).
To be fair, this type of design is inherently fragile I'm guessing, and I doubt WMF's knife is immune. However I have yet to break it, while I've already broken two of the Rösle slicers.
With WMF's slicer I find it easy to produce consistent paper-thin slices even with relatively-hard cheeses. As is evident, this is my preference; I'll flip to the other side only if someone else prefers their cheese slices to be thicker.
If you're accustomed to the perpendicular-handled style, at first you may find this type of slicer confusing: "When I get near the bottom, how do I finish slicing off the piece?" It's a skill and requires practice. But I'm clumsy--and have weak hands, due to a disability--so if I can do it, I'm sure almost anyone can figure it out.
