Shopping slicers is a whole animal unto it's own. So many name brands, knock-offs, blade sizes, how big is big enough?, will this monster fit in my pantry?, can I even lift this thing?, does it have enough watts?, why do these look the same but one is triple the monies?, ect...
I wanted a mid-weight, name brand slicer. I wanted to be able to buy parts for it. It had to slice a whole piece of belly for bacon. To make my wife happy, it had to fit into our pantry closet.
The bacon thing was the kicker, I couldn't meet the size/weight of the machine and sling 10 inches of belly. I'm a normal house, normal short on storage, really only going to use it 7 times a year dude, so I had to be open minded to get it to fit into this damn cabinet.
When I realized I was going to be making short pieces of bacon, the fog lifted and I bought this....
https://www.kitchenwarestation.com/product/ms-6ns-food-slicer-silver-stainless-blade/I've used it twice now, works awesome. Bacon is still amazing, maybe better since I'm not blistering my hand cutting extra wide slices. Thin and consistent matter more than the length. And of course, the wife was right. It fits nicely in the cabinet, out of sight and orderly.
My 2 cents I guess. Good luck on your journey. Let us know what you decide.
