Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Well most reviews are just about features, not about what the products are intended to be used for once purchased, so I figured I'd take a different approach and maybe it would help someone who may be deciding to buy this slicer. When I was reading the many reviews on the multitude of slicers on Amazon I was confused as to why even slicers over $200.00 had buyers who were not satisfied. I was looking for a slicer to cut pork roll which is a fav at work and I get a roll about 6lbs and 5 inches in diameter and maybe a foot and a half long. You can't cut it by hand without getting fat and skinny edges on the same slice. This slicer however performed very well for the money. Most reviews I read said hard to clean, not enough power, sucks on cheese. Well, maybe cheese is too sticky when you cut it and pulls on the blade causing it to drag and slowing the motor down. maybe you need a commercial slicer for 300.00 or more or go sloooooooooooooooooower. I had not one bit of problem cutting, cleaning, or using this slicer to get the job done. I don't take it apart to clean, I wipe it down with soap and water after each use. Blade is still sharp as the day I bought it.i guess what I'm saying is that expectations seem to be too high for some people who purchase a slicer for under a hundred dollars. This thing is great for meats i will say. The motor seems very safe by slowing down the speed to keep your thumbs attached to your hand. i think it would be just about impossible to cut your self. I wipe the blade when it is running, with a dishcloth, and never even came close to having a scare. I imagine someone will prove me wrong and do it. We will call him lefty. Ha Ha. Well, to finish my review I will just say this is a great slicer for the price and I use it every week. If you are easily disappointed and think you should get everything when you paid next to nothing, then you probably won't be happy with whatever slicer you end up buying. Everyone else, stimulate your surplus by spending less for this quality slicer.
