About the Slice-O-Matic

Lauding a 30-point gear system that is supposed to easily cut through food, the Slice-O-Matic is a kitchen appliance that is advertised as a way to effortlessly reduce preparation time of meals. An easy glide handle which spontaneously retracts after pressing it is extolled with the exclamation that “It does the work for you.” Other features include conformable setting which alter the diameter of slices and a catch container which is supposed to keep your counter tops clean. The website claims that “Its so easy anyone can use it!”

How Much Does the Slice-O-Matic Cost?

Although the commercial claims the Slice-O-Matic is $19.99, a look at the asseenontv.com website reports current savings of 50% for a price of $9.95. The Slice-O-Matic comes with two blades, one of which is a julienne blade.

Slice-O-Matic Reviews

In searching the internet for information on the Slice-O-Matic, I came upon a succession of news reports reviewing the product. These reviews (below) are not sorted, but they are simply the first 10 of this kind that I found. 8 of these 10 reviews include video demonstrations.

  • WVEC – Norfolk, VA – A video of a nutritional chef trying out the Slice-O-Matic. Claims of confusing instructions, difficult operation, and that a sharp knife would be quicker and less messy.
  • KFVS – Marion, IL – Video presentation with claims of repeated jamming, cheap design, and that a knife is much quicker.
  • KLTV – Tyler, TX – Print review with claims that tomatoes and onions were too big to slice, it was messy, it wouldn’t stay in place, and that a knife would be quicker.
  • KGAN – Cedar Rapids, IA – Video spectacle in which the Slice-O-Matic jams. The newscasters also seem to be confused with how to properly operate the Slice-O-Matic.
  • WBRZ – Baton Rouge, LA – Video of a professional chef testing the Slice-O-Matic. It jams twice, takes him 10 minutes to switch the blades, and he is confused by the instructions. Verdict: a sharp knife works better.
  • WXIA – Altanta, GA (No longer online) – Yet another video demonstration. As with the last video, it starts out well, but jams when they switch to the julienne blade.
  • WHNT – Huntsville, AL – Video test in which the julienne blades fails to cut anything. The reporter concludes by saying a knife would have been much quicker and efficient.
  • WSFA – Montgomery, AL – Print review with claims of continuous jams, and that potatoes, onions, apples, lemons, and peppers would not properly fit in the Slice-O-Matic. Conclusion: a knife would work better.
  • Fox 4 – Kansas City, MO – A mother and daughter test the Slice-O-Matic along with a news reporter. Starts off well, but gradually deteriorates. They acknowledge that the Slice-O-Matic may be safer than a knife, but that a knife would be easier to use.

Bottom Line

The consensus of reviews above for Slice-O-Matic is uniformly negative. A sharp kitchen knife is probably quicker, easier, and less messy to use for slicing and chopping fruits and vegetables.
