Chef's Choice 609A000 Electric Food Slicer, Stainless Steel

Works very well, effectively slicing cured meat into thin slices. So beware though if using outside the US that you will require a step down voltage transformer otherwise the fuse will immediately blow (as protection against motor damage). This requirement is not clear from the sales particulars, however the shipper did send an email notification of this requirement which was received too late to have been of use, meaning that I blew the first fuse before seeing their email which had been sent to the spam folder. Tip is to order spare fuses just in case and the voltage transformer so that you can use out of the box. Once in operation it works well, with simple adjustment of the selected slicing thickness and is both easy to operate and clean after use.

Lo compré principalmente para rebanar pan, pero se atasca en la parte inferior cuando entra a la miga que está muy fresca; fuera de eso, excelente.

Since moving to BC from Montreal we haven’t been able to find a butcher who can prepare chicken and beef for use in a Chinese fondue. The meat needs to be cut very thin and this needs to be done when the meat has been frozen for 3-4 hours. We got tired of explaining the process required to various meat cutters only tho end up disappointed with the results. This machine is powerful enough and precise so that the results are outstanding. The machine is easy to clean and the blade is extremely sharp. Great buy if you want your meat and cheese cut the way you want.

UPDATE: I just used this to slice some homemade bacon today. I was worried that since bacon is kind of squishy that the slicer might just drag the meat into the blade and make a mess, but WOW. This thing goes through bacon like a laser. My bacon slab was about 2-1/2" thick, too, and the machine didn't even sound like it struggled. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars at this point - I'm thrilled with it, and that's rare for me to say!I've been wanting a slicer for years to make my venison jerky faster more and more uniformly than cutting it by hand with a chef's knife. I really wanted to find a used commercial slicer but even used they're crazy expensive and too big to store.I recently got into making bacon from scratch, curing raw pork belly and smoking it. That kind of amped up my desire for a slicer, but I really never thought these small "home model" units could cut it, so to speak. When Amazon had this on a Deal of the Day with free returns I figured I didn't have anything to lose and gave it a try.At first glance, it looks and feel like a toy. It's light and small, but the carriage runs smoothly and the motor and drive train sounded fine. I had a cooked boneless turkey breast from Costco so I threw that on the carriage and gave it a try. Wow... this thing peeled ribbons off that turkey as fast and I could go back and forth. I was really pretty impressed with how well it worked. It will dial down to almost paper-thin slices.Yep, it's kind of a pain to clean, as is my meat grinder, sausage stuffer, and anything else that contacts raw meat, but I think that's just part of the price of convenience. The biggest drawback in cleaning that I see is that the drive gear for the blade is mounted to the back of the blade and coated in grease, so every time you take the blade off to clean it you have to deal with that. Other wise everything disassembles pretty easily for a soap and hot water cleanup.I'm generally the type that will pay extra and get the very best, but honestly I think for my needs, this little slicer does a bang-up job. It's small enough to store easily but still gets the job done. I'm looking forward to deer season in a few weeks so I can make some more jerky with it.

THIS IS A GREAT MACHINE. PERFECT FOR WHAT I NEEDED IT FOR. SLICING SUMMER SAUSAGES EVERY WEEK. THIS MACHINE WAS EASY FOR ME TO USE. I AM DIS-ABLED NO USE OF MY LEFT HAND. I WAS ABLE TO SET UP USE AND TAKE DOWN AND WASH. BLADE WAS VERY EASY TO DIS MOUNT AND REMOUNT. MACHINE IS LIGHT TO CARRY AND MOVE (8 LBS). HEAVY ENOUGH TO STAY IN PLACE WHILE USING THANKS TO RUBBER SUCTION FEET.BEFORE I STRUGGLED WITH MY KNIFE AND SAUSAGE, USUALLY HAD TO WEDGE THE SAUSAGE BETWEEN THE MICROWAVE AND COFFEE MAKER. THIS MACHINE HAS MADE MY LIFE EASIER. PERFORMANCE WAS GREAT. POWER WAS JUST RIGHT FOR MY APLICATION. ONLY REGRET IS I WISH I HAD BOUGHT IT 12 YEARS AGO WHEN I HAD MY STROKE. I WONT BE WITHOUT ONE OF THESE MACHINES. WHEN THIS ONE WEARS OUT I WILL BUY ANOTHER ONE OF THE SAME BRAND. ONE FEATURE I LIKE IS THE TRAY. I PUT A PAPER PLATE ON IT TO CATCH THE SLICES AS THEY COME OFF THE BLADE THEN DUMP THEM IN A CONTAINER WITH A LID ON IT AND STORE IT IN THE REFRIGERATOR AND ALWAYS HAVE A HANDY SNACK ON HAND.

I bought this slicer from warehouse deals for a reduced price it came without the manual, plastic tray or original box all easily replaced. I had a 3 lb. piece of homemade corned beef in the fridge ready to go, the slicer performed perfectly sliced thin with no effort, designed to come apart for cleaning it's much easier to clean than other slicers I've had.....two thumbs up!
