This Electric Slicers give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Powerful but noisy.
This is a replacement for an old Rival slicer owned for many years that finaly stripped a drive gear. If I could have gotten a new one of those, I would have, but it is no longer made.
I only need a slicer occasionally, but when I do, it is to slice something difficult, like heavy, dense Virginia country ham. I just got this slicer and put it to the test right away, slicing up about 10 lb of that ham.
The first thing I noticed was that the blade speed seemed a little slow, although the blade is larger in diameter than my old slicer. The other thing you notice right away is that it is NOISY! This thing sounds more like the big saw in a sawmill than a meat slicer.
Now, how does it slice? It slices just fine! It powered through this very dense ham with little effort and I was through all 10 lb in no time. At one point I hit a small knuckle bone I had missed in the deboning, and apart from laboring a bit, it cut through that as well, and that is with a non-serrated...
2. Exactly what I wanted
This is my first slicer so I don't have a lot to compare it to, but it does exactly what I wanted, it slices meats and is easy to clean.
Need more appointment... ?
slightly disappointed
I knew I wasn't buying a Caddilac, but I thought it would have been a little better quality than it is. The sliding tray cannot be removed for cleaning unless you take two screws out of the rail and remove it. The area behind the cutting blade is not well shielded from small scraps of meat, which makes clean up a bummer. It turns at a very slow RPM, so it takes a great deal of care and effort to get a good cut on each pass. All in all, it's not a bad appliance for the price, but I wish now that I had spent a little more. I purchased this to cut my own sandwich meat from baked turkey breast and roast beef. It gets the job done, but takes longer than I'd like.
