Meat Slicer, 200W Electric Food Slicer with 2 Removable 7.5" Blades

**UPDATED REVIEW & UPDATED RATING TO 5 STARS! ** After writting my review and emailing the seller, I was contacted by email back by the seller, Borlebbi. First, they contacted me same day. I wasn't expecting to be contacted until the following Monday, since I sent an email on Friday. They were very prompt in all their responses back, along with being very professional, kind, caring and understanding. They were also very apologetic and took 100% responsibility and accountability for their products, even though I mentioned it could of also been user error. I was looking to see where I could purchase replacement parts. I was not looking or asking for a whole new product. They sent me a new slicer within a few days. The slicer did an amazing job before the gear part broke. I highly recommend this slicer since it does a great job. I 1000% recommend for their customer service. Amazing!! I would and will purchase from this company again and will recommend to all family and friends. By far the best customer service. You can tell they value their customers and stand by their products. Amazing! If i could give more stars, I would 100%! Thank you! I purchased this slicer on September 02, 2024. I have now used it 3 times since receiving. My 3rd time using it slicing cheese I was able to cut 2-3 slices then load noise. I looked to see what was going on. I noticed the the plastic gear had two broken teeth on it. I also nice a couple tiny black pieces. Found that the came off of blade gear shaft. I looked on Amazon for parts for gear but was unsuccessful to find gear part for slicer Model # SL-518M. I contacted Amazon, they were no help. They kept telling me it was past return date after me stating 3-4 times that I did not want to return slicer I was looking for parts to purchase. She then sent me a link to a different slicer. I did send an email to Borlebbi asking for assistance. Since it's Friday morning, I'm sure I won't hear back until Monday unless they work on the weekends. I will update if/when I hear back from them. Other than this, we have loved the slicer. Easy yo use and clean. It did it's job slicing block cheese and lunch meat. I would recommend this product.

So far sooooooo GOOD ! Only have had slicer for a short time . Slices Salami ,pepperoni , ham, summer sausage ,bread, cheese, Pork loin, well . Just realize what you are using and you should be as happy as I am . This is NOT a TURBO CHARGED V-8 slicer . Its a household periodic use machine and it works GREAT . Very well thought out for ease of use and cleaning . Simple blade removal and reinstall . All around nice machine

In my youth I spent more time than I want to remember working in restaurants and working with knives, slicers, mixers, etc. This unit is not for that kind of hard use, but as a home kitchen tool it is excellent. The suction cups hold the machine solidly in place so it doesn’t walk. It is a light machine so I was concerned initially about it being easy to push around a counter top, not a problem. The thickness setting lever works as well as you will need, it also doesn’t drift but stays put on the thickness chosen. It is also in a convenient place to change settings without getting in the way. The moving platform slides back and forth with ease, it will also tip to side for easy cleaning. The food holder/pusher works well enough but you will want to keep it lubed with a food safe grease. I have cut super thin potatoes for potato chips, thick slices to hand cut into french fries, meat, cheese no problem. The true test for me is slicing homemade bread. The thickest setting is 15 mm, perfect for a slice of bread and the machine, with the serrated blade worked perfectly and consistently slicing fresh bread. The blade speed was surprisingly slow compared to an industrial unit, but just as surprisingly it is very functional and probably doesn’t need to go any faster. In general take down and cleaning is a lot easier than an industrial machine. It breaks down into the platform assembly which is the platform, the rod it slides on and the pusher and the blade which is a little tricky but I quickly got used to it. Really fast and easy compared to restaurant machine. Those are all the positives, the negatives are not design and function but associated with manufacturing a machine at a price point we find attractive. The potential future problems are in the construction of the gear system to turn the blade, they are plastic, solid plastic, but plastic none the less. The pusher is also plastic running on a plastic platform, there is a nice piece of stainless plate but it sits on a plastic platform which rides on a plastic wheel along a hollow aluminum rod with plastic tips. This kind of construction is normal in todays world to reduce cost so I expect it, not mad at it, and they did there best with metal a plastic materials to produce and decent product for a decent price point. With that said what does that mean for longevity? I think it will have a reasonably good service life if you treat it right. A knuckle dragging, ham fisted, impatient tool abuser (you know who you are) is going to break this sooner than later. If you are that person pass on this. The blade’s RPM is sufficient but can be overpowered by forcing heavy large pieces into it, be patient let the blade cut. Even on light thinner cuts it is not necessary to see how fast for can work the platform. I have cut a half dozen large onions in less time than it took to peel and prep them by using restraint and some finesse. The blades seem to be of good quality but everything wears sooner or later, take care of them, don’t toss them in a drawer or a sink so they can get all nicked up, dropping them would be a bad thing, especially if you dropped it on a foot. If you are not skilled at sharpening blades, replacements are available at about 25% of the coast of the machine. About those plastic gears, if you insist on abusing this machine and overpower the motor, it will either burn up the motor or break some teeth on the gears. If you are not a tool abuser the same grease you use on the pusher use on the gears a little lubrication/friction reduction is a good thing. One last thing, again a normal part of today’s world, the instructions. Not the worst I have seen but could be much better. If you have not ever operated a slicer watch the videos and keep your fingers out of the way, there is no cure for stupid.

UPDATE: Wow, this must be the best customer service I've ever experienced! They read my review and were concerned about the blade coming off, as they said it should not come loose or come off by pressing on it with whatever I'm slicing, as I said in my original review. They asked if I was sure that I was rotating the button on the blade before locking it, and son of a gun, I (stupidly!) neglected to do that! So you put the blade on, turn the button in the middle (counterclockwise, I believe) until it clicks into place and THEN you lock it. They offered me a refund if I WAS doing that because it's dangerous, of course, for the blade to be coming off. After I locked the blade in place correctly, I sliced a roast beef and a turkey breast with no incidents. It was a breeze and I'm changing my stars to five because it worked wonderfully, I really love the convenience and ease of use, AND their customer service is superb! I used it for the first time today and a few things could be better, but one of the issues was my fault. I bought a roast beef (it's how I convinced my husband that the purchase was worth it--"it will pay for itself!") and when it came time to slice it, I cut the roast in half to work with an easier piece, which is a good thing to do. The blade came off three times while I was slicing! But . . . I realized it was because I was pressing on the roast to make sure the blade was getting a good chunk of it, but the pressing of the roast was actually my pressing on the blade itself, which isn't necessary, so it kept coming off. After I stopped applying the needless pressure, it didn't happen. That habit probably goes back to the manual one I had for years and I had to really press hard while turning the blade. As for clean-up, I noticed that in the reviews, many people were claiming that clean-up was a breeze, while others were calling it a nightmare, and I have a suspicion of why there are opposing opinions . . . it obviously depends on what you're slicing! There was a LOT of juice with the roast beef and it was pretty messy. I removed all the removable pieces and hand washed them in warm soapy water. I used a disposable disinfectant cloth to clean up on the machine what couldn't get wet, but because it was a roast with a lot of juice, there was a good portion of that juice still in an area I couldn't reach: the crevice where the blade apparatus meets the machine itself. After I cleaned it, a few minutes later I saw red juice dripping from that crevice so I kept cleaning and cleaning it because all I could imagine was putting the machine away and how beef drippings would smell in a day if I didn't get every drop! So THAT is the part that wasn't easy. I turned it upside down and still more drops of juice were coming out. I imagine, however, that slicing bread is a breeze! I'm looking forward to that! I suppose I could give it four stars because it does seem well made and has a very strong suction and the slicing was very quick. I wish that little crevice didn't hide so much fluid. The cord could afford to be a little longer and the motor is louder than my floor cleaning machine but it doesn't really bother me because you slice what you need to slice and it's done. It's not like it's running for all that long. All in all, I'm glad I purchased it but I'm hoping I got every last drop of the roast beef drippings before I put it away in my cabinet!

I was on the fence for a long time. I like to buy products ONCE if possible - pain upfront, but a better experience throughout. I debated going with a $300+ model or even getting a used commercial unit. Not on a whim - I spent a summer saving up for college (many years ago) by slicing deli meat at the local grocer, so I know my way around a slicer. The value of this couldn't be denied, however, at about $95 on sale. Does this remind me of the commercial units I used to use? No, not at all. Those things cut through meat and cheese like it wasn't there. It could lop the tip off your finger so cleanly that you wouldn't even realize you were cut until you saw red (ask me how I know). But! Can this give similar results with patience and care? Absolutely. I had no issues 'chipping' meat by slicing it so thin the grain gives up. It does however feel the effort - this is up to 10 times slower to process 4lbs of beef than a commercial unit. However, I don't need to use this all day, all the time. So it's fast enough for home use. Main complaints: it's small, light, and moves readily if not braced by your second hand. There is no good place to hold with your second hand either - so you will be resetting this on your countertop regularly during a session as it walks away from you. The only other complaint I have is that it is unwieldy to process more than about a pound at a time. The platform is just too small. So you will have to batch your cuts. On the upside: easier to clean than expected. Sharp enough blades. Secure and safe to use, low hazard potential with care. One tip: when new, soap and water is not enough to remove the protective oil from the blade. I suggest mounting the blade after washing, turning the machine on, and polishing the entire blade surface, front and back, with food oil on a paper towel held against the rotating surface (use vegetable, peanut, olive, whatever you have on hand). Then remove and wash again. The amount of black material (presumably iron from the production and sharpening of the blade) that comes off on the paper towel makes me grateful I didn't go straight to cutting. Soap will NOT remove this on its own. Overall I'm happy to own this and glad I saved the $$$. I would take my old commercial unit over this in a heartbeat, but those were about half the size of my oven, and probably cost five times as much as said oven. A good product.

Born and raised in Eastern Pennsylvania, I grew up on thinly sliced Land O'Lakes American Cheese. When I moved to Indiana, the only place that sells Land O'Lakes is Meijers Deli, Meijers Deli seems to have a policy that they will not cut Land O'Lakes American Cheese thinly. And the cheese that they do slice they stagger as they slice them causing the cheese to crumble in the bag. Simply put, they don't know how to cut American Cheese for some strange reason... even though I never had an issue anywhere I went in Pennsylvania getting exactly what I wanted. Anyway, I ordered this meat / cheese slicer so I can buy and cut my own 5lb block of Land O'Lakes American cheese exactly the way I want it. Meijers was charging over $9/lb, and Gordon Foods sells the 5lb block for 5.49/lb so I figured the slicer would pay for itself in about 1-2 years. Pros: It can cut a 5lb block of American Cheese as I desired. Getting the slices thin enough (about 1 mm) is a challenge, but doable. Blades are easy to change. Cons: -The adjustable plate needed to be bent backwards in order for the slices to be sliced evenly from top to bottom (1/4 inch gap at the bottom when the top was even with the blade). After I made this initial adjustment it seemed to stay in the proper position. -The cord is very short (about 3 feet), making it very difficult to plug in and use at a reasonable location on the counter. -The motor sounds like it is going to quit at any moment... though it keeps going (bogs down as you put the product into the blade). I ran mine for about an hour. Though it smelled like the motor was heating up during this time, it never stopped. -There is a black plastic part behind the blade that seems to ware down as you cut. The first pound of cheese had little black plastic at the tail end of the cheese.... after that it seemed to die down. -The cheese does not look cleanly sliced, but rather more like it was cut with a saw (I tried both blades with the same result). -It took about an hour to cut 5lbs of cheese. About a quarter pound was shredded into granular bits by the blade and reduced to something akin to saw dust at the base and around the blade. -Cleanup is not easy. It took a solid 15 minutes to clean up. Also there are places that you simply cannot reach with a rag to clean up. Potential health hazard there. All in all, I'm not disappointed to the point of return. If this lasts me for a year it will have paid for itself. I'm crossing my fingers on that one. Doing it again, I think I would spend the extra money for a 10 inch professional model. I'm sure they are much more robust. ****Update June 10, 2023***** Upon reading the above review, the manufacturer, Borlebbi, offered me a complete refund on the slicer. I did not contact them, they contacted me! I took them up on their kind refund offer. So I guess their customer service seems to be very good. I'm tempted to change the star rating, but even though their customer service is impressive, the actual product needs to stay at a 3. So, 3 stars for the product, 5 stars for customer service.

We bought this electric meat slicer to slice smoked hams and turkey breast for homemade lunch meats, and it works well for that purpose. It feels safe to operate, and the instructions included in the kit are pretty clear, which made it easy to get started. Like most meat slicers, it is a bit of a pain to clean, so we try to do a big batch at once to make the cleanup worth the effort. For slicing meats at home, it does a good job and has been useful for making our own lunch meat instead of buying it pre-sliced. For the price, I think it is reasonable. You will not get razor-thin slices like you would at a grocery store deli, but for homemade ham, turkey breast, and similar meats, it works well and serves its purpose.

Cleaned blades out of box. Had to remove the mounts with a screw driver. Not a big problem just inconvenient if you want to deep clean. First test was on a cold cut turkey breast out of the fridge. I was not able to get paper thin cuts using serrated blade. It came out more carved style with a lot of shredding. I may have been pushing it against the platform too hard. Maybe wrong blade despite the picture showing to use it for meat. Next test was for cold havarti cheese. It barely made through a few slices using the straight edge as the description shows a picture of. It had a heavy mechanical burning smell. Like the motor was giving out. Granted havarti is a sticky cheese but I expected it to work without so much resistance. Also several slices came out with black mechanical gunk on them despite cleaning the machine. I am now freezing the meat and cheese to test to see if it's easier or worse. **Update August 2nd 2023** I've been using it atleast once a week on deli meat and cheese and it's performing the same. Atleast it's consistent! It's a complete hassle to clean and really causes a mess towards the end of whatever you're cutting. Like meat and cheese confetti everywhere. Trying to wipe up cheese crumbles just shmears them into the surface of the counter. I will say chedder cheese does cut better than havarti but still crumbles the cheese towards the end. You will not be able to get consistent uniform thin slices no matter what. To change the side of the cuts the blade becomes less angled and does not align evenly with the back plate. Imagine a circular slice of salemi. It will be thicker on one side getting gradually thinner to the other side. Usually it will end up looking like a waxing gibbos phase of a full moon. You will have to rotate the food often or it will come the same shape as the end of an eraser from a pencil box. My biggest gripe is the gap between the pusher plate and the blade of about 1/4inch. It doesn't seem like a lot but about 1lb of meat and deli cheese is the width of 1inch. This leaves about 1/4 lb of product unable to be cut safely. It slides right through the gap. You will have to use a knife to not waste your product at the end. This is frustrating if you portion your meat and cheese out in 1-2 Pounds servings for the week. *update 11/23 knocked down to 1 star* Added pictures of how this thing turns semi frozen medium hard chedder cheese into confetti. Did not you dare try cutting cheese that is soft or warm. This is about half lb of cheese including cheese on the floor not pixtured. Notice the large pieces of broken cheese stuck between the gap of the guide and the blade. This amount of cheese is about 5 slices wasted. This is using the 5 thinness setting which should be considered the lowest setting. It will not cut anything if the dial is lower than that. When you adjust the dial it adjusts the food plate on an angle but NOT the blade. This means the lower the setting the less blade will be used since it does not close the length between the plate and the blade evenly. Motor is starting to smell with less pressure, guide is sticking now, and overall wish I purchased a different brand.

se ve muy bien todavía no lo uso, pero de entrada me gusto espero funcione como espero cuando lo use, lo que si hice fue conectarlo para ver su velocidad y no se ve potente, pero considero que para el jamón serrano si va servir.

The slicer stopped working within a few seconds of trial, without a load. The plastic pusher is somewhat flimsy, and would not stand up to any serious use. Perhaps I am expecting too much for £148, and to be fair, they have issued a full refund on the slicer's return, hence the 3 stars.

Tenía mis dudas por los comentarios, pero es totalmente funcional, práctico y resistente para el uso casero. Jamon, carnes frías, queso, pierna. No esperes ver el disco de corte girando a gran velocidad, pero lo que tienes es perfecto.

Busqué varias opciones y esta pe pareció que ofrece la mejor relación precio-calidad ya la he estado utilizando con carnes, pan, queso y vegetales y funciona sin ningún problema, es fácil de limpiar y viene con dos cuchillas y una pequeña charola que se adapta bajo la cortadora para recibir los cortes y evitar ensuciar la mesa.

La especificación dice 2 discos y por eso el precio más caro que de un disco y te mandan la caja que solo trae un disco, por está el precio es más barato. Es un engaño.
