Cuisinart CEK-40 Electric Knife -- needs to be modified
I bought this knife and wanted to use it to carve up a roasted pig for a luau party I was having. The knife was a little under powered, it seemed to struggle when cutting larger slices. The pig was quite large (60 lbs) and after about 20 minutes of continuous use the knife became quite warm and stopped working. After a few choice explectives I handed it to my husband. Lucky for me my husband is a mechanical engineer who owns his own business which includes a metal working machine shop. Later that week he took it apart and discovered that there is a very fragile plastic Nylon gear that is part of the main drive. The plastic teeth on the gear were stripped and that is why the knife stopped working. He told me he did a few quick gear calculations (he is a smart fellow) and determined that the plastic nylon gear teeth strength was way underpowered for the design. He was able to make a duplicate gear out of stainless steel in his machine shop and assembled the new metal gear into the knife replacing the junk plastic one. Since that time the knife has worked flawless. I have since carved all sorts of roasts, pork, turkeys and no matter how long or hard the carving is, even if I hit a bone, it never stopped working. The Cuisinart engineers should be embarrased, this is such an easy fix to make (all they need to do is change out the Plastic nylon gear for a metal one, maybe cost them an extra 10 cents?), it is like they never did any research and developement on this product because I know if they tried to cut anything other then bread the dam knife would stop working after about 10 minutes of use. I would say that all the good reviews here are from people slicing bread, if you want to slice meat and use the knife for more then 10 minutes you will need to find an engineer and a machine shop to replace the plastic gear, after that it works great.

Best Electric Knife out there
This is my first electric knife, and I'm glad I read the reviews here on it before buying it.Works like a charm, easy to clean and operate, and makes slicing our homemade bread very easy.
Slow start for cutting.
When the knife 1st touches the surface of the food you are going to cut, it it takes more effort to get started.I primarly use my knife for carvingrib-roast. ... Read more

Editorial Review

No special expertise is required to cut professional-looking slices, thick or thin, from roasts, ham, turkey, and bread with the powerful 100-watt electric knife in this carving set. Just grasp the handle, pull the trigger, draw the knife in a straight line, and let the two serrated blades, which saw back and forth at high speed, do the work. It's effortless and safe. The knife comes with a two-pronged fork in a compact (15 by 5 by 2-7/8 inches) storage case made of flexible plastic, with a foam insert molded to hold the set. The 7-1/2-inch knife blades and the 12-inch fork are made of stainless steel. The fork is dishwasher-safe, but the blades should be hand washed in hot, soapy water. Read more

DREADFUL
Terrible ergonomics!It was SO difficult and uncomfortable to keep the trigger engaged and carve at the same time.My hand was ACHING by the time I'd carved the brisket.I've never used a more awkward or uncomfortable appliance!

Great Knife
I replaced my 35+ year old electric knife with this one - wow, I didn't realize how dull it had gotten! I like the case - it was a little tricky to get into the first time, but the old one didn't have one - it's nice to be able to store it all together. Nice and sharp.

1 year of slicing roasts and still carving
This knife works nicely. The blades have remained sharp after carving roasted chicken and turkey, roast beef, and yes even cakes over the past year.

Cook's Illustrated rates this #1
The only other reviewer gave this only two start because they said that meat getting in between the two blades rendered the knife useless for cutting meats.I am going to purchase this knife based on the following review from Cook's Illustrated and I quote word for word:"The Black & Decker EK800 Slice Right is every bit as good as its predecessor (the Ergo).It exeduted all tasks perfectly." ...

Lasted 3 days
I purchased this knife for cutting home-made bread in a slicing-guide. While I liked the look and feel of the knife, it lasted about three days - after that the blade would "wiggle", but wouldn't actually cut anything. Amazon happily took a return, and I will be looking for another electric knife to try. ... Read more

Met my low expectations!
Actually carved my turkey very nicely.But the locking mechanism for the blades broke the very first time it was used.

Returned the product !
This was supposed to be a new item.It definately wasn't.The Proctor label on the handle was worn and the blades were dirty.I was very disappointed!

Awful Product

Fantastic value and quality product for the price, recommend
I shopped at many places and saw many electric knives before I decided to buy this set. I am so glad I waited to make my purchase. The knife is beautiful, and it makes a clean smooth cut. I am impressed with the quality for the price. I loved getting the matching serving fork as an extra in the set. I have used this knife on brisket, ribs, and a prime rib and I am totally satisfied.

wrong product
I ordered an electric knife and was sent a blender.Apparently the item number on the website belongs to the blender and not the knife.I returned the product and had no problem getting my money back.Im satisfied with the service i received with the refund but im unhappy that i was shipped the wrong product.

Beautiful marriage of power + value + reliability
This really fine product -- and our purchase of same -- was the result of a fairly exhaustive research of the electric knife genre.We had a 2-bladed GE that served our needs for over 30 years.We expect this Farberware product to match the long-term life of its predecessor:It holds the highest power-rating of its competition across the brands -- guaranteeing a longer useful life (less stress on the motor).It comes with two blades, while most offer but one.We used it for a dinner for (many) friends at New Year's -- and liked the "feel" of the knife in actual use -- and its ability to get the job done.What a deal! ...
