Review 1 for Norpro Multi-Purpose Slicer, 5170
I have used wire, egg slicers for years to slice my mushrooms and strawberries. Invariably, one or more wires would break within months of purchase. This slicer is easy to use and clean up and does a great job on eggs, mushrooms and strawberries. The cutting edges are sharp and sturdy and should last a lifetime.
Pros: Easy to Clean/Wash, quality, easy to use, multi-purpose, construction, Appearance/ Design /Style, Performs Well, easy to store, Functional/Useful, Long-lasting
Cons: Expensive/ Price

Mate

I bought one of these a couple years ago for myself to slice strawberries. The normal egg slicer didn't work well. This item worked for me so well that I purchased 3 of these as gifts for my friends. I know that some people have indicated the coating chips but I've not had any problem with mine. I highly recommend this product.
Pros: Easy to Clean/Wash, easy to use, multi-purpose, size, easy to store

I had been looking everywhere for a slicer for mushrooms. Egg slicers have worked but only until the wires eventually bust. I have gone through so many of them. I knew I needed to find something with blades and this perfect.

For years I have searched for a slicer that could do mushrooms (among other things). Most importanty with no wires. I used it immediately and it worked better than I ever expected. So it will easily do eggs, mushrooms and most anything you can imagine.

I just purchased this, so haven't used it for everything I want. I did slice eggs with it over the holidays and it did a nice job. I like the stainless steel part of it, and will not break like the wire ones I have had. The eggs I used were large and there was no problem with the size in slicing them.

Purchased this item for the second time; mistakenly put the first one in the dishwasher. Not only does it discolor the product, but your hands get discolored when handling. It's great for slicing eggs, strawberries, kiwi, etc., which is why I purchased a replacement.

I have to slice lots of fruits everyday for my child & this slicer makes quick work of bananas, strawberries, peaches & others much better than my other slicer with wire cutting bands. It cleans up better as well. It seems very sturdy & should last a long time.

I have only used on strawberries and pretty much turns them into mush. Plus, by the time you place strawberry correctly in slicer, (just seconds) you could have cut in slices yourself.

Liked the feel and sturdiness of the slicer, but found it to be a little small even for an egg. Not all of the egg would get sliced as it would get caught on the sides rather than between the base and the blades.

I bought it to use on strawberries. I like it alot but have to remember to keep my fingers away from the slicers as they are very sharp. I highly recommend this product and for the money it is a great thing to have in the drawer and a great stocking stuffer for Christmas and Shower gift.
