Nice to have
When I'm not using this to slice bread, I keep it underneath my toaster to catch crumbs.
no more mess
It was so easy to use and just pour the crumbs into the garbage when I was done. Rather than have crumbs all over the counter because there was nowhere for them to go. It didn't catch all of the crumbs, but the majority of them.
A useful thing to have around the kitchen
This little crumb box is perfect for those kinds of loaves from the bread machine. It comes apart to easily remove the crumbs. I like it!
Good for its price
I have owned and used Bartelt Crumb Box for several years and find that it is satisfactory, although it isn't large enough for more unusual sized breads such as challah loaves, etc. As the review warns, the wood really is not resistant to impact from the knives, and the "grill" section is badly scratched from normal use. Nonetheless, it is a fairly functional item.
