Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Progressive International Clearly Fresh Bread Keeper
Customer Review: Really Works!
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this item becuase we only eat home made bread. This really does keep our bread fresh~! It also has kept us from wasting a lot of bread. We (house of 3) were going through almost 3 loaves a week just for toast, sandwiches and french toast. But now that we can slice them evenly we go through 1 and a half loaves.
I only gave it 4 stars because 1. I cant used my electric knife. The blades get caught due to them being too short. 2. The plastic guide prongs bend easily so I know someday (hopefully not soon) they will break off when slicing manually.They need to make something for you to hold on to while slicing. 3.There are deep knife markings on the bottom already. I try not to think that we may have eaten some plastic.
Customer Review: Happy with purchased bread keeper
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a gift for my Dad who had a similar item that eventually fell apart from years of use. I was a little disappointed that the box is alot larger around than a loaf of purchased bread but I believe it will still prove a useful container. Shipment was fast and the item was very well packaged. Overall, I am very happy with the purchase.Customer Review: not a good complement

Steams up and keep it wet. So the issue is soggy bread or mold. Can put in cold bread and should be okay Customer Review: good for the money
Summary: 5 Stars
I wasn't sure I was going to like this bread keeper. Two things determined it. Everyone complained about it being cumberson and how hard it was to open and close,I agreed, until my handyman husband drilled holes and on each end and put knobs on there. It opens and closes great now. I love how easy it is to manage. Also I was trying to use my serrated knife and sometimes it would cut the slicer and didn't cut the bread good. I bought a reg. bread knife and now it slices good through the teeth of the slicer. So now I am happy with the bread keeper it makes a good place to keep my homemade bread and the container looks pretty with the silver knobs on it.Customer Review: Clunky container, useless slicer.
Summary: 1 Stars
The clear enclosure seems sturdy and looks okay, but it really is a hassle to use, because of the way they fit together. It's even more complicated if you store the slicing guide inside with it (which is the entire point of the unit).
For the price, I was willing to overlook the slight awkwardness of the enclosure. What I am not willing to over look is that the slicing guide was damaged after the first slice of bread.
The problem is that the slicing guide is made of plastic and the guides are not spaced far enough apart to fit a decent bread knife. So, as you slice your bread, you also shave off huge chunks of the guide. As if that weren't bad enough, doing this caused the plastic slices to get embedded in my sliced bread, which I had to pick out with tweezers before it was edible.
This is an absolutely flawed and failed product that nobody should buy. Face the higher price and buy a real bread box and then buy a separate slicing guide that is nothing *but* a slicing guide.
