Steve: Have not had an electric knife in many years. I needed one for Thanksgiving as we had quite a large group. The knife performed very well, easily carving up large turkey breasts, and did so quickly. We bought a couple of precooked chickens at the market for test runs and it carved them flawlessly. My only concern when I purchased this was the length of the blades. My old knife from 20+ years ago had longer ones. No concern at all after using this. Good name, very sharp blades, easy to hold an maneuver, no shredding of the meat.....you can't go wrong. Highly recommend.

Maggie: My ancient electric knife finally died. Looked for a replacement. A bit disappointed that this one is a bit heavy making it rather hard to hold. It did cut through my cold hard brisket! I think next time, I will cut it up before I refrigerate the meat! Sliced bread so easily. Like it that it has its own docking station. The carving fork was a plus. Loved the longer prongs that held the brisket securely while I sawed away at it. Excellent product and would recommend it especially for the holiday meals!

APB: Yo lo compre para mi madre, qué hace pan, la función de partir pan que es integral o frances de costra dura la falda sin ningún problema, no pesa, es seguro para una persona de la tercera edad, o malo pienso es que busque refacción de la cuchilla y no encontre.

Ricardo Hernandez: Llego en tiempo, lo pedimos para la pierna de fin de año y fue un éxito, lo recomiendo, es de calidad.

Eso si hace ruido por el motora que trae, pero corta muy bien 👍🏽

FR21FR21: No complaints from me on this knife and I'm super happy with my purchase. It cuts bread from the machine perfectly and its so much easier to make proper slices now. The blades clip in super easy and come off just as easy. It comes with a nice stand to keep everything nice and tidy. I kept the box and just store it that way and it's super convenient. I've also cooked a ham a couple of times and it did a great job on that too.

alan patersonalan paterson: I like everything about this electric knife!
Many people complained the handle won't fit into the stand
I added 4 photos
1 loop the electric cord through the slot
2 hold handle and with other hand and gently wiggle the cord until the base is seated
3 insert into the top slot and with thumb push down until the handle Clicks into place
4 in the photo you can see that the handle is very tightly
secured even shaking the whole board up and down!

Some people say this machine easily overheats?
Never let this machine run continuously ... think electric drill .. same thing!
instead .. take your finger off the trigger after every slice for approximately 1 or 2 seconds
this is also why some people complain that it is not Ergonomic to use
because they hold the trigger down continuously,
and also again this is not good for the motor!

When slicing meat .. think Delli .. they slice from the edge of the large piece of meat
and never in the middle .. and besides this electric knife is not designed
for this purpose or for trying to slice bones?
yup some people try to slice bones and then say this knife is no...

Duane A. Priest: When my old GE electric knife died, it was a sad day. My 30-year-old knife had served me well, but when the motor failed, it was done and I had to find an appropriate replacement. Of all that I found, I like the design of this product best. I read lots of reviews, both good and bad, and read product comparisons through many articles and decided to take a chance on this product. I've not really used it much yet, but so far it's meeting my expectations.

One of the things I like best is how the safety switch works... unlike other knives that require you to depress a slide button in the trigger each time you start the knife, this one clicks and stays in a locked or unlocked position, just like my old GE. If I had to use two hands to unlock the switch each time I started the knife, I would be throwing it out in short order. Safety is important, but overall usability is why we choose products.

As everyone else has said, the knife motor section simply doesn't fit in its holder in the knife block. After looking at the block for about 1 minute, it became quite clear that the plastic "holder" for the back end of the knife was not made to fit the shape...

Jeff Switzer: This knife replaced an electric knife lost in a house fire.

I first purchased a different brand, a Hamilton Beach Model 74275, that was unsatisfactory. It didn't cut as well as this unit and felt unbalanced, but worse the Hamilton Beach has a blade release button right where one's thumb rests when using the device In my opinion this design is a safety hazard and at a minimum made the knife almost unusable for me.

I also tried using a well-reviewed, regular carving knife as a replacement for my electric knife, but I'm frankly not good enough with a knife to make that a viable choice.

On to the review of the Cuisinart CEK-40 Electric Knife...

The Cuisinart is a high quality product. It feels high quality, that is, solid with good materials. In use it cuts easily through turkeys at holidays, which is my normal use for the product. The knife has good balancer in use and is quiet. The blades are easy to remove for washing but are unlikely to be removed accidently. The knife also comes with blades to cut bread. I haven't used the knife in that application but the bread cutting blades look very solid and well made.
