KWS MS-10XT Premium 320W Electric Meat Slicer 10-Inch in Red with Non-sticky Teflon Blade, Frozen Meat/Deli/Cheese/Food Slicer Low Noises Commercial and Home Use [ ETL, NSF Certified ]

This is an excellent slicer for the home. It easily and quitely cuts meats and cheeses. It is heavy and solid enough that it will not wander on the countertop, and will reliably and repeatedly cut any food item you need a slicer for. The motor is both quieter and more powerful than comparable slicers. Disassembly and cleaning is relatively easy, and parts are available from the manufacturer. The price may be higher than cheap slicers but this slicer will last long enough that you would throw away many $100 or $150 slicers before even coming close to wearing out the first blade on this slicer. However the fit and finish of my unit was a bit off - nothing that was dangerous or interfered with function, but minor annoyances. It was missing color on the body tick mark for the dial. The blade protection ring is very slightly angled. And I needed to use a washer to level the feet for my counter, which I know to be flat (I would have appreciated leveling feet) But none of these cause any hazard or interfere with safe operation. Edit: the tick mark was fixed by a silver Sharpie, I was able to adjust the blade protection ring - there are adjustment screws. So the only real issue was the non-level feet.

it's a work horse and is holding up well. we do our own pigs and beef, a whole animal about six times a year. It is hard to put together initially and hard to clean but worth it.

I received this slicer in pristine condition. Set up was easy and it worked like a charm! Disassembly for cleaning was not difficult and putting it back together took minutes. The blade is wicked sharp so handle with care. I recommend wearing cut proof gloves. My first use was top round steak for jerky and every cut was precise. Would definitely purchase again.

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.

My last slicer only lasted me two weeks, they even used plastic gears that melted, horrible. This time I decided to pay for something with a powerful motor and better build quality and so far I've had no issues with this one. I make a lot of beef jerky, and I personally like mine cut thin so I freeze the meat just a little to stiffen it up. This slicer cuts through semi-frozen meat like it's nothing, and the cleanup isn't too bad. To clean the blade just take out three screws, but you get used to it and should unless you want to get sick and die.

Awesome slicer. Highly recommended

Ok, confession time...I bought this only for making Chicago-style Italian beef sandwiches as I can't get those here in North Carolina. Before this I had a 7-or-8" Wilton slicer I bought at a retail store. Unlike that underpowered toy, this is a quality slicer and is mostly metal. Cleaning is a pain with any slicer and this one requires a little more disassembly...but the end product is worth it. I would recommend this to anyone with the space to store it (and some arm muscles as she's a bit heavy) as this thing is perfect.

I bought this to help save money on buying cold cuts. We are a family of five and i usually spend anywhere from $35.00 to $50.00 a week on cold cuts alone. I have it now 6 weeks and must have cut 100 lbs. of meat if not more. We get the meat wholesale, slice it and freeze it. when the thaw they taste fine on the meats i have cut up already. This also works great cutting American and Swiss cheeses. I like buying whole pork loins and I slice that just as well to make nice thick pork chops and can also make really nice thin ones to make pork Scallopini, and parmigiana. As far as cleaning goes it is not so bad, the blade comes off real easy, 3 screws and one bolt that goes through all to the blade plate. This is my first slicer i ever bought, and i was going to buy one of those for $100.00, but i am glad that i got this one. With all that i have used it for so far, and money that i saved, it paid for itself. the only negative thing i have to say is that knob that you turn to adjust the thickness of the slices, is very stiff to turn, and is small. I am hoping that in time it will loosing a bit. when slicing it just glides along so smoothly cut after cut. The blade is super sharp, and its great that there is a built in sharpener as well to keep it that way. i had bought a 5 pound prosciutto and i was able to make them so nice and thin, you could almost see through it, that surprised me. only problem is when they are that thin it is hard to handle the slices. i will keep updating this review, but for now it definitely deserves 5 stars.
