This goes not only for this model, but all similar products. The vegetable holder does not work well for all vegetables, such as carrots and bell peppers. So you may be tempted to go free-hand mode. If so, you do not want to be distracted. I was and it cost me a trip to the emergence room, 10 stitches to sew the end of my thumb back on. It went right through it and left it sitting on the cutting board. OUCH!

I see that others have had the same misfortune. I should add that I had it set on #4, which translates to about 3/16 to 1/4 inch slices. That's how much of my thumb was removed. A few days ago, I wanted to slice something with it, but decided not to - no nerve. I will probably discard it - after removing the blade.

Love this hand held pizza slicer. great looking, easy to clean, well designed so you press down no the pizza exactly where you want with the razor sharp blade. Good looking, easy to use. Zyliss makes great stuff!

This ice cream scoop is nothing like any other scoop I have or have used. It has a good amount of weight on the head of the scoop that seems to help with going into the ice cream. The handle fits perfectly in the hand and is made of a solid material that does seem like it will last even with a lot of pushing on it. What I like about it is that the front edge of the scoop cuts into the ice cream very easily and turns nice shaped scoops of ice cream. The way it handles makes it a breeze to serve even hard ice cream. I wish I would have bought this thing a long time ago.

I like edge can openers. This one functions well, but I had one previously that functioned better. The only drawback to this opener is that after you cut open the lid, you have to unlock the blade and relock the tip of the can opener on the lid in order to take the lid off. The previous can opener I had would take the lid off in the locked position after the lid was completely cut.

Not up to the usual Zyliss standards. Chops well but likely to come apart (not break) while in use.

I buy a few of these at a time. They are great for lettuce, but I use mine more often for brownies and desserts. We attend quite a few auctions and always participate in the dessert auction. I use a plate I don't mind losing and include the "lettuce" knife with it. It is sharp, won't damage the plate or non-stick pans and cuts like a dream. Also, since it's so cheap, I don't mind giving it away with cakes and desserts. When using at home, I love the fact that it is dishwasher safe ( my husband sticks EVERYTHING in the dishwasher).

we purchased a set about 3 years ago. they have been through the dishwashwer many times and in childrens hands just as often. They work great, keep the corn secure, are great to store by interlocking and a breeze to clean. Well made too! so far these are the best ones we owned and i am ready to purchase a set for my sister.

I love it. I bought it for my husband and he thinks that it is the "best thing since sliced bread". He loves it. It grates fine and thick cheese. It is great.
