The type of blade that comes standard with the slicer.
All knives used in this category of kitchen appliances are circular, rotating, and the blade in them goes in a circle. But the shape of this blade can be different — it is in this parameter that the types of knives differ from each other.
—
Straight. Knives with a traditional straight blade are basic and affordable, yet with proper sharpening and skill, they can handle various slicing tasks effectively. They excel with products of uniform consistency like cheese but may be less effective for slicing non-uniform density items such as bread compared to knives with wavy or notched blades.
—
Wavy. Knives with a wave-shaped blade are more difficult to manufacture and more expensive than straight ones. On the other hand, they do an excellent job not only with homogeneous products, but also with those that have different density — like ham with a crust.
—
Serrated. Serrated knives have sharpening in the form of pronounced sharp teeth, resembling those of a circular saw. They are beneficial for slicing products with varying density, similar to wavy blades. Serrated knives are particularly effective for cutting vegetables and fruits with tough peels and soft cores, like tomatoes or peaches. However, these knives tend to be more expensive due to their specialized design.

...te that some models may come with several removable blades of different types. This allows you to choose an option depending on the situation — for example, cut the cheese with a straight knife, and put the wavy one only when really necessary, so as not to wear it out much.The presence
of a compartment for the power cord in the design of the slicer.
This feature greatly simplifies the storage and transportation of the device: the cord can be placed compactly inside the slicer body, and it will not hang out, cling to other objects and create other inconveniences. And in some models, the compartment may have devices for uniform winding, which makes it easier to lay the wire and avoid damage due to bending.
