KWS MS10XT Premium Commercial 320W Electric Meat Cutter 10 Inch Red with Non Sticky Teflon Blade, Frozen Meat and Low Noise Commercial Thinning Machine

This is a very good meat slicer. it cuts cold cuts like cutting butter.

This slicer is heavy duty, quiet and can slice prosciutto and other hard meats very thin. It is working well.

I got this primarily to slice meat for slicing meat for Korean barbeque and for jerky. I could never get the butcher at the grocery to cut the meat as I requested. The red slicer is pretty (except for a couple of scratches it came with), but I anticipate more scratches over time. I wish an identical silver model had been available for the same price. As far as performance: When I was working with meat that was half frozen, it made quick work of slicing a roast, with smooth cuts and back and forth movement of the platform. However, it didn’t perform well with a raw roast that was not frozen — the meat was just not firm enough to keep its shape, and shifted off kilter on each pass back. I haven’t tried cooked meat yet. As far as cleaning. Holy Moly. It took me about 45 minutes to get it apart and clean the pieces. Believe the complaints about the screws on the blade being so tight you are in danger of stripping the heads. I had to get my husband to work the screwdriver while I held the blade and the slicer still (The blade kept spinning as he tried to turn the screws.) With very slow turning and hard pushing, he finally got them loose without stripping them. Now that I’ve done it once, it won’t take as long the next time, but it will still be a 30 minute task. Overall I’m pleased with the slicer because it does a great job for my purpose — but because of the pain to clean, it probably won’t be something I’ll pull out casually to do a small quick job. UPDATE: I did a second round of slicing and cleaning was much quicker and easier now that I know what to do (and what NOT to do). Tips: In addition to protective gloves, I put a towel on the area under the blade as I was removing or replacing it, to avoid scratches on the paint, and also for safety. Also — I put some plastic wrap on the back plate (where the meat lands). It made cleanup and sanitizing a lot easier. I also covered the on/off switch and the thickness knob with plastic wrap so as not to contaminate them. And finally, I put rubber gloves on OVER my kevlar gloves — it kept them clean, dry and sanitary.

I read reviews and this slicer was highly rated. I bought this specifically to slice Italian meats super thin. Specifically proscuitto which needs to be 0.5mm. The super thin slicing changes the flavor and texture of the meat and is amazing. This slicer cut the proscuitto so thin that I could see light through it. I have not used it to cut other meats and thicknesses but I am sure it will perform perfectly

I bought this ~6 months ago, and sliced on it ~36 Lb. of Prosciutto di Parma, ~20 Lbs of Mortadella, ~22 Lbs of Prosciutto Cotto, about 2 Pancette, about ~15 Lbs of Speck, among other things. I do not cut cheese, I do not cut frozen meat, neither do I cut bred or thick slice of anything--as common among Americans. So those interested in such functionalities (most people) might disregard this review. My main aim was to find a slicer that a) could be used for Italian/European meats b) did not look ugly on my countertop. This has met both requirements. It really can cut prosciutto or even pancetta as thin as you wish. Some suggestions + If would look better if the color was matte red rather than sparkling + The knob has settings for thickness 0-12. For my use I am confined to finely finding the right position between 0 and 0.85, which, as you might imagine, is not very easy. I would rather have preferred a non-linear relation between the knob and the thickness at the blade, so that thin settings could be more finely controlled. This is only relevant for the use with European delis which need very thin cuts. + When it arrived it did not start. The blade was stuck. I dismounted the blade and remounted it. There is some minimal wobbling in its rotation that does not seem however to affect functionality. + Some people complained that cleaning is long. It depends what you slice. I find I can clean and sanitize it in about 8 minutes. Seems reasonable to me. + The cart is not as smooth moving as it could be. I had to grease it. Also: make sure to wear proper protective gloves when removing the blade.
