Chef's Choice Electric Meat Slicer 610

If you have been thinking about getting a slicer (like I have for about 8 years) go ahead and get one and you won't be disappointed with the Chef's Choice line. For my use the 610 is perfect. I like left over roasts and I like the meat cut thin...this one did the job. I may give potato chips a try in the future.

I had no idea the full utility of a food slicer in a household kitchen but since getting my EdgeCraft 610, I am finding new ways everyday to use one. Cheese, Bread, Meat, Zucchini; you name it this slicer works on everything and it is so easy to clean that I don't dread using it like some other appliances that make it such a chore to clean you just decide not to use it. It is extremely durable, easy to handle, easy to clean. It has built in safety features and is also a wonderful size, big enough to do roasts but yet small enough to store in any cupboard. The size of cut is adjustable so I can make meat so thin that it is even perfect for Korean Bulgogi. I am rarely completely impressed with a product but I can say that this one made my short list of products that I would recommend to everyone with no reservations.

I was in the restaurant equipment business for over 35 years and sold hundreds of comercial slicers such as Hobart, Globe etc. This is not a comercial machine but it thinks it is. It does a supurb job of slicing from paper thin to a thick slice of rye. I don't use it as often as I should, but it is relatively easy to clean and a great addition to any kitchen.

I am extremely pleased with the performance of the slicer. Clean-up was easy since most of the parts came off the base. The ease in using the product was great; it sliced the meat paper thin without any problems. A definite "would buy again".

I read reviews on all the slicers and decided on this one. Heavy enough to not move around and NICE evenly thin slices. Go to the store, buy bulk and save the individual pkg pricing. Works great for me. Just REALLY watch your fingers during cleaning. The blade is very sharp. (Not that I can tell ya from experience :-). Very easy to clean as well.. For the price, I don't think you'll be at all unhappy.

This electric slicer has done a great job on smoked meats like brisket, pork shoulder / loin & turkey breast, as well as top & bottom round roast beef. Slice thickness is infinitely adjustable from paper-thin to 3/4", but very cold meat is a whole lot easier to work with than freshly cooked & still hot. Rotation helps maintain even slicing. Cleanup is simple. The included tray is a bit of an appendix, as it doesn't catch a lot of the sliced product if you're doing a whole roast or such; keep a platter handy. Overall a fine value for the price.

This product works real well. The slicing gets a little crooked after a few slices but if you rotate what you are cutting every few slices it stays pretty even. The thing comes apart real easy to be cleaned and reassembly is also easy. Love the fact that it is made of mostly aluminum and not so much plastic. Motor is powerful enough to cut cheese without bogging down the motor or stopping it. This slicer was a very good value for the good quality of construction of the machine.

Ya know I read all the reviews on this Machine before I bought it. Wanted one, thought about it, pranced around about it, then. bingo, I bought it. So, having babbled all that, heres the catch. I read the pros and cons, so when it arrived I put it through the test. Boy did I test it, and it tested my bank account. I sliced Beef, Pork, Bread, Cheese, Onions, cleaned it and put it away. Heres the adicitive part. The next day I sliced more, froze it, now have plenty of Beef all sliced and ready to thaw. Tommorrow I will try Frozen Halibut, bout 1/2 " thick, then cut it again with a Sharp Knife into cubes, bread it and gain weight I spose. Oh ya, because of all this food I seem to like to SLice, I gained 5 lbs since I bought it, so buyer beware, this machine will add weight, send ya shopping more, and, in closing, you will have a blast with it. Easy to clean, stores in a small area, and is very patient, it will sit there till you pick er up and use er again. Thanks, now go ahead and buy one, you wont be disappointed. I'm addicted

I could not believe the ease in cutting. I used it to prepare 20 pounds of onions and 5 pounds of tomatoes and I was done very quickly. It is easy to clean. I just wish the blade would be easier to remove. The people at the US factory for Edgecraft are extremely accommodating and helpful.
