This electric deli slicer proved to be superior in tests conducted by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute, due to its ability to consistently cut smooth, paper-thin slices of meat and cheese, an easy-to-slide carriage, and superior safety features. The unit's 1/4-horsepower induction motor rotates the hardened stainless-steel blade at 372 rpm, quickly cutting deli-worthy slices, while lesser models yielded ragged cuts, and one unit even jammed, causing the blade to stop. Unlike other units with carriages that are difficult to slide, the best slicer's tray glides toward the blade with minimal effort. Scoring highest for safety, the best slicer has rubber feet and a stout, anodized aluminum construction for optimal sturdiness, an easy-to-grip handle for confident control, and a blade lock to protect curious fingers. You can adjust the best slicer to cut slices from deli-thin to 1/2" thick at the turn of a dial, it automatically sharpens the blade during use, and the unit wipes clean with a damp cloth. 14" H x 15" W x 20" L.
