I think I forgot to post anything about the bread slicer I bought.
Done by hand before I got the slicer. Generally it was better than this but not always
The slicer. You might notice it has 3 widths to choose from. It means you need to take some out and move the loaf but that isn't a big deal and makes it more flexible.
From the slicer, one of my better "by hand" ones and the end
The knife that came with it is thinner than my long bread knife and cuts well though I wish it were a couple of inches longer. Many fairly short strokes needed to get down through the loaf without having the knife come out of the slicing guide on the far side. I still use that knife, at least with the King Arthur Basic Sourdough loaf because my wider knife tends to rip the bread more.
It seems very well made. Shown in the working position. For storage the guide is lifted out of the crumb/serving tray (which has holes in the end for carrying) then each side is slid a bit to the end (to "unlock") and flipped underneath the slicing base. It then stores in the tray. The box is only 2.5" high.
So far I'd give it

so I had to make a quick 13 mile round trip to the store. Plugged the Prime in when I got back, it will take about 2 kWh.
