Amazon.com Review
Cuisinart's electric knife adds a little electricity to any carving or cutting job, providing the extra power a real kitchen commando needs. Its powerful motor combines with two stainless-steel blades (one for carving and one for bread) to make short work of almost every slicing task, whether you're working with a roast, French bread, or vegetables. It has a comfortable ergonomic handle designed to be used by right- or left-handed people, a solid-wood butcher-block storage tray with a safety lock system for storage in a drawer or on the counter, a one-touch pressure-activated on/off trigger control, and space for wrapping the cord. --A.J. Rathbun

Product Description
You've gone to the effort of cooking a magnificent roast. Shouldn't you make sure it has the presentation it deserves? Carve consistently, evenly, with this superior carving knife, even if you're left handed! Safety features allow you to use and store this tool with confidence.

1 out of 5 stars Exercise in utter frustration   August 20, 2008
Daniel C. Long (San Francisco, CA USA)
Where to begin? The motor is so light, that most of the time it cannot even cut through a marshmallow. Good thing it comes with a 3 year warranty, because now - in it's first year - we're up to replacement number three!

Please note that when you do contact the Cuisinart warranty department (and you will!), they will first try to convince you to exchange your purchase with Amazon.

The stand is laughable since it is extremely unstable and the electric cord *always* gets caught at the bottom when removing the handle, which means that both stand and second set of knifes go flying over the counter virtually every time you take out the handle. This could have worked if the stand were wall-mountable. It is not.

Have owned several less expensive electric knives. This one is head and shoulders better than any of the others and well worth the money.

Peggy (Queens, NY)
When it works, it is great. But I returned 2 of them after a short time because of it overheating or stopping totally.


1 out of 5 stars poorly manufactured appliance   July 4, 2008
James R. Millaway (memphis,tn)
This product is a piece of junk.My first knife quit after six months.The replacement I received lasted about nine months and customer service was totally uncooperative making me jump thru hoops as I sought to get another replacement.I gave up on this asI knew as I got nowhere with a rude,inconsiderate person.I am going to purchase another but I will never buy any Cuisinart product.
