If you are in need of slicer and don't require a full blown commercial slicer, this might be be a good deal:

I bought that same one and would not choose to do so again... I feel like it was money wasted.  It blew both of the fuses that came with it.  I contacted support to see about getting a replacement slicer and they sent me two new fuses and told me good luck.

I've not blown any fuse and when I use it I push sort of hard.  But while I like it a lot, it is not commercial quality but it does suit my needs here at home.

Yeah, I was slicing some cheddar I smoked.  It was refrigerated, but not frozen.  Not trying to slice it very thick... like 3 ticks on the dial.  Was going really slow and mostly letting it pull it in under its own power and it just stops with a blown fuse.  :(

I did put one of the new fuses in and successfully sliced, but I was even more lenient on it... almost holding it up to keep it from feeding it itself.  It worked, but I shouldn't have to be so ginger on it.

I'll report back later if I find out the new fuses are somehow better than the old ones... just doesn't seem likely.
