Choose Your Thickness

You have the opportunity to choose your thickness with this meat slicer. It will slice anywhere from the thinnest deli meat up to around ¾ of an inch thick. This allows you to vary your thickness depending on your needs and the specific dish you are hoping to achieve.

Food Carriage

Cost and Value

Owning your own meat slicer can really save you a lot of money if you put it to good use. You are more likely to use a tool that works well and requires minimal effort from you. This unit is that. It is electric, has a high power motor, and will slice very thin or much thicker. It can slice it’s way through pretty much anything and by doing so, easily earns its somewhat expensive price tag. However; if put to good use, it will pay for itself in very little time and start saving you money after that.

Slice it Thin

Do you require your meat or cheese to be sliced very thin? This unit will do that for you. It’ll also go thicker if that is more your style. You will often find yourself more than pleased with the fact that your meat is cut thinner than what you can find at restaurants for various dishes such as Hot Pot and Shabushabu.

Feels Safe

While wielding a large, spinning blade can feel a little apprehensive and not something you’d want to do in your kitchen on a regular basis, this slicer makes you feel safe while you are doing it. As long as you use the unit as it is intended, there will be no issues. It is sturdy and won’t tip over and does come with a handguard.

Cost and Value

This unit comes to you at a very good price. It’ll more than pay in a short period of time depending on how often you use it. It will effectively cut all of your meat, veggies, cheese, etc. for far less than they charge you at the deli counter or what you pay for a veggie tray. Ultimately, if you put it to good use, you’ll be more than satisfied with your purchase and the money spent.

Easy to Clean

A big problem with owning your own meat slicer is that they can be a big pain to clean. This one addresses that issue because let’s be honest, if you don’t like to clean it you aren’t likely to use it. This can be taken apart into three pieces - the blade, food tray, and the base which is where you find the motor. The blade and food tray can be immersed to be cleaned and should be thoroughly dried before putting back together. It is easily assembled and taken apart.

Slices it All

This unit will slice just about everything you need it to. The biggest, most obvious thing we’re talking about slicing here is meat and it handles that like a breeze. However; it’ll also do cheese and even bread and anything else that you might want to put in between. You can slice every piece of your sandwich here - which also means you have much better control about what goes into it and portioning.

Cost and Value

As is the case with all other units on this list, over time your meat slicer will end up paying for itself. However; this one is on the cheaper end of things, to begin with. You more than get your money’s worth and will be much better, and healthier, for it.

Removable Blade

While it may never be appropriate to say that cleaning a meat slicer is easy, this one does come close to that. The blade is easily removed so that you can thoroughly clean and reattach it. This also makes changing it out not a terrible process either if you’d rather have a straight blade or like to switch between different ones.

Suction Grip Bottom

The bottom of this unit has a suction grip which means that it will grab onto your counter when it is in use. This allows you to feel safe and secure when using it. You won’t have to worry about it falling or slipping or causing any sort of damage. In fact, you’ll have to put a little muscle to move it - but not too much.

Cost and Value

This model allows you to get all the benefits of a quality meat cutter without all the upfront price. Not only will you be saving hundreds of dollars long term, but you will also save a significant chunk upfront. This Gourmia works like a dream and will satisfy any food slicing needs you may have at home.

Numerical Scale

There is a numerical scale knob adjuster on this slicer. It allows you to adjust the thickness or thinness of the cut and have a visual while doing so. Take the guesswork out of deciding how thick or thin your cut is. Adjust it easily and right to where you want it every time.

Sliding Meat Carriage

The sliding meat carriage here is a great addition for a number of reasons. First off, it allows the cuts that it makes to be neat and consistent every time. Secondly, it keeps your hands safely away from the blade the entire time it is cutting. This ultimately means better meat and fewer cuts of your hands.

Cost and Value

This is one of the least expensive units here. If you aren’t looking for anything super fancy, but instead want a basic model that will take up minimal space in your kitchen or business this is your meat slicer. It will do any job you present to it with ease and will also be easy on your pocketbook both initially and as time goes on.

Spiked Meat Holder

An awesome feature found here is a spiked meat holder. It really goes a long way when it comes to keeping your meat in place. This helps to give you nice, consistent, cuts as the meat isn’t wiggling around, and also helps prevent you from having to hold it in place which potentially places your hands in danger.

Bigger Blade

The blade that this unit uses is just a bit bigger than most of the others on this list. While others ring in at 7.5 inches, this one boasts a full 8.7 inches. This allows for it cut meat slabs that are just a little bit bigger than the others. This is particularly helpful when looking to slice bacon that often has to be cut or trimmed to simply fit through other meat slicers.

Cost and Value

The price here is exactly right. It’s closer to the higher end price-wise, but the bigger blade and spiked meat tray make it more than worth the extra splurge. It can be used both at home and commercially and will more than pay for itself with even moderate use.

Safe Design

The design on this meat slicer is such that it keeps your fingers safely away from the blade. It has an automatic meat tray and doesn’t require any intervention from you while it is running. In addition to safety, the design is such it is also easy to clean - which is a big perk.

All Temperatures

Do you like to slice your meat when it is frozen or at least partially so? Or do you prefer to cook it and slice it warm? Either is an option with this meat slicer. It does both hot and cold extremes and anything in between with ease.

Cost and Value

This is an excellent meat slicer for the cost. It will do everything it says it will and everything you want it to. However; it does fall at a lower price point than the fanciest units available. If you want something that is perfect for home use, this is that. If you want something that is perfect for heavy commercial use, then this may not be your best bet. As long as your expectations are where they should be, you’ll love this handy money-saving meat slicer.

Built In Sharpener

The best cuts happen when you have a sharp blade. A blade is kept it’s sharpest when it can be regularly sharpened. What better way to ensure that happens than to install a dual whetstone sharpener right on the unit? This makes sharpening almost part of your meat slicing routine and will guarantee you get the best results possible.

Fixed Ring Guard

One way to ensure that you won’t get any unintentionally cut fingers is by installing a fixed ring guard above your blade. That is just what you will find here and if safety is one of your biggest concerns, then you will likely be more than happy to pay the money to get this meat slicer.

Cost and Value

This easily ranks among the most expensive meat slicers on our list. However; it is commercial grade and has a more powerful motor than any other you will find here. It also has other features - like the built in sharpener and fixed ring guard - that logically cost more than it does to not include them. This is more than worth its price tag and if you want one of the fanciest for your home or perhaps own a coffee shop that makes sandwiches, you’ll be well served by paying a little more upfront.

Less Sharpening = Longer Life

A great feature found here is the fact that this blade holds its edge very well and needs less sharpening than a standard meat slicer blade does. Not only does this require less hands-on maintenance time for you, but it also extends the life of the blade. While having a sharp blade certainly makes your life easier, having a blade that will stay that way for extended periods of time with little effort is even better.

Work Horse

This machine is capable of cutting anything you send in its direction. It is strong, quick, efficient, and relatively quiet. It will cut meat, fruit, veggies, bread, cheese, and really anything. In addition, it lasts a long time with minimal maintenance.

Cost and Value

There is no way around it, this meat slicer is expensive. However; it has amazing reviews and will really serve you well. It will last a long time and the quality of the machine will more than live up to the upfront cost. Like all other meat slicers, it will save you a lot of money in the long run as you’ll replace a lot of store-bought sliced goods with your own.

Suction Cups for Feet

The feet on this unit are not your standard rubber nonstick or slip material. They are actual suction cups that will hold firm to your countertop so that there is no ability for it to slip at all. You also won’t be left with ugly black marks on your counter where the rubber feet prevented slipping - because there are no rubber feet.

All Removable

A critical thing to take into consideration when buying yourself a meat slicer is your ability to clean it. When you are dealing with meat, raw meat, in particular, you want to ensure you get a nice, clean, and sanitized surface. This is not always possible with difficult to take apart units or hard to reach blades. Here, all moving parts (food pusher, food carriage, blade, thickness guide, and food deflector) can all be removed and cleaned. This ensures a sanitary surface and safe food.

Cost and Value

This unit comes to you low to midrange compared to those on this list. This is a powerful, sturdy unit that more than lives up to the price. You will get years of use out of it and ultimately save yourself a lot of money by slicing all of your own meats and cheeses.
