Other Bread Slicer Brands: SOWKIPE, VEVOR, CUSIMAX, Piklohas, Norpro, Frieling and More

Brand or seller?

The bread slicer market on Amazon has a few brands with their own data – Zassenhaus, Graef, ritter for crank slicers, Akebono for guides – and many names that appear only as listings. For those, the listing is the only source: no data sheet, no manual we could read, often no brand website. On this site such products carry the label “Seller data only” and are options, never our pick. Two of these brands have their own pages: Brvclon and CAWIU. This page covers the rest.

The brands at a glance

Hand-crank slicers with listing data only

SOWKIPE

SOWKIPE sells its manual bread slicer for sourdough in two listings: a white version with adjustable hand crank and a cream version with a clear cover. Neither listing title gives a slice range, a blade size or a maximum loaf size, and we could not check a brand website. The cover is the only visible difference.

VEVOR

VEVOR sells two very different bread slicers. The manual CSD15 is listed with 0 to 0.6 inch thickness, a serrated stainless blade, an anti-cut hand clamp and four suction cups, at 12.2 × 10.04 × 7.48 inches and 4.7 lb, and is sold for cheese, bread, tofu and sausage. The other kind are commercial electric slicers – listed at 370 W, 120 V and one fixed 12 mm thickness – that belong in a bakery, not a kitchen; see electric bread slicers. The broader question of one slicer for bread and cheese is on manual food slicer.

CUSIMAX

The CUSIMAX manual bread slicer for homemade sourdough is listed with a hand crank, adjustable thickness and a stainless steel blade – and nothing more in the title. The brand website returned an access error, so we could not check for a data sheet.

Brands that sell slicing guides, not crank slicers

Piklohas describes its Manual Bread Slicer for Homemade Bread as a wooden guide: three height options, a crumb catcher, a magnetic side for the bread knife, no assembly and a lifetime warranty. It lists no dimensions and no loaf size. Piklohas also sells bread knives.

Norpro makes the 370 Bread Slicer with Crumb Catcher, a guide with acrylic slicing guides and a removable crumb catcher, 12.38 × 6.25 × 1.75 inches and 1.93 lb. Norpro's care advice: empty the crumb catcher and wipe with a damp cloth.

Neither guide is in our Amazon data. Guides with crumb trays that are, including the Akebono PS-955 with a published loaf limit, are compared on bread board with crumb catcher.

Frieling and Cuisinart: known names, other products

A “Frieling bread slicer” is a Zassenhaus. Frieling's brand page names exclusive US distribution of Zassenhaus and lists the Classic in black, red, cream and gray (7.5 in high, 10 in deep, 12 in long) and the Vintage in chrome and black. The Classic is covered on Zassenhaus Classic, the brand on Zassenhaus bread slicers.

A “Cuisinart bread slicer” in our data is the electric Kitchen Pro FS-75: a 130 W food slicer with a 7.5-inch serrated blade that cuts from 1/32 to 1/2 inch. Whether a meat slicer is a good bread slicer is answered on can you slice bread with a meat slicer.

Luvina, Brito, Estella and others

We found no maker page for a Luvina, Brito or Estella bread slicer, and none is in the Amazon data behind this site; luvina.com is not a kitchen brand site. OXO, KitchenAid and King Arthur Baking are searched together with “bread slicer” too, but we have not checked what they sell under that name. We do not describe products we could not read about.

Our recommendation

If you want a crank slicer with documented specs, these brands are not the place to start. The Zassenhaus Classic^* is the crank slicer with a retailer data sheet: 1 to 18 mm stepless, 5.3 lb, a die-cast and stainless body, four suction feet and a blade made in Solingen – in the premium price class.

Our pick: hand-crank slicerZassenhaus

Zassenhaus Classic

The classic rotary bread slicer: serrated Solingen blade, crank, beechwood base – no motor, no cord.

Why here: The documented alternative to listing-only brands: stated slice range, size and weight.

Best for: Households that mostly slice bread and want a brand crank slicer with documented specs and a compact footprint.

Strengths

• Stepless 1–18 mm (about 1/25–0.7 in) – from thin sandwich slices to thick toast
• Die-cast and stainless steel body on a beechwood base, four suction feet
• Smallest footprint of the brand hand-crank slicers in our comparison

Weaknesses

• No carriage and no end-piece holder listed – the last piece of the loaf needs care
• Premium price class, several times the unbranded crank slicers
• Only the blade is documented as made in Solingen; retailers list the Czech Republic as country of origin

If the budget class matters more, compare the listing-only crank slicers side by side on hand-crank bread slicers and check the return policy before you buy. All slicers with specs are in our comparison of manual bread slicers, and the manual bread slicer overview explains crank slicers and guides.
