Amazon.com Review
Designed for the home kitchen, the Waring Pro food slicer saves you time, labor, and money by evenly and efficiently slicing meats, cheeses, vegetables, and breads. It comes in handy for preparing party platters, sandwich buffets, leftovers, and snacks. It is worthwhile to keep in mind, however, that this machine is not deli-caliber. It is intended for 10-minute intervals of slicing and easy mobility around the kitchen. Outfitted with a 130-watt motor, the slicer features premium coated steel and die-cast aluminum housing. It has an easily adjusted slicing control knob that ranges from 1/32 to 1/2 inch and a balanced 7-1/2-inch undulated stainless-steel blade. Suction-cup feet keep it from skidding or sliding, and a polycarbonate food guide helps you direct slicing safely. The carriage surface is stainless steel. Suggested used include pepperoni, roast beef, apples, potatoes, bread, tomatoes, turkey, and onions. The slicer is UL/CUL approved and comes with a limited 5-year motor warranty from Waring. It measures 17-1/4 by 10-13/16 by 11-1/4 inches and weighs about 15 pounds. --Emily Bedard

 Cannot cut even slices December 11, 2008
Uwe Knie (WI)
I thought I save some money by slicing my own cheese and meat now.
Got this for $80 after 20% off coupon, and there would have been a Waring mail in rebate for another $20.
I started with cutting some home baked bread and noticed uneven slices. First I thought I am the dummy, and with adjusting my pressure while holding the bread it kinda worked ok.
Cut up a ham today... that thing cannot cut straight no matter what. You really notice it with thin slices. Beginning starts out fine, then it tapers off, and it doesn't even make it to the end of the maybe 6 inches wide ham: It get's thinner and thinner, and the slices are the desired thickness one one end, and you can read a paper through the other end.
I think it's because the pressure you need to hold the stuff pushes the blade in a bit, and that messes it up. Even with light pressure, it doesn't work, and with very light pressure the whole ham starts roatating in your hand once it is on the blade. I tried several variations while cutting up 3 lbs, no luck.
I am just surprised that I haven't read this problem anywhere else in all the reviews.
Can't tell much about the cleaning process, because I don't bother cleaning that POS before returning.
Unfortunately I have to agree with the majority here December 7, 2008

After paying over $100 for a food slicer, I expected it to last. It broke down after the second use and is irreparable. Like one other person said on here, it just started to smoke, then the engine kept whirring but the blade didn't move. I wish I could have found the paperwork to return it because the gear is completely stripped out and they don't offer that part as a replacement, so I just wasted $100 on something that will simply go to the scrapyard. It's also very difficult to clean. I was extremely disappointed in this slicer and would not be able to recommend it to anyone.
Nothing "PRO" about this slicer August 16, 2008

Basically, there is nothing "PRO" about this slicer...
1. Continually breaks down when trying to slice meats (the gear inside breaks or strips.... requiring replacement).
2. Many critical parts are made of plastic, including gears, that break when under a load, of something like meat.
3. Will not slice anything larger than 1/2".... for instance a boneless prime rib.
4. No way of sharpening the blade, other than to take it to a professional sharpener, or replace the blade (at over $40 including shipping).
5. Flimsy construction.... Everything wabbles when under a load.
6. Mine is broken "AGAIN" right now... and need to go online to order parts.... and pay outrageous prices for spare parts... that if they were made right in the first place (out of metal), they wouldn't break.
7. When you have a small piece (or end) of cheese or onion or whatever, it's nearly impossible to hold it securely enough with the polycarbonate food holder (included with the slicer) to ever get it sliced properly.
8. Would take it back and get a refund if I weren't over my 30 days of ownership. (guess I could sell it at a garage sale for $7.00.... and lose the other $100 that I paid for it!).... And never buy a Waring product again.
9. Do I need more reasons???

After over 2 years with this, we LOVE it. No matter what we cut, it has been perfect, safe, EASY TO CLEAN! Have not found a single downside. It saves a fortune on food, the food tastes MUCH better, just makes eating more enjoyable.
