KWS Premium MS-6SS 200w Electric Slicer 7.67-Inch Stainless Steel Blade, Frozen Meat/Deli Meat/Cheese/Food Slicer Low Noises Commercial and Home Use

Machine came well packed. Instructions are okay. Slicer is gorgeous. Looks super good on the counter, and we were able to get it to store in one of our lower cabinets, which was unexpected. I figured I'd have to store it in the basement. We washed everything as we put it together, which was a nice little education for learning how it works. Setup is pretty easy. You'll need a flathead screwdriver to remove the blade (which is an awesome piece of metal), but everything else comes apart by screwing hand knobs, which is really nice. I had a 5.5lb mortadella, about 5.5" across I made for the virgin use. It had both pistachios and whole peppercorns. I thought the slicer did a great job handling them within the forcemeat, and the blade didn't appear to suffer any from them. I ran it at 1mm, which felt pretty good for getting good clean whole slices. The sliding carriage has a nice handle with spikes that allows a couple different configurations for how you want to hold the meat as you work. At 1/2mm, I wasn't able to really get even/whole slices. It would grab the slices as they came through, and spin them under the blade. I think with colder meat (maybe 30+ mins in the freezer), I might be able to pull off 1/2 a lb at that thickness, which would be perfect: just like a legit Italian deli. Motor feels powerful enough, with no lag on the mortadella as we sliced. Motor is very quiet, and feels perfectly balanced on the sturdy base. Self sharpening system looks very nice, though I haven't used it yet. Only negative is that one of the plastic handles snapped when we were cleaning it. I can still operate it, but kind of annoying. I registered the product, and will submit a warranty claim. It looks like the replacement part is about $10, but I still expect them to stand behind it. If they don't, I'll remove a star. Overall, very excited with the purchase, and can't wait to cure a pork belly and slice some bacon!

The slicer itself is very good and feels quality. This is a 7.5" blade, not 6". But know a few things: (1) It's involved to clean up, but it is a messy food slicer. (2) We had to use an impact driver to initially loosen the 3 screws that held the blade. (3) We had to touch up the central bore of the blade disc with a rotary tool so it wouldn't be such a tight fit off and on the hub. (4) We went around all the edges of the unit with sandpaper to remove unnecessarily sharp edges. We also bought the larger 10" model in teflon, which had a couple additional problems: (5) the teflon coating had some embedded sand specks which ruined the flatness, so I had to chip them out with a screwdriver, and (6) the 10" blade was so tight on the motor hub it required a mallet hammer to initially remove, and required a lot of rotary tool action to make it fit smoothly. My suggestion would be to stick to the aluminum models with plastic handles (the metal handles are heavy!), and then optionally pick the teflon blade.

Generally works well. I have a frozen ribeye with a 3-5 inch diameter. The machine will NOT cut the frozen meat like a butter. If you are trying to cut very thin (like me), you have to freeze the meat. Cutting an unfrozen meat very thin will have meat pieces flying all over the place. I cut 3 chunks of frozen ribeyes (very thin). It took 10 minutes to setup, 20 minutes to cut and 30 minutes to clean up. Making a think cuts, you will be fine. But then if you are making thick cuts, why not just use a knife and save $$$? The bad: Cleaning is a big job. Small meat and fat pieces will go in between components. You have to remove 3 screwdrivers to remove the blade and clean inside.

This is a heavy duty machine for your home. Weighs a little more than the cheap ones a little harder to clean but cuts like a deli slicer. Very impressed !!

This machine is very well made and operates perfectly. Others have complained about removing the screws that hold the blade but I had no trouble at all; the screws came loose easily. The blade itself measures about 7.5 inches, but the distance from the bottom of the feed tray to the top of the blade is 6 inches. Hence it is listed as a 6" slicer. The motor is very quiet, and the feed tray operates smoothly and adjusts easily for thickness control. It also comes with an extra belt and sharpening stone. My personal preference was to leave the sharpening attachment off until the blade actually requires attention, thus there is one less piece to remove when cleaning the unit. The only difficulty I encountered was misalignment of the meat guide plate. It was easy to correct by way of two allen-screws located under the motor cover. From what I can see this machine should provide many years of reliable service.

Black forest ham from Costco, frozen beef pork chicken, all kinds of cheese. Plenty of power. We use if in our pantry for all slicing jobs. I like the size. The 10-inch is the Amazon Choice and it's not that much more money than this 6-inch,, but we have not had any issue with the size,, it cuts everything we need it to and fits nicely on the counter. You have to take the blade off each time to clean it properly, recommend cut-resistant gloves for this purpose,, e.g. https://a.co/d/0e514NCS. The blade is very sharp, of course, and quite heavy.

Good slicer, does what it's supposed to.
