Ugh! Yes, they do. My husband has one and he always liked to use it for
carving turkey, slicing flank steak, and a few other chores. I hate it
because it vibrates so much that the meat gets all shredded around the
edges. For Christmas, I bought him a Granton edge slicer, and he loves it.
Flank steak night is much more peaceful at our house without the racket from
that stupid electric knife .

My husband's parents still have one, too. They're not really knife people.
