Chef's Choice 609A000 Electric Food Slicer, Stainless Steel

Works very well, effectively slicing cured meat into thin slices. So beware though if using outside the US that you will require a step down voltage transformer otherwise the fuse will immediately blow (as protection against motor damage). This requirement is not clear from the sales particulars, however the shipper did send an email notification of this requirement which was received too late to have been of use, meaning that I blew the first fuse before seeing their email which had been sent to the spam folder. Tip is to order spare fuses just in case and the voltage transformer so that you can use out of the box. Once in operation it works well, with simple adjustment of the selected slicing thickness and is both easy to operate and clean after use.

It went bang ! I got my money back

Great product, switch is on top of slicer so you do not end up with food at switch like you do with slicers that have the switch out front. Guide is very stiff and stays true while you are slicing. For $100 more you get a better quality slicer than can be purchased in store and delivered right to your door and this slicer is approx $100 less than the same brand improved model slicers that are listed, which don’t seem to have any more features than this slicer other than switch location. This slicer was replacing a model 610 which we had for over 20 years. Even though this is a 609A it is similar to the older model but with improved features, ie: blade removal screw. Would definitely buy again.

THIS IS A GREAT MACHINE. PERFECT FOR WHAT I NEEDED IT FOR. SLICING SUMMER SAUSAGES EVERY WEEK. THIS MACHINE WAS EASY FOR ME TO USE. I AM DIS-ABLED NO USE OF MY LEFT HAND. I WAS ABLE TO SET UP USE AND TAKE DOWN AND WASH. BLADE WAS VERY EASY TO DIS MOUNT AND REMOUNT. MACHINE IS LIGHT TO CARRY AND MOVE (8 LBS). HEAVY ENOUGH TO STAY IN PLACE WHILE USING THANKS TO RUBBER SUCTION FEET.BEFORE I STRUGGLED WITH MY KNIFE AND SAUSAGE, USUALLY HAD TO WEDGE THE SAUSAGE BETWEEN THE MICROWAVE AND COFFEE MAKER. THIS MACHINE HAS MADE MY LIFE EASIER. PERFORMANCE WAS GREAT. POWER WAS JUST RIGHT FOR MY APLICATION. ONLY REGRET IS I WISH I HAD BOUGHT IT 12 YEARS AGO WHEN I HAD MY STROKE. I WONT BE WITHOUT ONE OF THESE MACHINES. WHEN THIS ONE WEARS OUT I WILL BUY ANOTHER ONE OF THE SAME BRAND. ONE FEATURE I LIKE IS THE TRAY. I PUT A PAPER PLATE ON IT TO CATCH THE SLICES AS THEY COME OFF THE BLADE THEN DUMP THEM IN A CONTAINER WITH A LID ON IT AND STORE IT IN THE REFRIGERATOR AND ALWAYS HAVE A HANDY SNACK ON HAND.

Amazing slicer at an incredible price! I had a previous version of this slicer and it held up under regular use for 15 years (mostly I make jerky and thin-sliced meats for Asian style dishes). So I bought this one as a replacement and it does not disappoint! Easy to use and cleans up nice. Will definitely buy again when this one goes out in another 15+ years!

It does the job and it is easy to clean. That is all you want in an slicer. Very satisfied with this unit.
