Cuisinart Kitchen Pro Food Slicer, Meat Slicer with Slice Control Knob Adjusts from 1/32" to 1/2" to Slice Bread, Roasts, and Firm Cheeses, Removable 7.5" Stainless Steel Cutting Blade, FS-75, Gray

This food slicer is fantastic for slicing deli meats, cheeses, or fresh bread to the exact thickness you want. The blade cuts smoothly and efficiently, and the adjustable dial makes switching settings incredibly easy. It’s heavy-duty but surprisingly easy to clean after use.

We bought this Cuisinart food slicer specifically to cut sour dough bread. It works great for that. I make 500g loaves and the round loaves may need you to squeeze in the sides a bit at the widest part in order to fit it in the space allocated, however it works just fine. The adjustable thickness dial also works great and does not move when slicing, it would have been nice if the notches were labeled for thickness. Also I need to remove the plastic safety guard to hold the loaf until it gets small enough to add the guard back but that is no big deal since you hands are nowhere near the blade at any time provided you add the guard back in once the loaf is small enough. I cannot comment on slicing meat or cheese at this time since I really bought it to slice bread and it works great especially for the price vs a commercial bread slicer. It is also lightweight and not to large to store in my kitchen cabinet.

So I gave it 4 stars. First, for those reviewing this with 1-star ratings. I can understand the frustration but it seems like so many are rating this product off of what it can't do versus what it can. If you're looking for a deli-style slicer for paper thin cuts with almost no work to it, yes, this product is not for you. There's a reason commercial slivers cost so much. Ultra thin and well crafted blades with high rpms don't come cheap. For all the reviewers giving this 5 stars, this really is t as great as everyone makes it out to be. There are some serious design flaws and it takes some work and toying with to get the hang of this product. Pros: (1) will slide better than a knife and more consistent than a mandolin. (2) fairly easy to operate. Cleaning didn't seem too bad. You can't put this or any parts in the dishwasher, which is a drawback for home users, but cleaning it didn't make me feel like it was the end of the world. (3) it will cut near paper thing slices if you handle it the right way (4) slices bread in consistent sized slices. I like that this can act not only as a meat and cheese slicer, but also a bread slicer for my fresh baked loaves (5) does really save you money if you buy deli meats in bulk or cure your own deli meats. And the size is not too bad for a slicer. Fairly small and easily storable. It's also very light in weight. Cons: (1) major design flaws. The adjustment knob itself seems fine, but the backing where the object to cut slides it weak. It does move during slicing (2) I don't like the plastic handgaurd. It feels a bit flimsy (3) for something that is only 150w, I feel like inly being able to run it for 10 minutes is a bit frustrating, especially if you have a ton to slice. I understand the nature of the engineering behind it, but for a home - based kitchen appliance one would expect to be able to not have to let the thing "cool off" with such a low wattage rating. This tells me the engineering is not that well thought out. (4) the blade does operate at a low rpm. I suppose it's not the end of the world for a home product, but i feel like they could have designed this a bit better with a higher rpm Suggestions for use: (1) for anything that it cut, if you want consistent sized slices, I would put the object of slicing a little higher. I know this could become a safety issue, so just think while you slice, and keep in mind you have a blade nearby. I've been using about 1/2 in- 1in off the bottom. It definitely yields better and more consistent cuts. I also don't have anything get stuck in the blade. (2) for paper thin slices, you really need to set this almost near size 0. By following the first suggestion, it'll get you there. It won't be consistent, but at least you'll be close enough to be happy (3) don't press too hard on the hand guard. I feel like this is one issue that led me to inconsistent slicing. (4) don't go fast. Doing so will certainly ensure uneven and inconsistent slices. The instructions even direct you to operate slowly. But obviously don't slice, stop, slice, stop midway. You want one smooth slow pass. This will also get you there Overall, this is a home kitchen product which is why I did give it a 4 star rating. If this were sold to me as a commercial product, I certainly would be complaining. Heck, the box even specifies to only use this in a home kitchen. If you're looking to leave your deli and move to home cured or bulk deli meats, then this will get you there. But it does require some playing around with. Don't expect to open this, shove a hunk of meat on it and expect high quality slices. Just like any non-commercial kitchen product, there will be inconsistencies. But for under $70, I think the quality of the product matches with the price well. You just have to learn how to use it the right way for everything you use it for. I've found different speeds of my hand moving and heights really make a difference based on the type of food being sliced.. I know most of us want these things to be intuitive and easy to use, but what can you expect for a kitchen product for less than $100? It does what it needs to do when used in the correct way for each type of food. With all that said, certainly worth the investment so far. I'll give updates if anything changes.

I have wanted a (meat) slicer for quite a while. The weight, size and expenses is what deterred me. We are not heavy users - maybe once a week for a ham, chicken or turkey. Other small stuff occasionally. This is perfect. Compact, light and easy to use and clean (maybe 1 minute to clean it). If you want the razor thin deli meat, you'll have to spend up, this is not a fit for you. Probably gets to 2x deli thickness.

I often look for an inexpensive version of a product when I first buy a new gadget. This was a starter slicer to see if we actually use it and if it saves us money by buying meat and cheese in bulk. Maybe I put too much faith in the brand, but this slicer didn't meet my expectations. Right away, we could tell that the slicer was too lightweight and would move around too much when slicing anything hard. Most of its components are plastic, including some of the internal parts, which ended up being its downfall. The motor is just not very strong, so while it seemed to work fine on meat, it bogged down badly when slicing cheese. I like to freeze meat slightly before slicing it, but this thing couldn't handle that. The thickness adjustment knob has no indicators on it, so we had to make some marks at different depths to get consistent results. It lasted about a year before the insides melted. We used it enough that I feel a new one is justified, but this time, I'll look for a professional version that will last.

I have been looking for a meat slicer for quite a while and I am very happy to find this product. I like Cusinart based on my previous experience of using other products. So without any hesitation, I decided to order this product after I found it. It’s with reasonable price and very easy to operate and clean. The noise level is normal and acceptable to me. From the materials it’s made of, I can see its great quality and feel it’s totally worth the value! I read the instructions carefully before the first use and follow the instructions all the time. In this way, I am pretty sure that I would have a safe use every time and maintain this slicer in good shape. For the first time use, I sliced lamb to make noodles in lamb soup for my family. I rolled up the lamb that I bought from Costco in the freezer he might before using plastic wrap and removed it from the lamb before I started the slicing work. At the beginning when the lamb was still a bit hard, it’s not that easy to operate and the plastic food guide guard didn’t hold the meat very tightly. After defrosting the lamb at room temperature about half an hour, the job became super easy. One important thing to point out is that the machine needs to take a break every 10 min to protect the motor. Overall, it’s a great experience for my first use and I would recommend this product. It won’t disappoint you.

I've been going to buy one of these slicers for years. I researched, watched videos and read reviews before finally clicking 'Purchase'. I've been using it for about an hour now and it's so much better than what I was expecting after reading so many other reviews. No, it's not that loud. No louder than my electric knife. I've sliced a medium steak into shaved steak. I'm sure I could get thinner if I chilled it a little. I sliced a boneless turkey breast that I roasted last night. Nice and thin like the deli. I also did some ham ends that I bought at the deli. I was able to get several more nice thin slices than the pro deli machine could do. I then did a pepper and onion very thin. Worked so well. You need to go easy and let the machine do the slicing. Don't push it against the fence or force it into the blade. It slices like a hot knife through butter. Honestly. It slides smoothly and evenly. I chose this one because it adjusts to about the thickness of an average slice of bread. I have no doubt that it would do a great job on bread. Probably not hot fresh bread out of the oven. Bread just does not slice fresh out of the oven. It's really easy to wipe down clean. The carriage piece slants away allowing you to clean pieces out of there. Great machine that I got for under $50 with my Prime credit card points. Very satisfied!

I didn't want to spend too much on this type of appliance since I will only use maybe once a month to slice my own pastrami and homemade sausages. The reviews for this unit were as positive as any slicer around the $100 price range. I gave it a try since it was a recognized quality brand. So much for name brand trust. I have many issues with this slicer. This slicer is just adequate for the time being. I don't believe that it will last very long. When slicing meat such as pastrami, you have to feed it very slow. The drive is not very strong and the plastic gears will grind (sounds like the gears are jumping out of engagement) if you feed too fast. I suspect that the gears will strip and fail at any time. Before I go on with my review I would like to point out this Cuisinart slicer appears to be identical to a dozen or so other brands on Amazon. I suspect that all of these brands have the same base unit private labeled from some common manufacturer is China. By reference, if this assumption is correct, my review would apply to these models also. Back to my review, the blade on this slicer has a serrated edge. At the slow speed that it runs, it tends to tear the cut surface of the meat. Better slicers use a blade that is not serrated. A smooth cut is achievable on the non-serrated blades. Also a blade that is not serrated takes less torque to cut through any meat or cheese. I can only slice ham with any positive results. Even with ham the slides have to moderate thick deli slices. Meats such as chicken breasts, turkey breasts and pork roast are too soft and are shredded and turned into mush. The last issue is the cleaning of the slicer. The blade and the sliding tray are easily removed for cleaning. That is good and makes cleaning those pieces easy. However, the rest of the slicer has areas that are hard to clean or can not be accessed for cleaning. Granted that some of these hard to clean or uncleanable areas are not primary food contact points, but food safe does require the ability to thoroughly clean even the areas adjacent to the primary contact points. The questionable cleaning areas are under the thickness adjustable plate and the adjuster for this plate. My conclusion it that a smooth edge slicer with a belt drive are the features needed to achieve satisfactory results with a variety of meats and cheeses. Those units are found in the $300+ range.

Amazon are selling American imports in the UK they are a different voltage and have a different plug they are unusable and they will not let you return and refund your money absolute con do not use Amazon again

sold as intl but was 110v power supply which promptly burned out the motor

¡Me encanta esta rebanadora, la uso casi a diario! Aunque, como siempre, es necesario usarla con precaución, la uso mucho pues puedo hacer rebanadas delgadísimas como cortar carne para carpaccio, hasta muy gruesas. Por ejemplo la uso incluso para rebanar el pan y queda muy parejito. Es fácil de limpiar, No es muy pesada, sólo lo suficiente para que no se voltee fácilmente. Y se paga solita. Por ejemplo compro el jamón, salami, etc. en pedazos y sóo voy rebanando lo que necesito, de manera que me sale más barato y la rebanada siempre está fresquísima.

Excellente pour trancher un bloc de fondue.
