Powerful but noisy.
This is a replacement for an old Rival slicer owned for many years that finaly stripped a drive gear. If I could have gotten a new one of those, I would have, but it is no longer made.
I only need a slicer occasionally, but when I do, it is to slice something difficult, like heavy, dense Virginia country ham. I just got this slicer and put it to the test right away, slicing up about 10 lb of that ham.
The first thing I noticed was that the blade speed seemed a little slow, although the blade is larger in diameter than my old slicer. The other thing you notice right away is that it is NOISY! This thing sounds more like the big saw in a sawmill than a meat slicer.
Now, how does it slice? It slices just fine! It powered through this very dense ham with little effort and I was through all 10 lb in no time. At one point I hit a small knuckle bone I had missed in the deboning, and apart from laboring a bit, it cut through that as well, and that is with a non-serrated...
Exactly what I wanted
This is my first slicer so I don't have a lot to compare it to, but it does exactly what I wanted, it slices meats and is easy to clean.
Great!
Great quality slicer. We smoke all of our own lunch meat and this was perfect for what we needed to slice thin meat. Would recommend!
