KWS Premium Commercial 320w Electric Meat Slicer 10″ Stainless Steel Blade, Frozen Meat/ Cheese/ Food Slicer Low Noises Commercial and Home Use

Having run restaurants for 20 years, I have to say that this slicer has a very professional look and feel, and has power to burn. Short of spending anywhere from $1600 to $7800 for a new Hobart, this machine is a bargain. Being the kitchen manager last week at a girls’ summer camp, and (in between contemplating suicide alternatives) needing a good tool to make slicing simple, I bought this. Super choice! It did great with tomatoes and onions (for hamburgers), Black Forest ham (for breakfast with Cheese Blintzes), and roasted and marinated tri-tip. When you set the cutting thickness, it stays put (I cut up three ham roasts and about 25 tri-tips with absolutely no variance in thickness. Set it and forget it.

Cleaning these things can be a challenge, but like most things, there are tricks to the trade. The whole upper structure is designed to be waterproof, and that’s your advantage. The only vulnerable area is the bottom. And of course, even the best slicers have a lot of nooks and crannies, and spray food bits out the front. What I did was take off the sliding food tray, the blade faceplate, and the sharpener, and cleaned them separately. Then, you place the entire unit in (or over) an empty sink, and spray it with the faucet hose. That knocks all the food bits off the slicer. Make sure that your sink drains immediately so the water level doesn’t reach the bottom. Then you go over it with soap and sponge, and spray again. Finally, spray on some sanitizing solution (say 1/4 cup of bleach in a gallon of water) in a bottle, and wipe with a clean cloth. Entire process takes about 5 mins. Looks like new!

The only negative is that it’s (necessarily) bulky and heavy, but that comes with the territory. I store mine in its original box in the garage.

The meat slicer works well. So far we’ve sliced only meat. Really thin raw meat for jerky, and cooked thin sliced roast beef. Thin sliced turkey breast. When the meat is raw, works much better if the meat is still a little frozen. And when the meat is cooked – let it cool or you will get meat juice EVERYWHERE!! LOL.

I would have given more stars however, the cleaning of this machine is a PITA. There were no instructions on how to clean the machine. Tried searching the interwebs…no dice. Had to watch videos of other brand’s cleaning method, and then kind of apply that to this machine. I wonder if I can squirt it with the faucet sprayer, but I think the water might get into the motor, especially with the blade off.

The blade is extremely sharp and there is no “safety block” like other machines. The safety block lets you screw a type of handle to the blade to remove it. This one you just push it out and hope it doesn’t fall onto your fingers. You have to remove the metal plate in front of the blade, and then remove 3 screws (phillips head) to take off the blade. And there doesn’t seem to be a way to really clean the machine without taking the blade totally off (nooks and crannys have meat parts behind the blade).

Even after all that – once you figure out how to clean it – it doesn’t take as long as the first time!

And the motor is very powerful, it didn’t get stuck cutting the frozen beef roast.

That is all.

I have a concession, this is an awesome slicer, huge improvement over my first slicer. I just does a great job slicing meat. I make beef jerky, fairly easy to clean, and heavy enough, so is doesn’t move much, while slicing.

Great slicer. Very sharp clean cuts. Quiet. Easy to take apart and clean. Only drawback is the tray doesn’t slide very far to the left. I cure and slice 100’s of pounds of bacon and it only goes 8 inches to left hence I cannot slice a slab of bacon. Also be careful on the backside sliced food can get caught in a groove near the wheel. See pics attached. I still recommend as it is a good quality slicer.

This slicer far exceeded my expectations. It not only slices meats of all kinds easily but also cuts cheese with little effort. If you are looking for a good slicer to cut raw meats to processed meats, and cheeses, this is the one you want!

I bought this to slice meats for Asian dishes like hotpots, stirfries, and teriyaki, bulgogi, etc. I wish I had this slicer waaay sooner, because life would’ve been so much easier and enjoyable for me! Now I just buy boneless ribeye roast or boston pork butt roast and slice them myself whenever I want! I don’t even know how I survived without this for 25 years since I moved away from the islands. I also bought a stainless steel work station to set this on, which has a lower shelf to store the slicer on when not in use and doubles as an additional prep station. So worth the money if you cook a lot of Asian meat dishes.

Very close to a professional deli-slicer. Very well built and performs
exactly as hoped for. Good buy.

This product is solid and easy to use. I bought it mainly for shabu shabu (hot pot) meat slice, it can do the job amazingly, makes paper thin meat from frozen lamb and beef!
