Excellent Product
This is by far the best carving knife I have ever used. I love the way it feels in my hand.
cuisinart electric knife
The Cuisinart electric knife appears well-made with metal drive parts. The knives are razor sharp and the cutting action is fast and smooth. Our Thanksgiving turkey was reduced to a pile of neat slices in no time.
Died within a year
Bought this knife less than a year ago. Used it maybe 20 times. Now, barely cuts through tender meat. I don't recommend it. Probably better to get the Black & Decker for 1/2 the price and replace it, if needed.
Exercise in utter frustration
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.
Outstanding knife
Have owned several less expensive electric knives. This one is head and shoulders better than any of the others and well worth the money.
