Big Improvement
I've had a household electric slicer for over 35 years. A plastic body, it was easy to clean, but a bit difficult to do a large slicing job. Two years ago, my grandson requested homemade mesquite jerky. I could only slice a small batch at a time ( 2 lb. of meat at a time) before it started to heat up and slide across the counter. I needed two hands to hold and slice. Dangerous.The jerky was great & demand/requests rose dramatically. My poor little slicer was NOT large enough to handle it. It was old and getting worn out from usage.So Hubby went on Amazon to look for a larger one that would be a good substitute. He found three & bookmarked all. He had me take my pick as per features and buy it. GREAT! I've sliced enough meat for several batches of jerky, leftover ham and poultry for sandwiches - regardless of thickness. Even partially frozen meats. It's a bit heavy for me to get out of storage, but if hubby is around, he will get it out for me. I should have gotten this months ago! It does not slide on the counter while slicing. Nor does it vibrate, shred the meat no matter how thin, ditto with block cheese(s). Some of the meat is so thin, it only has one side. HA!If you want a reliable slicer that should not wear out , slice large quantities of meat and/or cheeses with no damages to the food - this is it.

Gets the job done well
I am very pleased with the slicer. The motor is very quiet. I had an old slicer many years ago that sounded like a boat motor when I was using it. The dial for thickeners is easy to maneuver. Easy to clean. I sliced meat and cheese with great results.

Made short work of 3 lbs of bacon
Update 06/19/2023: OK, I've used this several times now and still quite happy with it. Nothing new to add excerpt that I would definitely recommend this to any friends looking for a home slicer. Also, putting the slicer on a silicone mat makes a huge difference in stability! Absolutely no sliding as it did on the plain counter (suction cups weren't working too well on the counter, work great on a silicone mat).I purchased this particular brand/model based upon a review of slicers for slicing home cured/smoked bacon. I used it for the first time this morning to slice up some cottage bacon I had cured and smoked yesterday. As the title says, it made pretty short work of slicing up the bacon.This is not a commercial slicer, not even close! It's for home use and the instructions say don't operate for more than 10 minutes. It took a little longer than 10 minutes to slice the bacon, especially since as the piece got smaller it tended to stick to the blade. As I pushed forward the it would slice but the flat of the blade would pick up the bacon I was cutting from and it would spin around on the blade. This happened a few times.The blade cut through the bacon pretty easily, I have no complaints. The part of the slice that moves forward and back to adjust the thickness did not move while slicing the bacon. I've seen other slicers where the bacon got thicker and thicker because as you pushed to hold the bacon in place it was pushing this part down, creating thicker slices. For this slicer, the thickness was consistent. I should have taken a picture, but the bacon is now packaged an in the freezer.Cleanup was OK. The blade comes off easily enough, the carriage flips forward for easy access, and there's only one spot that was a little tight to clean. Overall, no complaints as far as cleaning goes.For $129.98 (there was a $10.00 coupon) you get a home meat slicer that is (at the very least) functional. It works pretty well, it isn't too loud, and it's pretty easy to clean. If you have ever cut a slab of home smoked bacon into slices you will absolutely appreciate this slicer. Keep in mind, though, that you will need to cut the length of your slab in half or in thirds to get it to a size where it will fit on the slicer. This will obviously result in short slices.After my first use, I'm happy with the slicer and thing it is well worth the money.

Great machine
Not cumbersome at all. Since buying this machine I realized how much money I have given away by not slicing meats and cheeses myself! Handle with care but the clean up is a breeze. If you’re on the fence about this machine, just do it. Your gonna love it
