Im sorry but the video feels a bit disingenuous with the way he is cutting the lime. With the normal knive he just pushes straight down on the lime and with the vibroknife he actually does a slicing move. Same with the cheese. It doesnt feel like an honest comparison

Maybe, though I'll note that this matches how I use regular knives with cheese & similar things: with a dull unscalloped knife I have to carefully go straight down to avoid tearing. If my knife is sharp (or temporarily oiled) and the food doesn't stick, I'll slice. Because I can. The end result is different: thinner slices, less crushing. Also faster.

I saw the same thing immediately. The robot arm could be calibrated to use a real slicing motion as well. They're misrepresenting the actual performance of this product.

100% confirmed meme product.
