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 or contour of the knife end. I read where others removed the plastic block, drilled new holes and moved it downward on the block about 1/2 an inch to accommodate the handle, but that would impact the blade holder as well, making it ineffective. After close inspection, one can see that the area that cradles the rear of the knife is actually a plastic insert, and it's shape suggests that it was designed for the previous version of this knife. I removed the two screws holding the plastic block onto the wooden block, then easily removed this plastic insert from the knife block, then reinstalled the plastic block onto the wooden block. The knife now fits perfectly.
I'm currently giving this product 4 stars because of the design flaw with the knife block. I find that inexcusable. I'll update my post after the holiday season, when this knife undergoes a real performance test.
First, we only use ours for cutting fresh bread, a loaf or two a week. No hard use at all.
Plan to have the switch quit working within the year, every year! We have went through four of them and now our guarantee is out. It has cost us a $5.00 bill and the trouble of shipping each time. All total it has probably cost us $70 to own this knife for four years and now it's done for. Not to mention the aggravation!
The switch is not really a switch after all. Under the small press button is a very thin piece of flat metal which acts as the spring as well as the contact "points" for turning it on. The metal is formed into two tiny, thin tabs that actually make contact with wires from the motor and "acts" like a switch. This a bad design because the small spark that the electrical contact makes each time it is turned on quickly burns through the thin metal and it will no longer close the circuit. No way to repair this because of molded plastic parts, etc.. Take my word for it! Just to get into the case requires "breaking" the glued gray end off of the case before the two main halves will separate to expose the problem contacts. I had hoped to find a real micro switch inside that I could replace. Not so! If you do get the gray end apart fairly cleanly you will then have to glue it back together which is not nice.
We never had the gear that everyone talks about give us a problem because we never tried to use the knife for carving. But, I did look it over while inside to see what others where having trouble with and sure enough we would have too if we had tried to carve anything. Just normal running in bread had already caused plastic shaving to be mixed with the grease from the gear and it was for certain the gear would have bit the dust if the switch hadn't first.
I promise you, I am very handy with fixing most things but this is NOT worth the trouble even though we love the basic design of this knife and wanted it to work out. Save yourself the headaches!
Cuisinart, use a METAL gear and a micro switch before this thing cost you your reputation! Selling your "name" and a "nice" design is not what we need!
