If so how do you like it, would you buy again? I am looking for a slicer that would go up to 1" so I can cut boneless pork loins into chops at the top of the range while slicing thin deli meats, bacon, cheese, and the likes. Cabelas good to go or would I be better off looking at maybe a referb more real commercial unit? I love the price point of the cabelas but I would put out more if the juice was worth the squeeze.

TIA

I have an older one that is almost 13 years old that I got from Cabela’s and it’s fine. Go with the 12” blade. The 8.7” sucks and if you are going to 10” might as well do 12”

Don’t expect it to actually be commercial grade. It can get hot and you will need to stop every so often to let the motor cool.

Make sure you get food grade oil and it’s a PITA to clean. Also, the meat department looks at you weird when you ask for the whole loaf of cheese.

I have this one for years and is a beast. BESWOOD Super heavy and massive. I wouldn't go any bigger than 10" unless you have some closet with big shelves to store the thing in. Never any issue with overheating. It is PITA to clean, but they all are.

My friend once had their neighbor leave their cat alone while they went on vacation. The poor thing was starving and would not stop meowing. We cut very thinly sliced deli meat and shoved it under the door.

That damn thing cut slices so thin you couldn't even see it.

That is one brand I looked at along with KWS. My hang up is, for whatever reason, I want one that can go up to a 1" thick slice. Part of me questions the other part of me as to why tho lol. I could just use a knife to cut 1" thick cuts of whatever but I just had it in my head slicer for up to 1".

I have the space to put it, but I do wonder how much of a PITA it is to really clean these current units.

Also have yall had issues with the slicer slinging meat and blood (if raw) off the blade or do they have a guard to keep that stuff off the walls and floors lol.
