Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

After seeing so many great reviews I decided to go ahead and take a leap with this particular slicer. Just to get this out-of-the-way, I’ve owned two slicers and have worked in delis. This is going to sound harsh and I waited to write this review so that I could take out as much personal sentiment as possible. 1. The space provided for the placement of the meat measures at 6 1/2 inches, if you’ve operated a slicer before you know this means that you can only sliced meat that’s around 5.5 inch thickness. For large cuts such as tri-tip, brisket flat, bottom sirloin and top sirloin etc the slicer is useless. 2. The removal of the blade is not practical, which means cleaning it is a huge challenge. If I can’t effectively clean the slicer, you can give it to me for free and I still wouldn’t want that slicer. 3. Other slicers have clearance so that you can slide a plate under to catch the meat, this one has none. Where are the meet comes off, is in a very awkward place. 4. An extension from #3 above, The slicer is not properly angled. You will find that properly angled slicer the meat will fall off easily and safely, onto a plate. 5. This is probably minor compared to what I wrote on 1-4. This slicer is low in quality, and feels cheap. That said, I realize it was sold at $190 plus freight, you get what you pay for. Buying things based on Amazon rating, is beginning to disappoint me. I will be returning this unit and feel free to reach out to me if you want any more detail regarding my review.
