Watermelon Slicer & Cutter by Sleeké - New Extended Silicone Cushioned Handle Made to Slice and Serve with Ease - Stainless Steel - No Mess, Less Stress

Let me say that I am not usually one to leave reviews unless I am extremely happy or totally frustrated with a product. With the Sleeke slicer I was PLEASANTLY SURPRISED by how they were able to improve over the other slicers out there. Last month I was gifted a generic watermelon slicer (all steel), only to struggle and eventually end up cutting myself in the process and breaking the wire! I was frustrated because I love watermelon and so do my kids however cutting it with a knife always ended with a mess in the kitchen.After purchasing this beautifully designed product, I was thrilled to open the box to find a lovely insert that detailed the process along with my bright coral slicer. The handle on this new watermelon slicer is by far the most comfortable one I have used, it is very well made and allowed me to slice watermelons with ease. I think the word is ergonomic...basically it fit perfectly in my hand with just the right curvature and soft feel. Not going to lie I tried to use it on cake :) and it worked! Tell me I am corny but the message on the inside of the packaging was super cute too :)Like I said I usually don't leave reviews, I have to say it’s a great addition to the kitchen and an easy solution for any mother who wants to provide a nutritious snack for the family without the headache of cleaning and using a knife.

I like to go straight to the pro’s and con’s with my review. Hopefully you will find it helpful!!Pros:Does not cut my hand like other models out there.The slicing wire is EXTRA thick for durability, its doesnt bend it doesn't warp...trust me I tried extra hard to test it out.Great video and insert for instruction, very well explained. 2 minutes and you're slicing like a PRO.Clean cuts every time. And you can vary the width.ABOVE ALL IS THE WARRANTY, THEY REALLY BELIEVE IN THEIR PRODUCT!Not that packaging adds to the experience of the product but GREAT PACKAGING and design work feels really friendly and fun.Cons:Do not start slicing without reading the instructions first! Its seems like an easy out of the box ready to use item but 2 min of video instructions are required.I would love another color option, neon coral and neon green is great...but I would love if there was maybe a gray option to match my kitchen utensils.

I’ve been using a watermelon slicer that I bought from the Grommet for about two years, and while I was waiting for a replacement t (mine lasted two summers), I ordered this one as a temporary stand in. I wanted to love it, but the construction was poor. The slicing wire was far too the Cu for a clean cut, and the rings kept squishing together, keeping me from getting a clean cut. We go through about 3 watermelons a week in our house, so it’s gotten plenty of use — but not the same crisp and fast cuts I got from my Grommet version. (Shame, because the company marketing this one has obviously been thoughtful about a lot of the elements, like the easy grip tong handles—and delivery time is way faster.) Will be reverting to the Grommet’s once it arrives in the mail.

In all honesty, even with many rave reviews on this slicer, I expected a 'wimpy little girl toy' that that would fall apart after a few uses. NOT GONNA HAPPEN!! The thick rubberized handle on this jewel tool fits my large 'man hand' comfortably and even with NO SHARP EDGES with the polished stainless steel blades it cleaned all the yummy right down to, but NOT INTO the rind. No going back to the old hack-a-finger days for this watermelon lover!!

I have purchased 3 of these watermelon slicers over the years from ebay and other places and they would always end up breaking after about4-5 watermelons. I got tired of the extremely cheap ones so looked on Amazon and saw this one. It looked heavy duty and I was so excited when I opened the box and saw how well it looked like it was made. Well to my surprise, it didn't last through one watermelon without breaking. I did the first half of the melon with no problems, about 2/3 through the last half it just came apart. I was so disgusted. Biggest piece of junk I have purchased to date. Guess I will go back to using the ultra cheap looking ones cause at least they would last a few watermelons. I would not recommend this at all.

Old School big knife melon slicer that I am I bought and used this tool after examining 4 similar. I watched the YouTube demo then cut up two large watermelon this week. What works best for me is to put melons in the kitchen sink so it can be braced better than on the countertop. I have a more efficient and forceful stroke with the melon at a lower height, less scrap pieces to spoon out as well. I don't miss all the wet slice and dice either so the Old School technique is now the province of cantaloupe and honeydew only. Nice tool with one caveat: one needs a strong grip and determined attitude to use well. Those with lesser physical attributes may prefer to remain with the knife.

Really cool new product. Sure I can use a knife, but what’s the point. Someone created a way to make slicing watermelon easier and faster. A lot faster. I can slice up a watermelon in under 2 minutes.It leaves a tiny bit of watermelon juice on the bottom, but that’s fine. I prefer that than it being all over the table. Really comfortable handle. The silicone handle is definitely a good touch. Had no problems getting it right from the first try. Very nice packaging and instructions are included clearly explaining how to use this thing.I see this slicer being really handy when I invite the family over or have a larger party. I’d say that I would need to serve at least a watermelon and a half. The kids always get served slices without the rind so this takes care of that right away. Less mess to deal with. I just carve out the slices and throw the whole rind out. Maybe i’ll try one of those sangria bowls using it. That could be fun.All in all its a great little tool. We always eat watermelon so it made sense to get one. Going to recommend this one to my sister!

End round bar is too thick; I can’t cut thru watermelon near the shell smoothly. I can use a simple knife and be faster .Update: thanks to the seller to reach out and refund the cost.

Well built and does what it's suppose to do. Like the covered handle
