ChefmanElectric Deli Slicer With Adjustable Slices, Stainless Steel Blades, Safe Feet - For Ham, Cheese, Bread, Fruit & Veggies

I was torn between giving this a 5 or a 4 star review. But since they made no statement of being a professional grade slicer, this appliance, in a price to performance analysis, clearly deserves a 5 star review. It's not a professional slicer. Yet for home usage, it performs above others I have used in my 67 years. So far, I've used it to cut charcuterie of meats & cheese, plus artisan breads. Meats and cheeses it did effortlessly, and the quality of the cut was much the same as in any butcher shop. The harder crusts of some drier bread did slow the blade down slightly. But here too, a clean cut. Size of bread loaf could become a problem for some 1lb (plus) round loaves. But, half pound round and oval 1lb are not a problem. So, it really comes down to what you want to use it for. If you want to use it for butchering (and cutting bones) it would be better to go with a 5x to 10x more expensive professional grade cutter. If you want to have it for home usage, it's spot on, and at a good price for the quality and performance it delivers.

My last food slicer lasted well over 30 years. This one, hopefully, will last just as long. Easy to use, easy to adjust for just the right thickness of slices. Even with my meat mostly frozen, the slicer had no problem getting through the meat.If you're considering a meat slicer, this is one to look at. The only sticking point was the ease of cleaning. More of the machine should be easy to disassemble so the user can get every little bit of meat out of the housing.

This does the job it was made for and with the reviews I made the purchase... It does not feel like high quality and is light, which I guess why its intended for home use. It had issue cutting a stick salomi right out of the box, cuts bread well though. Have not tried any meats per say yet as we buy our lunch meat from the deli sliced... the thickness options are odd in that the lowest smallest slice is so thin cant think of a purpose and the largest lice is not all that large.Overal satisfied with its function....might spend more if there was more intended use.

I bought this slicer in early August. Worked great and looked really nice!!! Then in October after using it about a dozen times I saw smoke coming from inside the unit. Unplugged it and and it resolved. The next time I used it after about 2 minutes I smelled what seemed to be something electrical burning and the plastic over the motor was too hot to touch. I reached out to customer service and they got back to me right away to gather more information on what was happening. Of course it was well outside the 30 day return window so I did not have a lot of hope of any positive resolution. I was SHOCKED at what transpired with this company. As I stated they got back to me quickly to gather more information. They assigned a case manager (Mine was Debra). And that is the person that deals with the entire issue. No talking to a new person every time!!! (LOVE THAT). She emailed me a PRE PAID return label, I sent the unit back and the return was "approved" (not sure what that means lol). But UPS right now has a new unit in their possession that is expected to be delivered to me on Monday!! I can't tell you how pleasantly surprised I am with the follow through from this company and Debra specifically. KUDO's to them and HER!!!!!!!!!! I have already bookmarked their site for any future kitchen needs. That's how impressed I am with their actions. Needless to say I would highly recommend them!!!! Thank you Chefman!!!!

I bought this slicer because I liked the price, the brand name, and because the blade size and alleged motor power. I never owned an electric Deli Slicer before, and I mainly wanted one for slicing hard salami.It looks very well made. Unfortunately once I actually tried it, I was very disappointed. First, the motor turns the blade pretty slow, and as soon as it the blade hits the food it slows even further. Second, no matter how thin you set the guard, once the food hits the blade the force twists the guide and the guard apart and the slices end up being thicker than you want. Third, the plastic food shield has spikes on it that are supposed to bite into the food for safety. But those spikes are long enough to actually get cut off by the blade and now my spikes are a bit flat on the end. (I didn't notice how they tasted.) Finally (and worst of all) the sliding food tray has one guide wheel all the way on the front end, and no support on the back end where the food rests. Any food that is heavy (like salami) will weigh down the sliding tray and as you push the food through the blade, distort it enough that it makes contact with the blade. My food tray has a chewed up rear edge and my slices end up with tiny flecks of black plastic.I imagine that if you only use it for lightweight, soft food it would be a breeze. But you can slice that yourself with a good knife. For hard salami, it is NOT GOOD.I also tried it with a softer roast. On very thin, it shredded a lot of the meat, so that the entire blade area was full of small pieces of meat. I had to keep turning off to collect my shreds. About half of my roast ended up as shredded beef.My suggestion to the company would be to a) add a second guide wheel underneath the rear edge of the food tray to support it better, and b) maybe make the business edge of the food tray slightly tapered or curved so that it can't get sliced away by the blade. Of course this could make the last slice of food get stuck it that space...

I've been wanting a meat slicer for a while now. I chose the Chefman because it had good reviews. The commercial slicers are ridiculously expensive! So far we're happy with it. It's a good weight, so hopefully that means it's sturdy. It has performed well so far. The speed is ok. It seems easy to adjust the thickness of the slices. The blades are sharp and seem easy to remove to wash it after use. I love that it has many slicing options. I'm going to try slicing bread with it too.
