Beware - this is NOT the Genius Speed Slicer Plus
Unlike the previous reviewer, this is NOT the same product as the Genius Speed Slicer Plus that is sold on QVC. The description of the item on Amazon.com was sparse at best. After reading the previous person's review, one could only assume that the better deal was on Amazon.com, so I ordered it ($17.95 plus $5.99 shipping). However, upon receipt of the item, it was not the same. For one, there is no "kick-stand" as is on the Speed Slicer Plus. That may not be significant to some people, but that is helpful during the food prepping when the storage container isn't needed. I contacted the seller, who was very prompt in responding to my email. I thought perhaps the kick-stand was just missing. He said there is no kick-stand with this unit, and one is not available. He agreed to accept the return, of course for the purchase price only. I'm giving it 3 stars because I suppose it works as advertized. The best price is often with Amazon.com, but in this instance, this is not the...
Buy it here
I just purchased this exact slicer from a TV shopping channel at almost twice the price it is offered here, it taught me to check Amazon before I make any purchases anymore! Now onto this slicer, it works absolutely perfectly. It makes beautiful slices of just about anything and when the dicing blades are engaged you can make nice small to medium dices of onions, potatoes etc. I am in love with how well this works, so much better than my expensive stainless German import that I needed for my work. The fancy expensive one doesn't work half as good as this one does!
Not As Advertized - QVC has the real deal!!!
I agree with a previous reviewer; details on products are often missing or deceptive. I would suggest calling the retailer and getting an e-mail from them confirming details. If they cannot give them, avoid the seller. There's nothing in this box that measures 4"H. x 5"W.x 10"D except the box containing the product (even those measurements are a little off). The measurements of the slicer are: 1-9/16"H. x 3-1/2"W. x 11"L (including the handle for holding the tool while you use it). The slide width your tomato, etc., needs to fit in is only 2-3/4" wide. A lot of veggies will have to be cut down first in order to fit the slide area. This is a mini-slicer, not the full-size tool as I expected from the measurements given. Now that I've paid $24.81 (inc. S&H), I see the price has been cut to $11.00, a more accurate value. If Tri Sales Marketing doesn't adjust my purchase accordingly, they'll be on my "avoid" list. It's truth in advertising that wins repeat customers. I should have gone...
