Product Description
For the caterer or serious gourmet, this food slicer is ideal. Not as large or heavy as commercial slicers but up to the job of slicing meats, cheeses, fruits, vegetables and bread efficiently and quickly, this solidly constructed model offers a lot of power in a more compact size.Amazon.com Review
Designed for household use, this electric food slicer operates either upright for meats and cheeses or tilts 30 degrees to gravity-feed vegetables, fruits, and bread to the blade, making it easy to make sandwiches for the family or slice a ham or a block of cheese. The 100-watt condenser motor operates quietly and the carriage travels smoothly. The slicer’s 7-inch, surgical stainless-steel blade removes for cleaning and sharpening. A calibrated thickness-adjustment knob permits slicing from paper thin to about 3/5 of an inch. A plastic tray for catching sliced food comes with the slicer. Safety features include a hidden childproof switch that prevents the slicer from turning on and an automatic on/off switch on the thickness control knob that shuts the unit off as soon as the thumb releases pressure. (The on/off switch can also be set for continuous operation.) The parts disassemble easily for cleaning. Made of rugged plastic and stainless steel, the slicer weighs 11 pounds and measures 14 inches wide, 10-1/2 inches high, and 11-1/2 inches deep. It carries a one-year warranty against defects. –Fred Brack
Chef’s Choice 632 International Gourmet VariTilt Electric Food Slicer
I buy lots of gadgets that seem like a good idea at the time but wind up being rarely or never used. This slicer is different. I’m already choosing meals based on what I can slice (I know, I should get a life). Yesterday, I bought a cut of roast beef I’d normally never consider (too tough) because it looked like a good one to slice thin. That roast was last night’s dinner, and was delicious. As other posters have said, the Chef’s Choice is pretty easy to clean, making it a distinct improvement over the cheap slicer I bought (and consigned to the back of a closet) years ago. Yeah, the Chef’s Choice isn’t cheap. But I consider it a good value, and a valuable part of my kitchen arsenal.

I HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE A VERY GOOD PRODUCT, AND EASY TO USE. I WOULD GIVE IT A 5 STAR RATING IF ALL THE REMOVABLE PARTS COULD BE WASHED IN A DISHWASHER. I CAN’T SEE WHY THEY COULD NOT BE.

excellent slicer. works well for slicing meats thin if you like. The food tastes wonderful thin and win! The only thing that is a slight problem for me is when i take the base off where you lay the meat on I always have a problem getting the slide thing back on. But i’m sure I will get the hang of it hopefully. Other than that it is a wonderful slicer. Buy it!

My mom wanted a meat slicer for Christmas. She reports that this one does an excellent job and is really easy to clean. My dad jokes that she now slices everything.

This does not ship well. I gave it 2 stars because it looks like it would do the job.
