Thanks for that Pink-Winged. Did'nt realise Argos did one, Will give that a try I think. I sliced the tip of my finger off yesterday trying to slice the bread thinner, so abit fed up now ..hehe

That is the one I've had my eye on for some time now as he also sells them on Ebay, so I'm pleased to see the £30 off, thanks! :j

I too have the Kenwood slicer - it's fantastic, but I agree that the cleaning is a pain.

Just been in argos and brought a cookworks slicer £29.99 and its ab fab really good i dont think the motor would be anygood for anything other than bread but its sliced a full loaf lovely about each slice less than 5mm :j

Hi owens,

I have that slicer too and it's great for meat and cheese as well. I've added your post to the recent thread on slicers as it helps to keep all the replies together.

Does the Argos one fold up in any way? That was what I liked the look of with the Kenwood one.

Just after replying to this I went to use mine and I have lost the thing that you push the food along with I can't find it anywhere and being clumsy I need one, wonder if Kenwood still do the spares for them before I loose part/all of my fingers

So I now see what all the fuss was about with the Panny breadmaker. Got one last night for my birthday (which is today) and I've already made two loaves (and the first one was devoured by 3 of us in record time). Amazing bread!

I'm already struggling with cutting the bread - the slices are just too thick. I've done some investigating and I think I should buy one of the above two items for making life easier (once I have sold more of my chickens eggs and saved up for one of course). I'm more inclined to go with the kenwood...but wondered if anyone had one and had any issues?

The lakeland bread slicer looks good, but just too fiddly....or can anyone convince me otherwise.
