In the traditional way, you can hold the box in one hand, and pull out the plastic and cut it with the teeth. This 'quick cut' method you gotta use the slide, meaning you need to let go of the plastic (which means no more tension), then do a sliding motion.
Besides the gimmick, however, this is a decent price per square foot for plastic wrap.

If one is into improving the efficiency and ergonomics of a kitchen, this is a step up. Invariably plastic wrap - with the standard serrated edge - will at times fail to tear completely, cleanly, or evenly resulting in a struggle with the current wrapping task. The roll becomes 'fouled' when the leading edge of the wrap no longer feeds evenly over the serrated strip and even a small section remains 'stuck' on the roll and/or the wrap fails to cut completely and when and where one intends it to ... and since the nature of the plastic wrap is to stick to itself, that complicates the condition. FOr ex. one may have to throw away the current attempt and retry with a new piece of wrap.
If one leaves the roll stored in a fouled state, the next use will necessitate carefully unraveling the wrap from the roll by hand and setting things aright: the next person to use it is now tasked with laboriously unpeeling the wrap from itself and getting things back on track (same thing can easily happen with a roll of clear packing tape is users aren't careful). All this is complicated if several people have access to the roll and any of them are sloppy, less careful, lazy, disorganized, or lack the thoroughness to leave the roll in pristine condition.
It's the recognition of this shortcoming of the standard serrated dispenser that led to alternative package/dispenser designs which mitigate or eliminate the frustration - along with waste of time and material - that's a flaw of the former. Perhaps in a one person kitchen or a kitchen in which everyone is equally methodical, organized, and thorough this will have less value.
YMMV.
