Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of MIU France Stainless Steel Magnetic Knife Holder, 20-Inches
Customer Review: Awesome Buy
Summary: 5 Stars
After viewing countless Apartment Therapy house tours glorifying the benefits of magnetic knife holders, I decided it was time to get one for my very small kitchen. I wasn't particularly in love with MIU nor did I give much thought as to size prior to receiving it, however, I was sold the moment my boyfriend installed it on the wall. It's lovely to look at, the size is just right (although I wouldn't mind it longer) and has plenty of room to store knives and tools (5 knives and two tongs so far).
It's probably wise to get your own anchors for extra security.
Customer Review: Great buy, easy to install, strong magnet!
Summary: 5 Stars
After surfing through the Amazon.com reviews, I decided to buy one. It's the perfect length. It was easy to install. The anchors that came with the product was strong enough to hold the strip securely on my sheetrock wall. It's strong enough to hold my cleaver, scissors and the rest of my standard knife set in a horizontal configuration. I've read that most other knife strips can only hold knives in a veritical configuration. I love this product! It cleared up so much kitchen counter space for preparing food and it looks organized and great. Worth the price!Customer Review: looks great and knives stick
Summary: 5 Stars
It looks great with all our other stainless steel products.
The magnetic parts seem to be the top and bottom rails but it is pretty strong, all the metal knives and scissors we've thrown on it has stayed.
The one problem was with the anchors that came with it, there were no instructions as to what size they are or how big a hole to drill for them. The first hole I made was a little too small, so I made it bigger and the whole thing fell inside the wall. I had to use my own anchors and it is attached to the wall pretty well.
Customer Review: only 18.5" long magnetic - still perfect!
Summary: 5 Stars
The total length of the bar is 20", the magnetic part is 18.5".
Basically, everyone seems to like this magnetic bar. It has a sturdy, strong magnet, and it is a nice size. It accommodates my 9 knives (a couple of 10" chef's knives and 7 more utility/bread/paring knives) comfortably - any more would be a bit of a squeeze.
I used my own wall anchors, as someone else suggested. The ones that come with it would probably work, but they look like they would slip through the wall.
Customer Review: better than the rest, half the price
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had gone through a few knife magnets due to moving and greedy roomates. The heinkle was okay but a little cheap. On this last move I wanted to upgrade. I have always loved wustaf knives so thought the magnet they offered would be a no brainer for quality.... I was so wrong. I returned the one I bought then looked online, found the Miu magnet and gave it a shot at less than half the price. This thing is built well and has the best mounting system I have seen yet. Major props, thanks miu.
