OSTBA Electric Meat Slicer with 7.5” Stainless Steel Blades, 150W

I’m really happy with this meat slicer. It’s easy to use and works really well for slicing meat at home. The stainless steel blade cuts smoothly, and I like being able to adjust the thickness depending on what I’m preparing. It’s especially convenient when I want to slice meat for hot pot, sandwiches, or other dishes. It’s also easy to clean after use and doesn’t take up too much space. Very useful for home cooking, and I’m glad I bought it!

I got this so I can cut my own kbbq meat at home. I found that slicing your own kbbq meat is beneficial for 2 reasons: cheaper prices and control + consistency over thickness of slices. Specifically I mainly slice brisket for kbbq into thin 2-3 mm pieces (if you slice thicker than this then the brisket can be chewier/harder than desired for kbbq; typically you want brisket pretty thin). I've found the key to slicing this thin is freezing your brisket first. I buy a full brisket at costco or sam's club, then cut it into chunks that I can slice in the future, then freeze it. I don't mean freeze it for 2-3 hours pre-slicing. I mean full on freeze - leave it in your freezer for days, weeks, months for all I care. Then start slicing them when you're ready. You'll get thin consistent slice every time. Better than purchasing it pre-sliced at the market because those are inconsistent sizes and sometimes too thick. I do the same with pork belly - buy at costco, cut it up into slicing size, and freeze it. Then I slice to pork belly samgysaal size and I'll even slice some really thin for think pork belly rice bowls. Tastes great! So far this has lasted great - I've used it at least once a week and haven't had to change blades yet either. The power is fine and does not stop suddenly even with cutting frozen meat for more than an hour. Clean up is fairly easy but does take time. I unscrew the blade every time to wash it. Taking off all the parts that can be washed is easy - simply wash those in the sink. The hardest part is wiping down the machine parts with hot/warm cloth, soapy suds, and then again with hot/warm water. I try to take care of my machine to make it last longer and to make sure there is no contamination/germs for the family. Key tip: I use a toothpick to get the little pieces of meat that stick to the harder to reach crevices in the machine. Overall - this has really served me well especially for KBBQ and I'm very pleased.

I bought this OSTBA meat slicer to fulfill my dream of having paper-thin prosciutto at home. I can confirm that this machine works incredibly well. It slices through meat and cheese with the grace of a hot knife through butter. It is actually a bit too good, which makes me feel like a dangerous professional deli clerk. However, I must issue a small warning. Operating this thing has given me the same level of caution as a cartoon villain handling a bomb. I treat it with absolute respect, keep my fingers miles away from the blade, and use the child safety lock like my life depends on it. On a serious note, the 200W motor is surprisingly strong. I am giving it 4 stars because while the slicing performance is top-tier, cleaning it can be a bit of a puzzle. You definitely have to be careful with the blade removal process, and it takes a little extra effort to get all the tiny food bits out of the crevices. Still, I am now the most popular person in my household during sandwich hour, and I have all my fingers intact. It is a fantastic machine for the price, just keep your fingers clear and your cleaning supplies handy.

I’ve only used this a few times so far, but I bought it mainly so I could slice meat for schnitzel and other dishes where I want a particular thickness that’s hard to get from the deli or butcher without feeling like I’m being overly picky. For as much as I’ll use it, the quality is good, it does exactly what I need, and it’s very easy to clean. I would recommend using a mesh glove when cleaning it, but that’s just good meat slicer safety in general. So far, so good. It does what I bought it for, and for the money, I think it’s a great value.

I don’t usually do reviews but this thing is sweeeeeeet. Don’t expect commercial quality build for $100 but sure is a lot better than slicing 5lb of beef for jerky by hand. I also did turkey breast on it which some parts of were mostly frozen and it didn’t even blink. Seems like the motor is plenty powerful. Blade spins slower than I expected but i haven’t found that to be a problem in usage. I try to keep my kitchen gadgets to a minimum but I think I’ll enjoy having this around. The back part where the food will push against (parallel to the blade) is pretty flimsy so i’ve noticed sometimes slices come out a little wider on one end than the other but its not drastic. It comes apart real easy to clean. Easy to adjust width. I’ve cut about 8 pounds of meat with it and never felt like it needed more power. Real thin slices can be a little tough to get but it can do it for the most part. For $100, im pretty happy with it

I'm leaving my original review below for whom it may concern. I found that semi-frozen meat solves my issue of the great inconvenience I experienced in using this product. It's actually not bad, and does the job when freezing the meat for a little bit. The meat was no longer shredding nor sticking to the blade and going on a Merry-Go-Round ride! Still I'm sure there are better products out there, but for the price I think it's a fair deal and does the job. Maybe the whole problem was me and my lack of experience in using the slicer. So If you were on a budget, go ahead and order it. It's actually not bad. I just learned to disregard the good reviews and look for the 3 starts and under from now on because those are the real ones apparently. Before buying this, I was able to slice perfect slices of meat using a sharp knife and have no waste at the end. I thought to make my life even easier and bought this piece of C**** thinking it was gonna cut the slicing time in half. Turns out, between the slicing process (NOT SMOOTH AT ALL) and then the cleaning, I didn't save any time. All I did was spend more money, waste more meat, suffer shoulder pain from having to push so hard on the meat, (using the SMALL-CHEAP piece of plastic they provide), so the meat won't move while being sliced. And it still moves and spins on the SLOW rotating blade!!! And while having to push so hard on it, the setting changes and the slices start getting thicker with every slice!!! The shredded meat you see in the picture wasn't all of it. I had to use some of it for my home-made jerky because it was too much waste. I'm not a weak man, I work out and I'm in great shape YET my shoulder starts hurting from having to push on it so hard. and WHY is the blade rotating so slow????!! This whole thing is a total waste of money unless you plan on slicing cucumbers with it or something!! The only good thing about it was the suction to hold it in place. THAT'S IT!!

Upgraded from another brand - had problems on the lower end with pieces cutting cleanly. I make my own bacon and smoke cheeses. I need a slicer that is reliable on thickness and will cut cleanly on the whole piece without that annoying bottom flap, especially on pork bellies. The two blades are a blessing. Slicing smoked cheeses is a breeze, each piece is uniform and it just ends up a visually appetizing product. The blades are SO easy to interchange, too. The safety features are just that - they are not intended for the challenged-of-patience or, "I got this," ilk. I have another OSTBA machine and while the writers of the instructions may think they're clear, you gotta trial-and-error and interpret to figure out what works. It may take some doing. But do not lose heart. Once you become one with the machines, they are WONDERFUL kitchen-quality essentials if you desire to feed your family and friends with home-prepared, less-chemically-enhanced protein. It's a lot of work but my husband wouldn't trade my home-cured bacon or smoked Pepper Jack for anything you could get at the local hoy-poloy deli and pay bucks-tons more for, and I control the chemicals. Moms, if you're slicing you kids' school lunch meat from bologna you've cured and aged. this puppy is for your routine. Haven't tried it on fruit, though. I found that bacon does best when half-frozen. Blessing.

This slicer for home use as opposed to commercial grade was bought as a replacement for our previous slicer which was lost in a move. I like that it cuts the workload time substantially when one has a lot of food needing slicing prep work compared to having to slice everything by hand with a knife & cutting board. I also like that it has safety features & dissembles for easier cleaning. I would give it 4 stars in terms of function & operation. What I didn’t like was the fact that this slicer has more plastic parts & pieces as opposed to more metal pieces having been used in the making of our previous slicer. Also, I don’t like that there is nothing to catch the sliced meat resulting in the sliced pieces ending up dumped on the counter. Although there are safety features one still must be mindful & careful when operating such a piece of machinery. I might suggest the use of protective gloves when operating it. In terms of time management the biggest factor to consider is how much food you have to slice. As stated previously, this slicer is good to have if you have food prepping to do which requires a good quantity of food in need of slicing. When needing but a small amount of food to be sliced it might be much more practical, in terms of use of time & effort, to use a knife & cutting board to slice a smaller amount of food as you have to take into consideration just how much time you will need to take out & set up the slicer followed by the time needed to dissemble, wash, put it back together, & then put it away after use. I like things organized so I ended up keeping the box it came in to store the slicer when it’s not in use.

Bad bad device ! Already broken! Don’t buy it.
