Weston Heavy Duty Food 9-Inch Slicer (61-0901-W)

Used today cutting up homemade deli meat. Love it. Cuts smooth and even. Easily cleaned up. 9" blade is the useful choice for home use, most things fit and the machine is not huge. Not for cutting up a moose but working well for us.

Buen producto, cumple con expectativas

This is our first slicer, so didn't know much going in. My husband wanted something heavy / commercial grade. I wanted easy to clean, not too large, and light enough to be able to move from the counter to storage shelf. This is not commercial, but works perfectly for us. Easy to use right from the beginning - in fact, I use it more than my husband does. Safety features are good - I did get a couple pair of safety gloves, which I put on every time I'm going to slice or to clean the blade. We have sliced both ham and turkey - slices can be paper thin, or any thickness up to approximately 1/2 inch. I've also sliced Swiss cheese, and bakery rye bread. All perfectly sliced. Now we don't have to buy pre-sliced products, and feel that we're getting better quality food for less money. The rubber feet keep the slicer firmly in place on the counter. It is lightweight enough that I can put it away and take it out easily. Although, so far, we've used it so often that we have not yet put it away. Cleanup is easier than I anticipated. The blade is easy to remove (while wearing safety gloves). To clean the machine, it's easy to wipe down, and I use a small brush to get into the crevices. To clean the blade at the sink, I wear a rubber oven glove, and use a scrubber brush to clean the blade under running water. So, I would recommend this slicer if you want one that is handy for slicing a variety of foods, not too large for kitchen use, and easy to clean with good safety features.

I bought this for my GF who loves to cook and comes up with some of the best smoked meats with the intent to slice up the left overs for sandwiches. Also we buy blocks of cheese at Costco and wanted to give slicing that up a try. I looked at most of the food slicers on Amazon and other sites. Since the idea was to slice smoked meats I wanted a larger blade. The Chefs Choice had the best review but they had smaller 7" blades or the larger ones were expensive. Also if you read the Chefs Choice reviews I got curious why they had such a high rating since everyone states in their reviews they don't have much power and are limited on what you can cut with them. I decided to try this one and so for its been a winner. Before I got started I decided to do a couple things. I read all the reviews and decided to follow one of the recommendations and make sure the gears were greased. So when it arrived i I pulled it apart and re-greased the gears at the motor and also where the blade rotates on the aluminum spindle. I understand everyone wont do this on a brand new appliance but it was a gift and I wanted to make certain it worked well for her. I also took a coupe minutes with a Smith's 50002 9-Inch Oval Ceramic Sharpening Rod and ran it down the blade while it was spinning. This made a night and day difference in the sharpness of the slicer blade. We used it to slice some smoked Prime Rib and it worked like a charm. Cut very thin slices nice and even. I was impressed with how easy it cut and it was even fast. Not like the ones they use at the delli, but fast enough to make quick work of the meat we were slicing. I can understand peoples point about the fence flexing and giving uneven thickness in the cuts but we did not have that problem. It cut very fast and did not load down the motor at all. Reviews are correct that cleanup could be easier given limited diss-assembly. However the tray slides far enough forward and back I was able to access the parts that needed cleaning easy enough with a cloth. The blade only takes a second to remove and cleans up quickly in dish soap. its much easier to clean than our Breville Juicer so I would say its not bad at all. So far I give this 5+ Stars. For the money it does everything we expect of it with flying colors.

Esta Rebanadora de carnes es un poco IMPRÁCTICA No se auto afila la cuchilla. Recibí la cuchilla sin filo y con rebaba por lo que al principio no cortaba debidamente hasta que afilé la cuchilla manualmente. No se pueden desarmar las partes que se ensucian para lavarlas de manera práctica. Las piezas de los alimentos a rebanar tienen que ser chicas para que entren en la rebanadora. PERO... Es buena ayuda en una cocina domestica no profesional.
