Techwood 9” Stainless Steel Blade Food Slicer with Adjustable Thickness, Removable Blade, Non-Slip Feet, Perfect for Cheese, Bread, Fruits & Vegetables

I am very pleased with the slicer. The motor is very quiet. I had an old slicer many years ago that sounded like a boat motor when I was using it. The dial for thickeners is easy to maneuver. Easy to clean. I sliced meat and cheese with great results.

OK, I've used this several times now and still quite happy with it. Nothing new to add excerpt that I would definitely recommend this to any friends looking for a home slicer. Also, putting the slicer on a silicone mat makes a huge difference in stability! Absolutely no sliding as it did on the plain counter (suction cups weren't working too well on the counter, work great on a silicone mat).I purchased this particular brand/model based upon a review of slicers for slicing home cured/smoked bacon. I used it for the first time this morning to slice up some cottage bacon I had cured and smoked yesterday. As the title says, it made pretty short work of slicing up the bacon.This is not a commercial slicer, not even close! It's for home use and the instructions say don't operate for more than 10 minutes. It took a little longer than 10 minutes to slice the bacon, especially since as the piece got smaller it tended to stick to the blade. As I pushed forward the it would slice but the flat of the blade would pick up the bacon I was cutting from and it would spin around on the blade. This happened a few times.The blade cut through the bacon pretty easily, I have no complaints. The part of the slice that moves forward and back to adjust the thickness did not move while slicing the bacon. I've seen other slicers where the bacon got thicker and thicker because as you pushed to hold the bacon in place it was pushing this part down, creating thicker slices. For this slicer, the thickness was consistent. I should have taken a picture, but the bacon is now packaged an in the freezer.Cleanup was OK. The blade comes off easily enough, the carriage flips forward for easy access, and there's only one spot that was a little tight to clean. Overall, no complaints as far as cleaning goes.For $129.98 (there was a $10.00 coupon) you get a home meat slicer that is (at the very least) functional. It works pretty well, it isn't too loud, and it's pretty easy to clean. If you have ever cut a slab of home smoked bacon into slices you will absolutely appreciate this slicer. Keep in mind, though, that you will need to cut the length of your slab in half or in thirds to get it to a size where it will fit on the slicer. This will obviously result in short slices.After my first use, I'm happy with the slicer and thing it is well worth the money.

Let me start by saying I'm not a chef or a butcher. Just someone who likes to cook and prepare homemade meals for my family. I bought this to slice some homemade bacon and roasts. I try to be value conscious, but not to the point of buying something of poor quality (This can be a fine line)Pros:Two 9" bladesAppears sturdy without excess weightUniform slices and easy thickness adjustmentCons:The design of the meat tray makes clean up much more of a challenge.A little noisyQuestionable value for the priceThe stainless plate on top of the sliding platform is poorly designed. It allows bits of food between it and the plastic platform. Removing the stainless plate is a pain, but necessary for proper sanitary cleaning.After removing the stainless plate, I noticed the black plastic bushings on the slide rail are secured to the sliding platform with a couple of zip ties. While I appreciate the simplicity, that type of thing makes me question if the price point matches the quality.Overall, it slices meat. I have used it to slice 40lbs of bacon and several beef roasts without much issue. If you have a small slicing job though, and aren't concerned about super uniform thickness, don't bother taking this off the shelf. You'll spend more time cleaning than you will slicing.There are other meat slicers for half the cost of this unit that would have likely done just as well. So besides the additional blade, I'm not sure if the added price is fully justified. The only other value it might have is longevity. However, by the time that is determined, it will be well past the 30 day return window.at this point, it has done what it is advertised to do. I'm just a bit underwhelmed based on what I paid and if it truly is better than a slicer at half the cost.

So far so good. I received, opened, cleaned, and used it with some bulk Columbus turkey I bought from Costco.WASHING TAKES TIMETake the blade off and wash it with warm soapy water and rinse it. You can use the same soapy water on a rag or towel to wipe down the rest of the machine before use, using a moist dishrag or paper towel to wipe any soap residue off. You can then dry it or let it dry on its ownThe blade is razor sharp. Handle carefully. The blade comes off using a quarter or a nickel or anything like a butter knife with 1/8 of a turn to the right of the small plastic Center pieceThe operation is easy to understand in the manual and is mostly self-explanatory.Take the rubber protection piece off the blade first.I used tin foil to catch the sliced meatPeople are talking about the angle of the blade resulting an uneven cuts. They are referring to it being angled vertically from being wider at the top to be more narrow at the bottom. What this results in is only slicing the bottom part of the meat unless you put pressure or tilt the meat slightly to the left so that it is flush to the blade. This is not a big deal and widening the opening of the blade the adjustment knob will allow you to have larger cuts of meat that are just slightly thicker on one side. Trial and error will tell you what you need to do but it is a minor issue not worth complaining about.Cleaning took 5 minutes.Only the blade goes into water the rest of the machine cannot be rinsed with running water. You need to wash it manually on a dry surfaceBlade off, washed, set asideUse a DRY cloth or paper towel, for lack of a better word "dust" off the meat from the machine...all parts.Use a soapy paper towel to wipe off all surfaces of the machine where ever meat came in contact.Use a clean sightly damp paper towel to rewipe everything.Any crevices where there might be meat just blow on it or spray something to get it out but you will be able to get virtually all meat off the machine if you're careful.Reinstall the blade and add the rubber guard over the portion of the blade that is exposed.If this lasts a while it's going to be a good bye. Do not take it out unless you are slicing at least a pound or so of meat to be used later. You will save a lot of money by buying chunks of turkey or ham or whatever and cutting a pound or so as you need it and storing the rest. I wouldn't use it for just one or two slices of somethingLastly, this looks to be made a good quality. The description says it has a belt mechanism instead of gears which should prevent the common occurrence you see on similar devices of stripped gears.

This is a great product that works as advertised.I am very satisfied with the product.
