Is it necessary to purchase the one with the cutter? Wouldn't the excess easily come off after sealed? Is it a clean edge if it does?

The excess does not peel off, unless you pull it off the teflon too soon. At that point it will leave a stringy mess. Buy one without the cutter and purchase a round sealing/cutting wire. It will do the two in one process.

This is a cheap plastic knockoff. The aie-300 is the real deal. Metal, and sturdy. Not plastic and flimsy. As for the cutter. Depending on what temperature you set the sealer at you can pull up and rip off the excess plastic (at the immediate end of the sealing cycle). It won't be a perfectly clean edge or tight seal on a consistent basis though.

I seal cd's and books. As soon as it seals I give a slight pull and I have a perfect edge.

Wish I could help, but I too, purchased a blade that would not cut. Lucky for me, that I bought two of them, the other cut just fine. But the one that didn't work, it was like it didn't have an edge on it. Perhaps it didn't. I tried and tried to use it, then finally gave up and put the other blade in and it cut through with ease, like a knife cutting through soft butter. I suggest you return that blade for another.

The one I received & have used a lot does not have sharp edges at all. In my case it is just what I wanted & would highly recommend it.

I don't have that problem at all. I would say you have a faulty product and should return it for replacement. I've had no problems with the cutter at all.

I'm sorry I don't understand your question?n I paid $59.99 for the sealer if that is what you are asking? And it does not have the cutter as I had hoped. One sealer - not four.

It comes with a sheath. A nice one but I cut mine pulling the blade back and forth. You'll probably do the same thing but not worry a few wraps of duct tape and good to go. In no way is this a negative for the overall from and function of blade and sheath. It made it better.

Mine came with both, as far as packageing goes it should be in a sealed plastic unit. They are easy to install removal is deliberate to remove a clip which is a real plus, it won't accidentally fall off. Careful with the provided sharpening stone...it works great but it will scrape the finish.

Nope, once opened the packaging is disposable and the blade exposed. You just need to find a safe place to store it :-) It's a greeeaaat knife!

no, it should be tightly sealed. On my original jar that is 10 yeas old, the rubber piece is cracking but neither it nor the blade is loose!

Hi Jon, I have not been able to use my food slicer yet, though the box was not damaged the blade was out of alignment and would not turn. The box did have additional taping on top of the original. Anyhow, after disassembling the blade and guide I found that the blade had gouged/cut into the safety rim. I'm not sure if that indicates the item was used at some point or bad Quality Control during assembly. I called Chicago Food multiple times and had a long wait time only to be disconnected each time so they do not seem to want to take customer calls. I'll update/Amazon when or if I ever get the unit running.

No, it is sealed securely and therefore "clean." I've never had a problem with these spatulas getting "crud" in the area where they're connected.

Just ordered the 15" version of this one as well actually (the wally-mart exclusive) . I actually like the look of the non-coated blade better. They are selling it for $12 right now too, so it was a deal too good to pass up ! Plus, when it comes to being prepared, one ever says they wish they had *fewer* machetes :-)

Cut mine(for a smoker), there was a little shedding but wasn't a big deal (for me), sure the edges could be finished with something

Just bottle and top no blade no need for extra blade I have been using mine for over a year without any problems! I like to have and extra bottle so I always have a clean one!

It comes with an extra blade. I use it quite a bit, and haven't had to change the blade yet. I'm very happy with the purchase and would buy another. It makes quick work of peeling and beats doing it by hand.

My unit came with a smooth blade. I did order the 7 1/2 " undulated blade on Amazon. Both work great. The undulated works on thin slicing the hard crusted sour breads.The blades are easy to change. This makes cleaning a breeze.

Is there a lasagna cutter? Even necessary?? It comes with a tagliatelle and tagliorini cutter - one thicker than the other
