Review: You get what you pay for! - This is one of those times when you hear "you get what you pay for" and it means you're paying a little more but you're getting a high quality item that is going to serve you well for years to come! This thing is rock solid! I've used commercial slicers before and this home version is right up there with the best of them. No, it doesn't have an auto slice feature, but unless you're planning on cutting thousands of slices per day you don't need that anyway. The thickness adjustment is smooth and provides a wide range to choose from. Slicing meat is a breeze. Slicing cheese, even if not slightly frozen, is still fairly easy, but it's really easy if it's COLD (not frozen, but not just refrigerated either....I put a block in the freezer for about 75 minutes and was perfect). If you plan on doing cheese a LOT you may want to consider the teflon coated blade. The only hard part is lifting it. This thing is heavy! So find a place for it and leave it there! lol Disassembly can be a little difficult if you tighten the screws too much, but once you get the screws loosened the rest of disassembly is straightforward and simple. Just be careful you don't cut yourself on the blade. It is sharp! I highly recommend purchasing a blade removal tool or some cut resistant gloves for when removing the blade.
Review: A great slicer - This slicer is awesome. I use it to slice many different meats, but mostly either beef roasts or bacon that I cured and smoked. Although I have not made prosciutto, I have tried slicing the bacon that thin, and I can do it. Pros: easy to use, repeatable slices at thick or thin. I slice bacon thick (setting 5) and beef for sandwiches at about setting 2. One hint is to slice the meet when it is cool, but not frozen. You can slice frozen, but it tends to be difficult. The slicer runs very quietly and smoothly, and cuts through the meat with little effort. Note that neither this slicer nor any other I have seen is intended to cut bones - don't do it. Cleaning is not all that difficult, but you do have to take the machine apart including taking the blade off, which has three screws that hold it in. It takes me about 15 minutes to clean it. Unfortunately you need to do it by hand. Also, the blade is unbelievably sharp; so, I HIGHLY recommend you get some of the gloves that are intended for dealing with sharp knives, etc. They look like chain mail. The slicer comes with a sharpening stone that is easy to install and use, and it works! Cons: The instructions are not so obvious. Fortunately, the slicer came with the blade on; so, you don't need the assembly instructions. Some reviews complain that the slicer is too heavy (40 lbs), but it has to be; otherwise it would slip all over the place. That said, the weight is not really a con, but a necessity both because of the powerful motor and for stability. The only real con I can come up with is that there are a few little nooks and crannies in which meat "dust" tends to accumulate; so, cleaning requires some care. I use Clorox wipes followed by a damp paper towel. To deal with the weight, I purchased a rolling table from Ikea that is the same height as my counter top. This has a wooden butcher block top and two metal shelves. Perfect for the slicer, and I can roll it into the laundry room when it is not being used. Again, I can't recommend enough some good gloves for handling the blade if you like your fingers. I got these: NoCry Cut Resistant Gloves - High Performance Level 5 Protection, Food Grade. Size Large for about $10. Well worth it. I have seen that the slicer comes in a 10" model and a 12" model. Go for the larger size. You will need it. Also, there is an option to get a Teflon coated blade or not. Go with it, it is only about $10 more, and the Teflon keeps the meet from sticking to the blade. Not the edge, of course, but the rest of the blade.

## Features

- Premium 304 Stainless Steel Blade: The rust-resistant, durable 12-inch 304 stainless steel blade minimizes food sticking and enhances slicing efficiency. The Teflon coating ensures smoother cuts through semi-frozen products and cheeses, allowing you to achieve professional-quality results that keep your customers coming back for more.

- Quiet Operation: Powered by a high-quality 420W pure copper motor, the KWS MS-12DS operates quietly, making it an ideal choice for both bustling commercial kitchens and serene home environments.
- Built-In Dual Whetstones Sharpener: Keep your blade razor-sharp with the built-in sharpener. This feature ensures smooth slicing, enhances the longevity of the slicer, and reduces downtime in busy kitchen settings.
- User-Friendly Design: The removable product tray accommodates food items up to 8.5” (L) x 11” (W) x 8” (H) and can be easily detached for thorough cleaning, making kitchen maintenance a breeze.
- High-Quality Aluminum Construction: All critical components, including the grip handle, product tray release knob, thickness adjustment control, sharpener knob, product tray handle, and legs, are built with aluminum instead of plastic. This not only enhances the slicer's durability but also ensures a professional-grade feel and reliability in every use.
- Safety and Compliance: The KWS MS-12DS is ETL and NSF certified, ensuring it meets the highest safety and sanitation standards required for commercial kitchen equipment. You can operate with confidence, knowing you have a reliable and compliant slicer on your team.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It’s what you’d expect for the price. Nothing more or less
*by A***A on April 9, 2022*

Spent countless hours over many months deciding which meat slicer to get, after watching every video, reading all the reviews on all the variations and brands of slicers, pricing every slicer everywhere. Decided to get this one, and am satisfied with value, material quality, size and cut quality. I will state I’m very particular and expect every cents worth from my dollar. It’s far better than the under $200 slicers, it’s enough better/bigger than the $3-400 slicers to be worth the difference if you need the increased size/power, and it’s high enough quality to be worth saving the additional $800 you’d spend on a big H brand slicer unless you plan on running this in a commercial setting nonstop (this is not my use so I can’t say either way if it’ll do that from experience). Just right for a home kitchen, someone who processes their own meats, food truck, small restaurant, caterer, and others who might use a meat slicer a few hours per day. Size wise it will cut full sides of bacon into paper thin or thick cut slices as good as the butcher shop can, will fit large roasts for cheesesteak or sandwich meats, will turn large cuts into steaks of any thickness 1/2” or under, it’s a bit oversized for summer sausage but still cuts it perfectly. Sliced 5lbs of frozen beef roast in about 15 minutes, paper thin and better than the butcher will do it. I prefer my deli meats shaved so thin they’re basically transparent and it gets that job done well. 1/2hp motor doesn’t bog down and will slice anything I can fit onto the feed table including hard cheeses like aged cheddar. If you’ll mostly just be slicing sandwich meats you’ll be ok with a smaller model, but if you want to be able to slice at the same level as the deli counter this one gets the job done. Be aware it is the same size as most deli counter meat slicers, this is not going to fit under a cupboard, it’s pretty much the same depth as a countertop. Have a plan for storage if it won’t always be on the counter, I’m placing it on wheeled cart so I can easily move it to the food prep area when it will be used, then the sink, then back away without having to lift this appx 60lbs multiple times for each use. People mention clean up in many reviews, the blade tool makes this a stress free process and worth the additional cost in my opinion. Like any nsf slicer this needs to be disassembled for cleaning, a straightforward process similar to any other slicer of the same type 9”-10”-12”-13”. Just remove feed tray with one knob and wash in sink, remove blade shield to wash front of blade while the blade is attached, then remove blade with tool and wash back side and then sanitize the body, reassemble in reverse, takes 10-15 minutes. Watch a cpl how to videos and you’ll be okay. Arrived on time undamaged direct from KWS in Southern Cali, ordered on a Monday and it was on my step in the Midwest by lunch on Friday. I rarely write reviews but was satisfied enough with this item that I took the time to do this one, maybe it’ll help someone like me who was on the fence… only regret is I didn’t order it earlier… I got no discount, no kickback, and have no affiliation with KWS. Paid full price, and am sharing my opinion of the KWS MS-12DS slicer only. Although I would expect that all their 12” slicers are very similar and likely their 10” slicers as well, are of the same quality and value. I doubt it’s going to break with my use, but I would buy another one. Hopefully any of that was helpful to someone considering this.
