In our test series "The Great Egg Slicer Test," we take a closer look at the Metaltex 204500014 egg slicer, which is one of the most affordable models on the market with a price of around 5 Euros. We have chosen the white version and will find out if this budget-friendly egg slicer can live up to expectations.
The Metaltex 204500014 egg slicer is available in two colors on Amazon: black and white. We chose the white version, as the price difference between the two colors is not too significant, and we do not expect any differences in cutting performance. With a total of 1,118 customer reviews and an average rating of 3.9 out of 5 stars, the Metaltex egg slicer seems to leave a good impression among buyers. In this review, we will examine the handling, cutting performance, and material quality of the Metaltex 204500014 egg slicer to determine if it justifies its affordable price and if it can keep up with more expensive models on the market.
How we test egg slicers: Our comprehensive evaluation criteria
In our egg slicer tests, we place particular emphasis on the following aspects:
- Cutting performance (40%): We assess how easily eggs can be sliced and how satisfactory the result is. We pay attention to whether the egg slices or egg wedges are evenly and cleanly cut, without unsightly "squashing" or deformations.
- Application and handling (20%): We evaluate how handy the egg slicer is, whether it provides stable grip and support during slicing, and how easily the cutting unit can be operated.
- Ease of cleaning (15%): We examine whether the egg slicer is dishwasher-safe or if manual cleaning is required. We also check for any residue remaining in the device after cleaning.
- Material and build quality (10%): We rate the quality of the materials used and the construction of the egg slicer to provide an assessment of its durability and sturdiness.
- Price-performance ratio (10%): We compare the price of the egg slicer with its performance and evaluate whether the device is worth its price.
- Design and aesthetics (5%): Lastly, we assess whether the device is visually appealing and if it is something one would like to showcase in the kitchen or prefer to store in a cabinet.
