I finally got a chance to use this. I specifically got it for slicing my homemade bacon. It worked very well although the size of the tray required me to cut my pork belly in half. Still, it sliced cleanly and evenly. It was easy to clean. I recommend this product for a decent slicer that does not break the bank.

Funciona bien, aunque no esperes la potencia de las que ves en el supermercado. Creo que para nivel principiante es bastante seguro con la que tiene. Puedo obtener rebanadas delgadas de carnes frías ( trata de que la temperatura de lo que vas a rebanar sea muy fría) y es bastante cómoda. No cuesta trabajo limpiar, no ocupa gran espacio y no pesa. Cuando rebanes hazlo despacio al principio en lo que "aprendes" que tanto debes presionar tu comida contra la rebanadora y como ella va sacando la rebanada. Me gustó bastante.

Buena calidadMuy practicaUn poco baja de potencia

Los cortes salen muy bien, solo que al cortar no se puede poner la mas mínima fuerza por que se alenta y pierde la calibración, pero aún así hace su funcion, solo es acostumbrarse.

Excelente producto para el uso correcto. Aunque le ayudaría un poco más de potencia. Pero por el precio no pido más. Excelente calidad

No util para corte de jamon serrano

Es un aparato muy sencillo pero corta muy muy bien jamon casero ahumado que elaborados, es totalmente de uso de casa pero vale bien la pena

We had one years ago and did like it. We bought this one after much searching because it has a decent sized motor and an easy to clean surface. The feed mechanism is well made and cuts thin and consistent. ALL SLICERS are somewhat hard to clean, but if you get it out you probably need it and so cleaning is not that bad. It does come apart in the right places for cleaning.

Aunque "hay que agarrarle la onda", es una buena compra, hace el trabajo muy bien. Compré este modelo y marca, porque es el único que casi todas sus partes son de acero inoxidable. Hay que "ensayarle" bien a principio, para que te queden rebanada perfectas.

Works great and I've had no problems with it. I've saved tons of money on lunchmeat since I can buy quality meats in bulk and slice it myself for a fraction of the price. Can handle anything from thick ham steaks to deli-thin slices.Few comments with the design:- The sliding board on the back is a bit too flimsy, and depending upon your technique may cause your slices to be SIGNIFICANTLY thicker (or thinner) than intended- The way the meat exits the slicer wasn't really well consider and it just flops there on the back of the unit, requiring frequent pauses- The slicer comes apart well for easy cleaning of the components- There's no good way to clean the main unit since you can't exactly put it in the sink (and it comes in contact with food no matter what you do)Be sure to purchase food-safe lubricant with this, along with cut resistant gloves for everyone that will be using it.

The only experience I have had with a meat slicer is my old Rival with a 6 inch serrated blade. I had this machine for 30 years before giving it to one of my kids. One of the reasons for switching is I want to move up to a larger blade. I like it for slicing beef round roasts and pork loins plus I smoke my own bacon, I then package the meat portions in a vacuum machine for hot pork sandwiches or whatever. The machine seems to be decently made and as other have said very easy to clean, in fact that was the feature that attracted me and it is really so, especially compared to my old unit that needed to be dismantled using a screw driver to clean it, this is as stated by others very easy to clean. I gave it three stars because it has a downside, to me in concern with my machine I got is a bad one. The first test was slicing cooked and fridge cooled pork loins at a thickness of 1/8 inch. The machine bogged down sufficiently enough that my wife looked up and asked if I was jamming it. I said no, I am not even putting any pressure on the blade at all.My first thought was if this is 250 watts they must be a lot smaller in China than here. After I cut all my meat at a much slower pace than my old smaller machine I got looking at it when I was cleaning it. The problem was easy to see, the blade is dull. My old machine had a six inch Solingen blade, it was still razor sharp after 30 years, the blade on this Nesco machine is dull, or at least mine is dull. I literally took the blade off the machine dragged it across the palm of my hand and nothing, it is that dull. That explains the motor laboring to cut. I guess the easiest example is a perry knife one side is sharp and the back side isn't, my machines blade is the back side of the perry knife. So my options are to send it back and hope a replacement is better, try to find out if a 8.7 Solingen blade or other brand blade would interchange, dont know if they are all interchangeable between machine manufacturers or finally take my box of sharpening hones and see if I can sharpen the existing blade, So my machine is good, the blade is not, even the blade has a wobble of just under a 1/16 inch, if I can't sharpen/replace the blade I don't see a long motor life. Others have stated they can cut frozen meat, that sort of makes me think I got a bum blade??---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I usually don't do a follow-up, in fact I think this is my first one. I have since sharpened the blade by using several grit stones on the blade edge while running the machine. This has worked out quite well and has allowed me to put a much finer edge on the blade itself. I have also used it since to slice and shave ham, roast beef and pork since sharpening the blade. The machine works a whole lot better and I feel it is now much better value. Mine might have been a stand alone case, but as far as the performance goes I am quite pleased for the money and as such have raised my rating to 4 stars instead of 3.

Sirve para uso básico sin embargo no es ideal para una tienda ya que es muy tardado cortar el jamón, debido al que el sistema de agarre es muy débil y frágil. En cuanto precio económico para lo que es. Lo favorable es que sirve excelente para rebanar mortadela.

I waited to post a review until I used this slicer a few times. I have cut a ham into breakfast steaks, a pork loin into chops, 2 London broils into jerky strips, and a bottom round roast beef into deli slices. The machine performed flawlessly. I was initially concerned about the manual warning against running it for more than 10 minutes at a time, but not now - it makes short quick work of everything. Nothing I have cut came anywhere close to taking 10 minutes. While there are several competing brands and models available on Amazon, all with well deserved 4+ star ratings, few have the Nesco FS250's large 8.7" blade, fewer still have an all metal chassis, and fewer yet have a professional-style metal pusher/handle assembly. After 30 years of managing and owning restaurants, I found those features irresistible. Yes, when it comes to slicers, size matters. A lot. So does power, and nothing in this price range surpasses the Nesco FS250's 180 watts of power.The ham was cut cold right out of the wrapper. One half-inch thick slice makes a perfect breakfast steak, grill two for a nice dinner, and diced up or julienned they're great for making omelets and chef salads.The London broil and pork loin were defrosted to a firm, semi-frozen state. I agree with a lot of other reviewers - semi-frozen works best with home slicers. The completely defrosted bottom round roast (3.5 lbs.) was seasoned and put in the oven at 480 degrees for 17 minutes, then the oven was turned off and the meat cooked in the steadily cooling oven until it was cool enough to touch the pan - a perfect rare-medium rare 130 degrees on the meat thermometer. I then put the cooked roast in the freezer for a few hours to firm it up, then cut the strings, and trimmed off the little bit of bottom fat. It sliced perfectly - wafer thin, with almost no crumbling. Between me and the dog, about half of it never made it back to the refrigerator. With everything I cut, the thickness control knob remained as set and the support plaque didn't bend, nothing wandered or lost setting - slices were uniform - that's something a few competing machines have a problem with. And the big, sharp blade spins fast enough so it didn't yank the meat around - the spiked metal pusher kept everything under control.Cleanup is a breeze - everything comes apart and reassembles easily without needing any tools. And there's just something nice about working with a steel/aluminum product for a change. This machine has a strong, professional appearance - it makes the whole kitchen look sharp. And it performs perfectly for my purposes. Buy it! And live happily ever after.
