Review on πŸ§€ Westmark 29272260 Gallant Cheese Slicer - Special Red/Black Edition, One Size by Cristina Villanueva

Revainrating 2 out of 5

My experience with the Special Gallant fell short of expectations

This review is for the Westmark 29272260 Special Gallant Replaceable Wire Slicer. Anyone who has used the Westmark Classic Plain Machine (P/N 71002270) knows that this is the gold standard for cheese slicers. Mine lasted about 7 years and I decided to replace it with a Gallant. The wire on the Galant lasted about 5 months. The included spare wires seemed large, and whether there was a trick to installing them wasn't obvious from the cryptic glyphs in the wordless instructions. I understand it's an international company that doesn't want to translate instructions into 50 languages, but if you're going down that route, your illustrations need to be clearer. got a good tension on the wire and finally cut off half of the screw cap and screwed it in place. I've never been satisfied with a brand's interchangeable wire cheese slicer, but I expected more from Westmark. Good news: I took another look at the classic Westmark food slicer. Turns out you can easily knock out the pins and replace the wire. I used one of Gallant's wires and it works great. I'll call on the Gallant guarantee and let you know how it goes. Note: I hand wash cheese slicers only.
