Calamity Kris Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I'm looking to purchase an electric meat slicer. I would like a tabletop model like you would see in a deli, although not that large. I roast and smoke enough meat to justify the purchase. My only requirement is it needs to be easy to clean!!! Please give me recommendations on brand. I have seen prices everywhere from $90.00 to $2,000.00 so I have no idea what a good one should cost. Thanks, CK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 The commercial ones are cleaned often, that must be a common feature. one place to look and maybe get a decent deal is a restaurant supply store. They are constantly buying equipment from failed businesses. E.g., I looked at nhrestequip.com and saw the have a few slicers in stock. I’d be surprised if there is no similar place near you. I’d guess you’re ok with push-pull, in stead of start it and walk away. ive seen them up to $8000. look around webrestaurantstore.com, many many slicers there. watch your fingers.

Subdeacon Joe Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 How hard will you be using it? Makes a difference. If you will be only slicing a stick of salami or a turkey breast once a week, you can likely get by with something like https://www.homedepot.com/p/Cuisinart-Heavy-Duty-Food-Slicer-FS-75/300864185 . If you are slicing 4 or 5 hams, same number of turkey breasts, a couple of beef roasts, along with hard cheese every day, then something about like https://www.homedepot.com/p/Weston-Pro-320-10-in-Meat-Slicer-83-0850-W/306284791 This may help you make your choice https://www.webstaurantstore.com/guide/521/meat-slicers-buying-guide.html Or, go to a deli and ask for suggestions.

Grumpy Old Man Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Commercial slicers are easy to clean. They are heavy, so you do not want to be moving it around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-BAR #18287 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Google is our friend. Only the first one is rated easy to clean, which would be my priority also: https://m.bestreviews.com/best-meat-slicers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okie Sawbones, SASS #77381 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I have a Berkel. I make bacon, bologna, pastrami, and smoked turkey breast. This slicer is a dream. It has numbered settings for thickness of the slice. The 1/2 horse never bogs down. https://www.webstaurantstore.com/berkel-827a-plus-12-manual-gravity-feed-meat-slicer-1-2-hp/165827A.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity Kris Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share Posted March 26, 2019 Thank you all very much. I use Google a lot, J Bar. I wasn't sure if I would be over buying or under buying. That's why I thought to ask our esteemed colleagues with experience in this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
