Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The Rival® Slicer (Model 1060C) is a generally well designed unit. I say generally because there appears, in my unqualified opinion, to be one major design and/or manufacturing flaw associated with the product.
The first unit I received had a broken speed control knob that prevented any speed adjustment. This unit was exchanged (thank you Amazon for making that process painlessly easy) for another. This second unit also had a broken speed control knob, the failure point being identical to the first. The stem on the speed control knob is either woefully under designed or it is being forced into the wrong position (it has a detent) during assembly. This is really too bad since the unit looks like it would do the job for which it is intended quite well.
What's good about this product:
- heavy-duty construction (parts I expected to be plastic are made from cast aluminum)
- heavy-duty, thick stainless steel blade - removable for cleaning
- angled slicing surface
- tray to catch the slices of what ever
- cuts up to 5/8" slices
- integrated cutting board
What's not so good about this product:
- There are rubber suction cups on the four bottom corners to protect the surface the unit is sitting on and hold it in place while it's being used. This would be a great feature except that the suction cups stick to the surface and pull out of the unit when it is lifted up.
- the speed control knob as stated above (and sole reason for number 1 rating).
