The Fox Run 5047 Adjustable Cheese Slicer was a replacement for another slicer we had used for some time. The Fox Run model was better quality with a sturdier feel and better materials then our old one. The ole one was not adjustable, so that feature was a key feature in selecting the Fox Run slicer. We actually bought 2 and gave one to our daughter-in-law. She too, noted the quality. We have only used it a few times so far and are anxious to see how long the cutting wire hold up. But, we are very satisfied with the purchase of this item.

The wire used isn't tight enough to keep from bowing out to as much as 3/4 inch. The cheese slice is thin to thick! The plastic roller is soo tight that it doesn't roll at all! You can force it to move with a lot of finger strength, but it won't roll on the cheese. It just slides. There is not any way to tighten the wire so I don't think anyone should buy this product. Its certainly not worth the money! Mike Anderson....Idaho

The wire broke on my old 1. I put another thin piece of wire on it. It wouldn't stay tight enough to suit me. It was used for several years, before the wire broke. I was happy to see the new 1 came with a replacement wire. I didn't pay attention and see that when I ordered it. I would recommend this product to any cheese lover.

This slicer works better than some, but there's always a problem getting all the way through the slice without the cheese crumbling at the bottom. Also the wire breaks sooner or later, and while it comes with an extra wire, it's not easy to put the new wire on tightly enough to work well. I'm still looking for the perfect slicer.

It looks nice, but to adjust the width of the cheese slice, you have to remove the screw completely, and manually move the adjustable part, the part with the roller (the roller is very stiff and difficult to roll also). The part doesn't slide; it physically comes off and I had to push it back on and then replace the screw. I am going to put it in one position and leave it there rather than go through all this every time I want to adjust it. Also, there is always the danger of dropping the screw during this adjustment process.

The slicer does what it is designed for, but falls short of my expectations. The adjustable mechanism lacks support on the outside ends of the slicer, resulting in a product that is more flimsy than I expected. Its price reflects its quality. I have since purchased one that is more pricey that possesses the stability I want.

Works really nice cutting cheese slices. The only con is that I can't get the slices thin enough when making grilled cheese. That was a bummer, as that was one of the reasons I purchased it.

We had one like this growing up and it is the best type of cheese cutter. So glad I found it

I adjusted the depth of the cutter, as I prefer thinner slices. It was a breeze to adjust. I prefer Tillamook cheese, which is pretty dense, so I've been careful not to cut too fast with it. I appreciate the extra wire, as I fear that cutting this dense cheese may cause it to break, but so far it's holding up well. It is built like my old vintage slicer except the white roller is stble instead of turning as it cuts, but that's ok, too. I do like it a lot.

We tried the local stores 9Walmart, Target, Lowes, and so forth) to find an adjustable cheese slicer. The only things showing were those non-adjustable, "Professional Slicer" models, which in our opinion, are useless. Give me an adjustable any time. It's convenient, each slice is uniform, and it's easy to handle and clean.
