This was given as part of a wedding gift set. I have not heard pro nor con from the receiving couple.

I am quite disappointed with this product. It sticks to the bagel and makes it very difficult to cut. Also, it is very difficult to clean. My son-in-law won't use it any more and wants me to send this back.

This item was a gift for my mother. I bought her one of these years ago and it finally needed replacing. It cuts with ease and is the best at slicing bagels. I definitely recommend this product if you are a bagel lover.

I love the Bagel Biter. It's great for slicing + it's made in the USA. It's extremely durable and easy to wash and clean. I bought mine to protect my fingers and to get an evenly sliced bagel. It really does the trick. Buy this product!!!!

I love bagels, but am not very good with sharp knives, and every time I had to slice a bagel, my prime concern was not to have an "even" two halves, but to get through the procedure without cutting myself. I still have a scar on my right index finger from a knife wound I inflicted on myself when I was seven years old - yes, I was trying to slice a bagel, and this was more years ago then I even want to acknowledge. This Larien Bagel Biter is the perfect solution. You put the bagel in, lift the blade handle, and slice it. I wouldn't let little kids use it because there is a possible danger of their cutting themselves on the blade (which will happen if you don't read the very easy directions, but even they can be trained to use this wonderful little appliance. I am incredibly happy to have acquired this little wonder-machine in my kitchen. It's a vital commodity for bagel-lovers.
