Professional Series Meat Slicer, Cuts Meat, Cheese, Bread, Fruit & Vegetables, Adjustable Slice Thickness, Stainless Steel Blade, Safe Non-Slip Feet, For Home Use, Easy To Clean

I am writing this to respond those occasional reviewers who have complained about the build quality of this unit. I purchased this unit to slice home-cured pancetta, and have since used it additionally to slice cooked roasts into sandwich meat. Before buying I was concerned by the negative reviews, but the unit has proven itself well able to perform these tasks. It is not a commercial-grade unit, but it is nevertheless of sufficient quality to do slicing of the sort that would be encountered by a home user, even one who is sophisticated and cooks from scratch ingredients frequently. The blade rotates at only a modest speed, but it is quite sharp and serrated as well. The unit is therefore able to cut reliably and consistently. This is true across a wide range of slice thicknesses. Because of the modest blade speed, though, one cannot cut the slices super fast -- I would estimate a comfortable maximum of 2-3 slices every 3 seconds. So trying to duplicate the speeds seen at the deli counter is not going to be possible. Additionally, the unit is very likely not rigid and powerful enough to slice meats that are fully frozen, very hard dried, or or which contain bone or heavy gristle. It works best with meats that are chilled, not room temperature, but this is true for meat slicing generally. Those persons reporting unacceptably large deflection and/or breakage are probably attempting to get the unit to slice too quickly, or through items that are too hard. One would have to apply a lot of force to the unit to get the sort problems that they describe. Personally, I would never do that with my hands close to any motorized rotary cutting tool - it is inviting a trip to the emergency room. Better to feed the material into the cutting edge no faster than the tool is able to process it, and accept the modest reduction in job speed. This unit will do well if not abused or asked to perform tasks outside the scope of its intended uses. My sense is that it will be quite durable and long lasting. I am pleased with the purchase and would buy again. It produces sliced pancetta equal to the deli counter.

Work wonderfully, so glad I have it. Easy to use and clean.

Well most reviews are just about features, not about what the products are intended to be used for once purchased, so I figured I'd take a different approach and maybe it would help someone who may be deciding to buy this slicer. When I was reading the many reviews on the multitude of slicers on Amazon I was confused as to why even slicers over $200.00 had buyers who were not satisfied. I was looking for a slicer to cut pork roll which is a fav at work and I get a roll about 6lbs and 5 inches in diameter and maybe a foot and a half long. You can't cut it by hand without getting fat and skinny edges on the same slice. This slicer however performed very well for the money. Most reviews I read said hard to clean, not enough power, sucks on cheese. Well, maybe cheese is too sticky when you cut it and pulls on the blade causing it to drag and slowing the motor down. maybe you need a commercial slicer for 300.00 or more or go sloooooooooooooooooower. I had not one bit of problem cutting, cleaning, or using this slicer to get the job done. I don't take it apart to clean, I wipe it down with soap and water after each use. Blade is still sharp as the day I bought it.i guess what I'm saying is that expectations seem to be too high for some people who purchase a slicer for under a hundred dollars. This thing is great for meats i will say. The motor seems very safe by slowing down the speed to keep your thumbs attached to your hand. i think it would be just about impossible to cut your self. I wipe the blade when it is running, with a dishcloth, and never even came close to having a scare. I imagine someone will prove me wrong and do it. We will call him lefty. Ha Ha. Well, to finish my review I will just say this is a great slicer for the price and I use it every week. If you are easily disappointed and think you should get everything when you paid next to nothing, then you probably won't be happy with whatever slicer you end up buying. Everyone else, stimulate your surplus by spending less for this quality slicer.

motor seems strong, blade very sharp , sliced up a ham no problem, only complaint is that he unit needs to be a little higher so you can get a plate under it to catch the juices, also the unit doesn't disassemble like my old unit so you have to hand wash most of it, which means trying to get grease and juice out of all the nooks and crannies with a cloth and some kind of cleaner, then in order to rinse every thing off you have to carefully hold the unit to the sink and try not to get water inside the motor or all over your counter/floor , so in summery works great as a food slicer but not sure the clean up is worth it, I think the old electric carving knife will get more use than this

Works good for slicing up jerky meat

Works great, recommend my friends to buy this

i love this product

Great quality easy using

Déchiré les fruits et très bruyant. Même pas capable de couper un orange. Mon starfrit a 30$ va 100x mieux que cette trancheuse dites professionnel. Aussitôt essayé, Aussitôt retourné !
