How long does it last with moderate usage? (ex. cut bread or fruits etc.)

I wouldn't use it for cutting up food... However I've had it for a few months and it's beginning to dull

Should be fine for fruits and bread but using as a utility type of knife inst such a good idea. The blade may become loose as it did to me

I only have it a little more than 3 months and it's still works great. I regret that I did not buy a 4 slice model though, since I hate waiting to do the other 2 slices!

I'd say you can expect about 45 mins to an hour if you run it pretty constantly. It does go from strong cutting to dead pretty quickly, meaning it will cut well to the end.

Hi there. We have owned the Cuisinart for about a year. It has proven to be reliable and bakes great tasting bread.

It depends on how much you use it. I have only been using it in bread and spice banana loaf.

About 4 months and I use it almost everyday. I do biscuits and sausage for breakfast and a lot of steak and chicken for supper.

Hi: I think it was two years. I bought it back in January 2014. I use it for everything, from making shakes to chopping up old newspaper to make recycle paper for my boy scout's "pulp and paper" merit badge. Have fun!

Ours has seen heavy usage for over two years, and I still don't think it needs sharpening. It still slices easily.

That's difficult to answer. It depends on how often you use it and for how long.

I bought one Zyliss bread knife for me and one for my son and his wife. Mine sits on a cutting board on my counter and has been used daily for almost a year. Great knife! I have 2 other bread knives that have been "retired" and are only used if I need to take a bread knife to another place. My son is happy with the knife I gave him but they did not have any other serrated knife so I imagine he would have been happy with any serrated knife.

I have had mine for many years and it still works like a charm. After I am almost to the bottom of the pineapple, I pull the slicer up a bit and then cut the bottom of the pineapple off. I have always washed mine by hand. And while I don't use it everyday, it gets used at least once a month.

I have used it on bulk lunch meats and block cheese. Cut both, it is not fast but I am quite happy with the purchase. I would suggest placing soft items in the freezer for 15-30 minutes to firm them up. I found this made the slicing easier.

As I recall, this machine was a piece of C**p. It did not last long at all and it wasn't cheap. I now have a Sharp, which seems to be holding up pretty well. Good luck!

Obviously, it depends on how often you use it, however. I don't use it every day and it lasted a long time.

I have had mine for 3 yrs or so...strictly used in a home setting. Probably not built to take continual use in an office. I have yet to replace any parts, including the cutter wheel. Real nice trimmer. Hope this helps.

It is a good gadget, mine is still working. Make sure you remove the shavings on time and regularly clean the cutter gently, can use an old toothbrush.

Depends of how quickly you'll use it. We use it in the morning cereal and for baking bread. It usually lasts me up to 6 months and I just reseal the bag. However last time I had a bug problem. That is why I am trying a trick my mom use to do. Freeze for a couple of days and then you can leave it out. Before you put it in the freezer, put another plastic bag around. That is supposed to kill whatever the bugs like in the seeds ...
