Review on KWS MS-10NS Premium Commercial 320w Electric Meat Slicer: Efficient Stainless Steel Blade for Deli, Frozen Meat, Cheese, and More, Low Noise - ETL and NSF Certified for Commercial and Home Use by Alisa Romero

So I have worked in many restaurants and have experience with many machines. I can tell you that this machine is almost identical in quality and design to the "more valuable" models that restaurants buy if it is a limited use product. In other words, a full service deli would like a better car, but they would cost around a thousand. These machines typically cost between $500 and $650. Pros: This device can slice almost anything you throw at it, although very large frozen meat will take some time. I've cut frozen beef tenderloin and frozen pork loin with it and it's been fine. Since this is a real home model update, you will notice some differences. That is hard. The jaws lock into certain positions because they are studded with sharp spikes and you can't dangle them. The sliding arm doesn't move as smoothly as the Hobart, but you're paying half the price for a device that does the same thing, perhaps a little more slowly. I've had two "Heim" slicers and they don't compare. CONS: This isn't a $1,500 Hobart you might see at a grocery store. It doesn't work in automatic mode and isn't as fast on sticky cheese. It slices very thinly, but you have to be careful not to let them fall back into the blade. Home Blocks are designed to be easier to clean. Many of the properties that make cleaning easier also reduce their effectiveness on large cuts of meat, especially when frozen. Disassembly isn't too bad, but there's no dedicated tool to remove the blade. I would invest in cutting gloves. Probably get one of the chain mail type. You'll need to loosen the large knobs, remove the blade adapter, and then unscrew and remove the blade if you want to keep everything clean. This applies to all commercially available slicers. The entire process including cleaning takes about 5 minutes. Conclusion: If you want to chop some meat or cheese here and there, you are probably better off using a smaller, home-made model. They are lightweight, easy to clean and ideal for small jobs. But if you want to slice frozen meat (needed to get the thin slices needed for banh mi and other Asian dishes) and are frustrated by the limitations of the small ones, this is a great buy. Dollar for dollar, you won't get as many cars at this price anywhere else that I've seen. Their website is hard to find because it really caters to Asian markets but if you search it's there. This company makes BIG machines for heavy industrial food production. (from tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars). If I opened a restaurant, I could spend a little more. But for someone who cuts meat two or three times a week and finds a use for a slicer, I couldn't be happier.
