This Electric Slicers give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Almost "Professional"
The Chef's Choice 667 slicer performs as advertised with its sturdy construction, powerful motor, large 10" belt-driven blade, and smooth quiet operation. This slicer does indeed produce deli-thin slices!
Out of the Box
The Chef's Choice 667 slicer comes out of the box with a 10" stainless-steel blade, blade sharpener, owner's manual, Allen wrench, small plastic serving tray, and temporary blade guard used for handling the sharp blade.
The plastic blade guard easily screws onto the blade using two large plastic knobs. This temporary guard covers the razor sharp edge of the blade and makes it easy to handle when it's removed from the slicer or during cleaning.
The plastic food tray is used to catch the food as it's being sliced, but it's too small and does not fit squarely under the blade.
The Allen wrench is used for removing the main blade guard during cleaning.
The blade sharpener is attached to the top of the unit and is held in place by a thumb screw. Simply...
2. Go Ahead & Spend the Money, You Won't Be Sorry!
This is the second food slicer I've owned in my life. The first was a Waring food slicer I picked up at Lowes for about a hundred bucks. I returned it the next day. So I came to Amazon.com and decided to buy this model. While it is an invested in money and kitchen space, I'm very happy with it. It slices through meat, cheese, and veges like they were nothing. Plenty of hand guards and saftey features to keep you from slicing your fingers off too. The blade is extremely sharp though and should be handled with extreme care. Just remember, don't put your fingers near the blade while it's spinning for any reason. It does come with a plastic carry case which screws on to the blade so it can be removed for cleaning. I wouldn't recommend handling the blade with out it as the blade is razor sharp and rather heavy. The machine is easy to clean and the blade can be removed and replaced in a few minutes. It's simple, it's easy, and it's slices great. I bought some roast beef, ham, and turkey at...

Frustrating to use
My original review is down below. I'm updating this review after 6 months of ownership. The basic problem with this slicer is that the cutting blade is too small in diameter. If you're slicing anything that would require a slicer, like a roast, or a turkey breast, the food ends up hitting the frame behind the blade. This causes the food to be sucked between the rear of the blade and the frame. The blade loses its sharpness very quickly, so instead of slicing my turkey breast it shredded it. I end up having to slice very slowly, so I can grab the food before it gets caught between the rear of the blade and the frame. Its actually a pain to clean. So basically I've used it 4 times in 6 months. I usually stand there and stare at it for a few minutes debating in my head whether I want to haul that beast out, and then having to clean it afterwards. I usually end up using a carving knife.
I originally bought the Waring Pro FS150 at Best Buy, and as usual, I read the reviews AFTER...
