Norpro Bean Frencher

I bought this for my wife as we grow our own beans and she absolutely loves it. The only downfall is that it’s made for American worktops and is too small for ours so we have had to use a glass table to attach it to. It is so good she loves just winding the beans through and it takes minutes as opposed to longer with the old fashioned pull through slicers. Definitely worth buying and adapting the fix it has made her life so much easier and no breakages in the beans! We love it 👍

so I've had this a year now and brought it out to do my beans that are just cropping and it no longer works, it will slice about 1-2cm then the handle just goes around and the blades stop turning, I also noticed that a crack has appeared in the casing, and it's metal! so its turned out to be a waste of money not pleased at all.

It works! And it is built like...like...like I don't know what, you don't get really well made stuff any more. A comparison is impossible.There are NO plastic load-bearing parts. It is all metal except for the roller. It is a joy just to hold. My kids are already squabbling over who gets it when I die.

At last a well made appliance that does what it says it will do. Although I needed to improvise, by having to adapt my worktop to accommodate the fixing clamp, the problem was soon overcome with little visual effect. I now have a machine that slices (not chews) the beans to the correct length.

Excellent runner bean slicer, easy to use. Touch of a problem attaching it to the kitchen counter top, but with a bit of DIY skills all sorted.

I like this item.The hammered green colour and over-engineered look are from a by'gone age. It could have come from my grandmothers scullery: and the tasty cut beans, good price and quick delivery combine to make this a very good purchase.

I found it awkward to set up on something to et something under to catch it, in the end clamped it to table in Garden and big utensil on garden seat, need to find one that electric driven now.

Yes it works but keeps moving and you end up having to cut the shredded bean pieces to a shorter length. I found difficulty finding something suitable to fix it to. No good on granite counter.
