Chef'sChoice 609A Electric Meat Slicer with Stainless Steel Blade Features Slice Thickness Control and Tilted Food Carriage Easy Clean, 7-Inch, Silver

THIS IS A GREAT MACHINE. PERFECT FOR WHAT I NEEDED IT FOR. SLICING SUMMER SAUSAGES EVERY WEEK. THIS MACHINE WAS EASY FOR ME TO USE. I AM DIS-ABLED NO USE OF MY LEFT HAND. I WAS ABLE TO SET UP USE AND TAKE DOWN AND WASH. BLADE WAS VERY EASY TO DIS MOUNT AND REMOUNT. MACHINE IS LIGHT TO CARRY AND MOVE (8 LBS). HEAVY ENOUGH TO STAY IN PLACE WHILE USING THANKS TO RUBBER SUCTION FEET.BEFORE I STRUGGLED WITH MY KNIFE AND SAUSAGE, USUALLY HAD TO WEDGE THE SAUSAGE BETWEEN THE MICROWAVE AND COFFEE MAKER. THIS MACHINE HAS MADE MY LIFE EASIER. PERFORMANCE WAS GREAT. POWER WAS JUST RIGHT FOR MY APLICATION. ONLY REGRET IS I WISH I HAD BOUGHT IT 12 YEARS AGO WHEN I HAD MY STROKE. I WONT BE WITHOUT ONE OF THESE MACHINES. WHEN THIS ONE WEARS OUT I WILL BUY ANOTHER ONE OF THE SAME BRAND. ONE FEATURE I LIKE IS THE TRAY. I PUT A PAPER PLATE ON IT TO CATCH THE SLICES AS THEY COME OFF THE BLADE THEN DUMP THEM IN A CONTAINER WITH A LID ON IT AND STORE IT IN THE REFRIGERATOR AND ALWAYS HAVE A HANDY SNACK ON HAND.

Amazing slicer at an incredible price! I had a previous version of this slicer and it held up under regular use for 15 years (mostly I make jerky and thin-sliced meats for Asian style dishes). So I bought this one as a replacement and it does not disappoint! Easy to use and cleans up nice. Will definitely buy again when this one goes out in another 15+ years!

I put off this purchase for over a year simply because I wanted to thoroughly research before I bought a slicer. This machine had a good price and good reviews. I pulled the trigger and I’m glad I did. I’ve had a chance to use it three times so far. I usually make beef-on-Weck sandwiches so I use a cheaper cut of meat and cool it before I slice. Zero problems ! Sturdy tray, smooth slider action, sharp blade, adjustable slicing guide capable of slicing thin. The motor doesn’t bog down and I put a pretty good amount of pressure on the meat when slicing. Easy to clean, light weight. What’s not to like ? Very happy with the purchase.

UPDATE: I just used this to slice some homemade bacon today. I was worried that since bacon is kind of squishy that the slicer might just drag the meat into the blade and make a mess, but WOW. This thing goes through bacon like a laser. My bacon slab was about 2-1/2" thick, too, and the machine didn't even sound like it struggled. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars at this point - I'm thrilled with it, and that's rare for me to say! I've been wanting a slicer for years to make my venison jerky faster more and more uniformly than cutting it by hand with a chef's knife. I really wanted to find a used commercial slicer but even used they're crazy expensive and too big to store. I recently got into making bacon from scratch, curing raw pork belly and smoking it. That kind of amped up my desire for a slicer, but I really never thought these small "home model" units could cut it, so to speak. When Amazon had this on a Deal of the Day with free returns I figured I didn't have anything to lose and gave it a try. At first glance, it looks and feel like a toy. It's light and small, but the carriage runs smoothly and the motor and drive train sounded fine. I had a cooked boneless turkey breast from Costco so I threw that on the carriage and gave it a try. Wow... this thing peeled ribbons off that turkey as fast and I could go back and forth. I was really pretty impressed with how well it worked. It will dial down to almost paper-thin slices. Yep, it's kind of a pain to clean, as is my meat grinder, sausage stuffer, and anything else that contacts raw meat, but I think that's just part of the price of convenience. The biggest drawback in cleaning that I see is that the drive gear for the blade is mounted to the back of the blade and coated in grease, so every time you take the blade off to clean it you have to deal with that. Other wise everything disassembles pretty easily for a soap and hot water cleanup. I'm generally the type that will pay extra and get the very best, but honestly I think for my needs, this little slicer does a bang-up job. It's small enough to store easily but still gets the job done. I'm looking forward to deer season in a few weeks so I can make some more jerky with it.

DO NOT BUY! YOU WILL REGRET IT!! It's a waste of money. You won't get help from the seller. This meat slicer failed after less than three months of normal, light home use. One day it simply stopped working entirely. No power, no response, nothing. There was no misuse, no heavy-duty use, and no warning signs leading up to the failure. For a product at this price point, that kind of durability is completely unacceptable. What makes the situation even worse is the complete lack of customer support. I reached out to the seller expecting at least basic assistance, whether that be troubleshooting, repair options, or a replacement, but was met with dismissal and no meaningful help whatsoever. No accountability, no effort to resolve the issue, and no willingness to stand behind their own product. A meat slicer is not a disposable item. This is a kitchen appliance that should last for years with proper care, not break down within weeks of light use. The fact that it failed so quickly, combined with the seller’s refusal to take responsibility, makes this purchase a complete waste of money. I strongly recommend avoiding this product. There are plenty of other brands that offer better build quality and, more importantly, companies that actually support their customers when something goes wrong.

I almost didn't purchase this product due to the negative reviews that I read... but so far so good. I purchased this for the primary purpose of slicing homemade bread. After unboxing, setup and a bit of cleaning, I tried the slicer on a loaf that I baked yesterday. It worked very well.... no issues. The item is mostly made of plastic... but it still feels solid and well-constructed. The blade spins more slowly than I would have thought, but it is very sharp and cuts through thick bread crust easily. I look forward to trying this on other foods, like roast beef or ham. I think this is a very good value for the under $100 price.

I bought this solely for slicing meat for Jerky. For years, I've been par freezing meat for jerky and cutting it by hand. I wanted something to give me consistent slices. I took a chance on this. My first thought when I opened the box was, "Wow...this is actually pretty sturdy". Then I plugged it in and turned it on.....It spun at like a mere 45 rpms. And I was confused. There was no speed adjustment. It just sat there whirling, leaving me wondering how the hell it was going to cut through par frozen beef. (you still have to do that with beef on a slicer, unless you want a mess of bits) And to my delight, this thing ripped right through it. It was satisfying. I literally sliced 4 lbs of Top Round London broil in about 5 minutes my first time. As I got used to the slicer and how it works, I was under 2 minutes by my 3rd use. Yes, you have to clean it, which - once you (carefully) remove the blade, takes all of 5 minutes to hose down in the sink. By my calculations, every time I use it, I save an hour just in slicing. I can't tell you what an hour is worth to you, but for me, I made my money back the first time I used it (terribly) because I also ended up with consistent slices, which saved me time in the smoker as well. (more savings) Yes, it's cheap. No - it's not "deli grade" But for the right uses, this thing can't be beat. Totally happy with my purchase.

Perfect for home use. Works great on a variety of items. From meat to bread, Works great.

It went bang ! I got my money back

Works very well, effectively slicing cured meat into thin slices. So beware though if using outside the US that you will require a step down voltage transformer otherwise the fuse will immediately blow (as protection against motor damage). This requirement is not clear from the sales particulars, however the shipper did send an email notification of this requirement which was received too late to have been of use, meaning that I blew the first fuse before seeing their email which had been sent to the spam folder. Tip is to order spare fuses just in case and the voltage transformer so that you can use out of the box. Once in operation it works well, with simple adjustment of the selected slicing thickness and is both easy to operate and clean after use.

Great product, switch is on top of slicer so you do not end up with food at switch like you do with slicers that have the switch out front. Guide is very stiff and stays true while you are slicing. For $100 more you get a better quality slicer than can be purchased in store and delivered right to your door and this slicer is approx $100 less than the same brand improved model slicers that are listed, which don’t seem to have any more features than this slicer other than switch location. This slicer was replacing a model 610 which we had for over 20 years. Even though this is a 609A it is similar to the older model but with improved features, ie: blade removal screw. Would definitely buy again.

It does the job and it is easy to clean. That is all you want in an slicer. Very satisfied with this unit.

For our home needs this slicer works just fine on meats, cheese, vegetables, and bread.
