I received a harvest gold Hamilton Beach as a bridal shower gift 44 yrs. ago and it's still going strong.

I had the same, and it lasted 30+ years before giving up the ghost.  I bought a new one (Black and Decker maybe?), and the blades are SO flimsy.  It gets the job done (barely), but wow...treasure your harvest gold Hamilton Beach!!!!

Curtis Stone (HSN) has a great one.  NO CORD!!!  Rechargeable with two sets of blades.

@JeanLouiseFinch I had this one in avocado green and it was 26 years old and still going strong when my ex and I split up. (He kept it.)

Unfortunately, the brand name has been washed off of the side of mine, but I went to a kitchen store and got what felt comfortable in my hand.  It is a national brand.

I had one from 45-50 years ago and I found a good sharp knife was better.  A proper knife leaves a cleaner cut.

Okay, so no one flame me, but I only ever used the electric knife to cut foam. It was perfect for that use. I am pretty sure it was a Hamilton Beach. I've never actually seen anyone use an electric knife on meat.

Thanks all for suggestions.  I ended up getting a Black and Decker at Boscov's for $15.  We shall see how it works.

Before I ordered one, I checked America's Test Kitchen product reviews.  They recommended the Black and Decker. Surprisingly, it was very inexpensive.  Mine is  9" Comfort grip and works great.  Also has a 2 year manufacturer's warranty.
