The ham was cut cold right out of the wrapper. One half-inch thick slice makes a perfect breakfast steak, grill two for a nice dinner, and diced up or julienned they're great for making omelets and chef salads.The London broil and pork loin were defrosted to a firm, semi-frozen state. I agree with a lot of other reviewers - semi-frozen works best with home slicers. The completely defrosted bottom round roast (3.5 lbs.) was seasoned and put in the oven at 480 degrees for 17 minutes, then the oven was turned off and the meat cooked in the steadily cooling oven until it was cool enough to touch the pan - a perfect rare-medium rare 130 degrees on the meat thermometer. I then put the cooked roast in the freezer for a few hours to firm it up, then cut the strings, and trimmed off the little bit of bottom fat. It sliced perfectly - wafer thin, with almost no crumbling. Between me and the dog, about half of it never made it back to the refrigerator. With everything I cut, the thickness control knob remained as set and the support plaque didn't bend, nothing wandered or lost setting - slices were uniform - that's something a few competing machines have a problem with. And the big, sharp blade spins fast enough so it didn't yank the meat around - the spiked metal pusher kept everything under control.
Cleanup is a breeze - everything comes apart and reassembles easily without needing any tools. And there's just something nice about working with a steel/aluminum product for a change. This machine has a strong, professional appearance - it makes the whole kitchen look sharp. And it performs perfectly for my purposes. Buy it! And live happily ever after.
Having an option for a non serrated blade as an add on or included would be ideal. Maybe they offer one and I missed it. All in all this product is good. We will be upgrading in the future but this is a good middle of the road meat slicer.
Now. When we purchased this item we purchased new. But when we opened the box it looked as if there was dried meat on it. When my husband took the machine apart to clean it (which is easy to do) there were obvious marks and scratches (along with more dried meat) indicating this was a used product. We checked to make sure we did not over look a tag line that said used or refurbished. We did not. We did come to an agreement with Amazon that was satisfactory. The customer service was great. People....be honest. If you use the product be honest. This person went through the trouble of regressing gears and even taping the box to look like it was unopened (upon further inspection we saw the tape up job).

Cons: motor spins slower than commercial units but still powerful for the job.
My first thought was if this is 250 watts they must be a lot smaller in China than here. After I cut all my meat at a much slower pace than my old smaller machine I got looking at it when I was cleaning it. The problem was easy to see, the blade is dull. My old machine had a six inch Solingen blade, it was still razor sharp after 30 years, the blade on this Nesco machine is dull, or at least mine is dull. I literally took the blade off the machine dragged it across the palm of my hand and nothing, it is that dull. That explains the motor laboring to cut. I guess the easiest example is a perry knife one side is sharp and the back side isn't, my machines blade is the back side of the perry knife. So my options are to send it back and hope a replacement is better, try to find out if a 8.7 Solingen blade or other brand blade would interchange, dont know if they are all interchangeable between machine manufacturers or finally take my box of sharpening hones and see if I can sharpen the existing blade, So my machine is good, the blade is not, even the blade has a wobble of just under a 1/16 inch, if I can't sharpen/replace the blade I don't see a long motor life. Others have stated they can cut frozen meat, that sort of makes me think I got a bum blade??
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I usually don't do a follow-up, in fact I think this is my first one. I have since sharpened the blade by using several grit stones on the blade edge while running the machine. This has worked out quite well and has allowed me to put a much finer edge on the blade itself. I have also used it since to slice and shave ham, roast beef and pork since sharpening the blade. The machine works a whole lot better and I feel it is now much better value. Mine might have been a stand alone case, but as far as the performance goes I am quite pleased for the money and as such have raised my rating to 4 stars instead of 3.
