Handle Comfort

Pros:

  • "The ergonomic handle is so easy to hold, especially for arthritic hands."
  • "The handle is extremely comfortable."
  • "It is ergonomic for a comfortable grip."
  • "Very comfortable handle."
  • "Nice grip easy to hold."
  • "It fits in my hand well, and cuts through good old frozen pizzas with ease."
  • "The handle is nice, and the wheel rolls smoothly."

Cons:

  • "Don't buy. I was disappointed in this item. It's hard on the hand to use, and the handle had no grip for your hand."
  • "The cutter is fine, very nice size, but the handle is way too smooth and circular. It spins freely in your hand so you have to grip it much harder than necessary."
  • "Handle is too straight and slick."
  • "The handle is very 'flexy,' and it's obvious that there is not a full metal tang running through it."
  • "But the blade is super dull."
  • "This pizza cutter is attractive, and cuts pizza, but its design is not really comfortable for me."
  • "The one thing I don't like is how bulky it is."

Blade Performance

Pros:

  • "The blade to handle angle is ideal so you don't have to use excessive brute force to cut pizza."
  • "Nice, sharp, STURDY pizza cutter that get the job done."
  • "Very sharp and easy to control with no wobbling wheel. Easy to grip and very easy to clean."
  • "It's really smooth and cuts well. I'd buy it again."
  • "It cut my pizza easily and effectively."
  • "It rolls right through the dough, making clean cuts."
  • "Very sharp, cuts smoothly and easily."

Cons:

  • "This cutter not only did not cut through the pie, it ruins your pie by pulling everything with it as you move across the pie."
  • "I was shocked at how poor this pizza cutter is at cutting pizza."
  • "Sadly they don't cut pizza very well - it's fine but I've had other cutters that just rip through pizza and do a great job of it, with these you need to redo your lines."
  • "The blade just doesn't cut through the pizza without a struggle. When it gets to the crust it almost stops cutting and I have to force it to cut through to the edge."
  • "This is very dull and won't cut pizza."
  • "Well-made and design is fine but the blade isn't sharp enough to cut anything."
  • "This pizza cutter simply does not cut."

Size and Weight

Pros:

  • "The large 3.5 inch diameter of the wheel goes smoothly through the largest pizza."
  • "The larger wheel handles the job better and the handle is comfortable in my hand."
  • "It's so much larger than I expected, but it's a nice sturdy weight."
  • "It's enormous. That makes it easier to clean and more ergonomic."
  • "The wheel is actually pretty big which makes for applying pressure and cutting pizza a breeze."
  • "The pizza cutter is super big and strong. High quality!"
  • "Larger than any pizza cutter I have owned before but somehow the design of it seems to allow me to cut with less effort."

Cons:

  • "This expensive pizza wheel is of incredibly low quality... It's nothing but cheap, light and hollow plastic!"
  • "Very lightweight and thin."
  • "Pizza wheel does not work well; it’s too large to handle comfortably and the wheel is not sharp enough to cut through pizza without using considerable force."
  • "Being used to a smaller cutter, this one is a bit large in the hand."
  • "This pizza cutter is huge, it definitely looks good but some may find it to be too big, heavy and hard to cut."
  • "This was a lot larger than I thought it would be."
  • "Probably the worse cuter in existence."

Build Quality

Pros:

  • "Good heft, well built, solid."
  • "This is the best pizza cutter I’ve used. I had others that fell apart or rusted. This one is a few years old and still going strong!"
  • "Solid build no shaky blade as of yet."
  • "This is a very well made pizza cutter, way better than your dollar store versions."
  • "This a well built item which cuts very well."
  • "It’s dishwasher safe, sharp, durable and feels like it’ll last a long time."
  • "This KitchenAid Classic Pizza Wheel is a great addition to any kitchen."

Cons:

  • "The plating is chipping off the blade."
  • "While easy to hold, the handle seems flimsy."
  • "I have had this pizza cutter for less than seven months and the finish has been peeling off. It's now flaking off when it's touched."
  • "The screw quickly rusts and the chrome plating flakes off the plastic."
  • "Now they are living off their brand reputation while cheapening the products as much as possible."
  • "I found this purchase to be a waste of money."
  • "Kitchen Aid kitchen tools lack in quality. I won't be purchasing them any longer."

Safety and Cleaning

Pros:

  • "I also like that it came with a blade guard."
  • "It has a finger-protection shield, and it slices through pizza crusts of all types with ease."
  • "Also, based on reviews of other cutters, the guards on this cutter are very helpful."
  • "There is a decent sided guard to protect your fingers."
  • "It appears to be really well made and cleans up incredibly easy."
  • "Cleaning it is simple, we toss it in the dishwasher and it does great."
  • "Easy as can be to clean; it just goes into the dishwasher."

Cons:

  • "However, there is no guard for the blade after you're done with it so when it’s in your drawer and you're digging around there’s a possibility of cutting yourself."
  • "If the finger guard is going to be plastic with a thin layer of metal deposited on it then just don't put a finger guard."
  • "Only thing I wish was that it came with something to cover the blade."
  • "Gets the job done but wish it had a guard with it. It’s east to cut yourself unless you can store it in the knife drawer safely."
  • "I would have given this 5 stars as it gets the job done, but storing it without a cover is not preferred. Cover not included."
  • "I would never have bought this in store. Lousy replacement of my 20 yr old which has a great sheath."
  • "This pizza cutter simply does not cut."
