Last tip, put saran wrap on the backside bottom and let the food fall off onto it. Then when your ready to clean it you'll have less to clean off it. I've always thought they should have a tray to drop the trimming into and not on the body of the base, you could take the tray off store your meats cheases and vegetables and have sevral of them that clip on and come off to wash or store items on.
Can you follow up and let us know how easy it is to get it squeaky (as in completely sanitary) clean. Having worked in the food service industry, I’ve come to very much appreciate the NSF seal (it means, among other things, that it’s safe to use commercially because it can be cleaned accordingly). Less expensive equipment, geared to home use is usually NOT designed to that standard (but some stuff is, even without the NSF blessing). With that in mind, what are your thoughts on this unit?
Just seeing this and it’s 7 months old. I’m sure you know by now but if you get your food very cold almost frozen it will slice better. At around 3:10 in the video it looked like your pork jaw was really soft as you were pushing it through the slicer.
Looking at purchasing one. It is deer season, and we process ourselves. What is your thoughts on this after 4 months? Have you sliced raw meat for jerky yet?
Overall a nice video and helpful as I now have one myself. However, I don’t think it is fare to give 9 stars just because a rail needed lubrication. Would you downgrade a car because a door or trunk squeezed? Just saying…..
FYI - You silly goose 😊 it’s very common to do that as a routine maintenance item for food prep tools / machines - anything that slides on a guide rod. lubricate the GUIDE RODS with mineral oil or a food grade lubricant. Do not use cooking oil; it can get sticky! For optimum performance that should be done every time the equipment is cleaned.
Be very careful on the backside of the blade, you can cut yourself on it. Looks like it works as good as a cheaper Hobart. Hobart is made in the states this is imported from China my reason for that is the CE seal on the box I havent read one of the boxes or seen it in person I just noticed the CE down in the conner. This is definitely a knock off of Hobart meat slicer. My mom bought one at the factory some 50 years ago, my older sister has it and it still works and gets used all the time. You can still buy replacement parts for it but in 50 years of home use the only thing my family ever did to it was add a motor it was hand crank with manul feed table. It got upgraded I think 75 to 300 was its cost back then. You cant even look at one for under a grand now. If you eat sliced meats,cheese, onions, cabbage almost any sliced food these things are great. I see a lot of people say meat or cheese, but it will do vegetables too.
Just checked the price of the Hobart, it’s about $1700. This one is about 1/5 of that cost. I agree those made in USA ones are really good quality and last a very long time. I have a very old Wahl hair clipper that was made in USA, it’s still going strong and had a problem at all. Then I bought a Wahl made in China version, it’s a piece of crap, it caught hair all the time. I forgot to return it, the I just threw it in the trash. But, so far, this made in China meat grinder still works well, maybe they used the American company standard.I hope it will last a long time.

How on earth does the blade come out. I took the black knob off the back and I still cannot get it. Thanks :)
