Cut or shave perfect, even slices of ham, turkey breast, roast beef, cheese and more with this superior quality appliance. Thick, thin, or in between, you'll get the right slice every time. It's safe and simple to use, as well as easy to clean.
Designed for the home kitchen, the Waring Pro food slicer saves you time, labor, and money by evenly and efficiently slicing meats, cheeses, vegetables, and breads. It comes in handy for preparing party platters, sandwich buffets, leftovers, and snacks. It is worthwhile to keep in mind, however, that this machine is not deli-caliber. It is intended for 10-minute intervals of slicing and easy mobility around the kitchen.
Outfitted with a 130-watt motor, the slicer features premium coated steel and die-cast aluminum housing. It has an easily adjusted slicing control knob that ranges from 1/32 to 1/2 inch and a balanced 7-1/2-inch undulated stainless-steel blade. Suction-cup feet keep it from skidding or sliding, and a polycarbonate food guide helps you direct slicing safely. The carriage surface is stainless steel. Suggested used include pepperoni, roast beef, apples, potatoes, bread, tomatoes, turkey, and onions. The slicer is UL/CUL approved and comes with a limited 5-year motor warranty from Waring. It measures 17-1/4 by 10-13/16 by 11-1/4 inches and weighs about 15 pounds. --Emily Bedard

I found a few issues with this unit.
1. The suction cups on the base are supposed to keep the unit stationary while slicing however when slicing anything more than a lettuce head, it breaks loose from the counter (On a clean corian countertop surface). Frustrating when trying to slice and you have to keep turning off to secure again. I suggest either larger suction cups, more of them or some sort of grip mat on base to avoid this.
2. The lever for setting the slice thickness doesn't secure enough to avoid the thickness changing throughout your cutting. This applies to anything more than lettuce or tomato (i.e. cheese or meats). Also when slicing the meet, the blade actually bends a bit varying the thickness of slices.
3. I also found the unit wasn't easy to clean. The only part that you can remove is the blade without taking out screw and nuts. You basically have to use a damp cloth to wipe it down since you can't remove parts in order to clean. Obviously you can't get the unit to wet since it does have electrical components.
Overall the unit would be good if cutting only soft texture items i.e. lettuce, cabbage, tomatoes, etc. When cutting anything more than that, I don't recommend this particular unit; I would opt for the larger more commercial Waring unit.

| NOT MY FIRST CHOICE NOW | 2010-06-27 | 3 / 5 |

I BOUGHT ONE, DIDN'T USE IT UNTIL TODAY. POOR
DESIGN, HARD TO CLEAN. WORKS OK, BUT VERY LIGHT
WEIGHT, HARD TO KEEP A GRIP ON MEAT TO SLICE DUE
TO CRAPPY SAFETY GRIP. NOT SOMETHING YOU CAN USE
OFTEN AS YOU CAN ONLY RUN FOR 5 MINUTES BEFORE
OVERHEATING. AGAIN CLEANING IS AWFUL. I'VE USED
SLICERS, YOU BREAK THEM DOWN, CLEAN & REASSEMBLE,
NP. NOT THIS ONE. |

| I bought this unit somewhere else. It lasted through 6 uses, with a burning smell. The gears stripped, and I threw it away. I just purchased the Chefs Choice 610 from , and Im very pleased. It did a great job, didn't smell and it was easy to clean up. It's a very nice unit for the price. |
| Decent cutter at a reasonable price | 2009-12-23 | 4 / 5 |

| I bought this to replace a plastic electric cutter I bought a few years ago. This unit will cut the meat thin and uniform. Nice to have at the holidays with all of the left overs. |
