I really wanted a nice meat slicer ... but didn't want to pay the many hundreds of dollars association with them. Saw this product, the price was very right, so I took a chance. Thus far I have used to cut deli type meats, including prosciutto. It slices well, seems to have ample power and runs very quiet... as a deer hunter hoping to use for my venison jerky. I am very happy with my purchase ... and it's a lot of fun. My use is recreational and non-commercial .... I would highly recommend it to others. Good Job Vevor!
