Cuisinart Kitchen Pro Food Slicer, 7.5, Stainless steel, Gray

Sharp, fast, powerful, safe. Good quality control and easy to set thickness. It's large enough to handle a full ham, but be sure to clear out all the space you need on the counter for safety. Full disassembly required for cleaning, which can be a hassle, but there's no such thing as a slicer that you can throw in the dishwasher.

I only use it for slicing bread. It’s not very heavy or sturdy, but it’s sharp and gets the job done. Cutting is simple and takes a minute for an entire loaf. I’m not sure how it would handle a hard cheese or tougher meat, but for my needs it’s ok.It does move a bit around the countertop as you’re using it, so I need to keep it steady with one hand.I think for the money it was worth it - I got a “used like new” model and it really was like new with no signs of use and all stickers intact, but at almost 50% off. I’m not sure if I’d like it as much if I had paid full price.

I've used this for about a month now. I've used to slice beef roasts for jerky, venison for jerky, ham and bologna for sandwiches. Usually 4 or 5 lbs of meat sliced at a time.It makes quick work of any thing I've thrown at it so far. Cleaning is easy enough but not great. You have to take the blade out and the platform off, use paper towels and disinfectant on the machine itself. The blade and platform are washed in the sink.Is it the best slicer? No. Will it do paper thin slices of ham? Absolutely not. It will however slice ham thin and evenly enough for sandwiches, and will definitely cut slightly frozen raw meat into thin and even enough slices for jerky, and for much cheaper than most other slicers. It ain't perfect, but for the price it may as well be.

My biggest concerns with a smaller system like this is the ease of use, the control of the meat, and the ease of cleaning. In all 3 categories, this slicer performed well. The one item to be aware of is that if you put steady pressure on the meat as you're trimming, the width of the cut will slowly change. I handled that by holding the adjusting knob while slicing. If there's any other item to be aware of it would be that when you clean the slicer, it's tough to some of the movable areas that set the slicer depth.Beyond that, I'd recommend this highly. It's very easy to remove the blade and all the washable parts. Re-installation is also a breeze, and it works great time after time.

I often look for an inexpensive version of a product when I first buy a new gadget. This was a starter slicer to see if we actually use it and if it saves us money by buying meat and cheese in bulk. Maybe I put too much faith in the brand, but this slicer didn't meet my expectations.Right away, we could tell that the slicer was too lightweight and would move around too much when slicing anything hard. Most of its components are plastic, including some of the internal parts, which ended up being its downfall.The motor is just not very strong, so while it seemed to work fine on meat, it bogged down badly when slicing cheese. I like to freeze meat slightly before slicing it, but this thing couldn't handle that.The thickness adjustment knob has no indicators on it, so we had to make some marks at different depths to get consistent results.It lasted about a year before the insides melted. We used it enough that I feel a new one is justified, but this time, I'll look for a professional version that will last.

Rioght out of the box, I first washed it then started to slice my summer sausage, tomatopes, and vidalia onions. What a breeze it was to finally find something that would make it very easy to slice them so perfectly.

Solid Zero star! A pure garbage!! DON'T BUY!!!This is my second unit—my first one failed after just a few uses. The seller replaced it with a brand new unit, but it turned out to be the same worthless junk. When trying to slice pork belly or ham, the slicer gives off a strange, plasticky smell and eventually starts smoking. After slowly slicing just 2 pounds of meat, the cog stopped spinning due to a burned-out drive gear.I even replaced the cog myself, but the same issue keeps happening over and over. Pro Food Slicer? Maybe—if you're only slicing cucumbers or bread. Otherwise, avoid this thing at all costs!

Works great! I was happy to see how it worked on line and am here to tell you, it will definitely save us money.
