Meat Slicer Buying Guide: Top 10 Meat Slicers For Home Use

Equipped with a quality 7-inch tilted food carriage, this model comes with a high-torque 120-watt engine, meaning it’s well-equipped to cut through most meats with ease. Additionally, the meat slicer body is made of high-grade cast aluminum and stainless steel, making it lightweight and durable.

Coming in first place on our list is the highly versatile Chef’s Choice 615A electric meat slicer. Although it could probably handle some light commercial use, this meat slicer is 100% designed for the home kitchen and features a 7-inch stainless steel blade that can slice meat as thin as 1mm or as thick as 3/4 inch.

Additionally, the meat slicer body is made of high-grade cast aluminum and stainless steel, making it lightweight and durable. So, while the Chefs Choice 615A Electric Meat Slicer is ideal for slicing meat, bread, and cheese, and features a powerful motor and a 7-inch blade, the KWS MS-10XT is a commercial-grade meat slicer with a 10-inch blade and a 320-watt motor and is perfect for mostly slicing large cuts of meat and cheese.

The main drawback to this model is the serrated blade, which may make cutting some meats, such as prosciutto, difficult when the thickness is set to very thin. Luckily, this isn’t a major issue as a replacement blade can easily be purchased.

This premium electric meat slicer comes with two built-in wet stones to keep the blade nice and sharp. Every time the blade goes through a full slide rod extension, both sides come in contact with the wet stones, resulting in a hands-off approach to blade sharpening.

If you want something a little larger and more powerful, this KWS electric meat slicer has you covered. Fitted with a powerful 320-watt electric motor and a 10-inch non-stick Teflon blade, this unit can easily slice through frozen meat, hard cheeses, and vegetables. On top of this, the smooth blade is perfect for slicing thin deli meat and even competes with some commercial slicers in this regard.

Although this model is considerably more expensive than most of the meat slicers we tested, it’s fit for both home and light commercial use and is a favorite among catering companies and cooking enthusiasts. So while the KWS MS-10XT Premium Electric Meat Slicer is a commercial-grade slicer that’s perfect for slicing large cuts of meat and cheese, the Elite Gourmet Ultimate Precision Deli Food & Meat Slicer is a more affordable option for home use and is great for meat, cheese, and bread with ease.

The main downside to this model is its weight. Due to the oversized motor and larger-than-average aluminum alloy body, moving the item around may be difficult for some, especially elderly individuals. Similarly, it may be difficult to store if space is limited (for tips on how to maximize kitchen storage space click here)

Still, if you’re looking for one of the top meat slicers on the market, you can’t go wrong with the KWS MS-10XT.

With its 7.5-inch removable blade and medium-sized food carriage, this model will be more than adequate for slicing up some cheese and bread and turning meat into cold cuts. However, this model does come with a serrated blade, meaning anyone looking to produce extra-fine meat slices may be disappointed.

If all you want to do is slice some roast beef, ham, and cheese and don’t want to spend a lot of money in the process, this electric slicer from Elite Gourmet may be just what you’re looking for.

With its 7.5-inch removable blade and medium-sized food carriage, this model will be more than adequate for slicing up some cheese and bread and turning meat into cold cuts. However, this model does come with a serrated blade, meaning anyone looking to produce extra-fine meat slices may be disappointed. Compared to another model we tested, the Elite Gourmet Ultimate Precision Deli Food & Meat Slicer features a powerful motor that can slice through meat, cheese, and bread with ease while the KWS 420 Watt 12-Inch Electric Meat Slicer is a commercial-grade slicer that’s perfect for slicing large cuts of meat and cheese.

Along with non-slip rubber feet, this Elite Gourmet meat slicer comes fitted with a nice twist-lock blade guard and is small enough that it can easily be stored when the time comes. At the end of the day, this model will never replace a commercial-grade slicer, but for making meat trays and sandwich meats, it will no doubt do the trick.

With its 420-watt motor, this electric meat cutter is significantly more powerful than most models you will come across, and in combination with a 12-inch Teflon blade, is well-equipped to cut through anything from frozen meat to vegetables with ease.

Whether it be for their home, coffee shop, or small restaurant, some people can’t settle for anything less than a commercial-grade slicer. To anyone in this boat, we introduce you to you this meat slicer from KWS.

With its 420-watt motor, this electric meat cutter is significantly more powerful than most models you will come across, and in combination with a 12-inch Teflon blade, is well-equipped to cut through anything from frozen meat to vegetables with ease. So the KWS 420 Watt 12-Inch Electric Meat Slicer is a commercial-grade slicer that’s perfect for slicing large cuts of meat and cheese while the CUSIMAX Electric Meat Slicer with 7.5-Inch Blade is a more affordable option for home use that can slice through meat, cheese, and bread with ease.

Like the other KWS model we looked at, this unit comes with a built-in blade sharpening system, ensuring you have a sharp blade for every cut. On top of this, this meat slicer uses only NSF-approved material, meaning not only is it health-conscious, but it’s also approved for use in a commercial setting.

When you take all this into account, it’s easy to see why many consider this model to be one of the top meat slicers on the market. That being said, it’s not without a few drawbacks. First off, with its stainless steel and alloy aluminum construction, this meat slicer is as heavy as it is sturdy, which may pose an issue for some. Secondly, while KWS states that this model should have no issue cutting through frozen meat, user reviews indicate that the blade often wonders when attempting this and that people will have much more luck cutting semi-frozen meat instead.

One thing people strongly dislike about meat slicers is cleaning them, and depending on how the model is designed, some may be significantly more difficult to tidy than others. Luckily, this 200W offering from CUSIMAX doesn’t fit into this category and is a great choice for those who aren’t looking to devote a great deal of time to cleaning their meat slicer.

One thing people strongly dislike about meat slicers is cleaning them, and depending upon how the model is designed, some may be significantly more difficult to tidy than others. Luckily, this 200W offering from CUSIMAX doesn’t fit into this category and is a great choice for those who aren’t looking to devote a great deal of time to cleaning their meat slicer.

This easy cleaning attribute is made possible via two features. First off, both the blade and blade guard are removable making them easy to clean, and secondly, the meat slicer uses a unique hidden track design that stops meat juices from falling into the body of the slicer.

Beyond its easy-to-clean design, this CUSIMAX model has some other features worth talking about. For starters, the blade doesn’t feature a serrated edge, making it perfect for cutting meat into thick or thin slices. Additionally, the model isn’t fitted with the standard gear drives that most meat slicers come with. Instead, CUSIMAX opted for a more advanced bearing and belt drive structure that doesn’t require a lubricant to function properly.

Even though it’s not the most powerful machine on the market, with a price tag of just over $100, this offering by CUSIMAX is possibly the best meat slicer for home use in the price range. So when compared to the Chefs Choice 615A Electric Meat Slicer, the CUSIMAX Electric Meat Slicer with 7.5-Inch Blade is a more affordable option for home use.

Fitted with an 8.7-inch removable blade and a 180-watt electric motor, this meat slicer from Nesco offers excellent value to anyone looking for a quality home slicer that won’t break the bank.

Affordability aside, another area where this unit shines is in its ease of cleaning. As you cut meat, food waste will inevitably fall off the food pusher and into the tray below. With some meat slicers, the only way to clean this is by collecting the fallen bits and disposing of them. While this isn’t the biggest issue, depending on how much deli meat you’re making, this process can prove time-consuming.

In response to this, Nesco has outfitted this unit with a detachable food tray that can be removed and emptied with just the click of a button. This detachable food tray is a great innovation and is not something included with all meat slicers, especially those within this price range.

Another aspect of this meat slicer that people enjoy is the larger-than-average 8.7-inch stainless steel serrated cutting blade. As we have already discussed, serrated blades are not the best when it comes to slicing meat into thin slices, and this is a major drawback to this unit. While in theory, you could swap out the current blade for a smooth blade, the unconventional size makes finding a replacement a little more challenging than one may have hoped.

The primary safety function employed by this meat slicer is a recessed power switch meant to drastically reduce the chances of the slicer being turned on by accident. In addition, the model also sports a child-proof lock that locks the blade in place until released. Together, these two safety features ensure that the chances of accidental injury are minimal, making it one of the best meat slicers for safety.

While meat slicers can make an excellent addition to any kitchen, they can also be dangerous in the wrong hands. If you have young children and want a meat slicer with quality safety features, this 200-watt model that we tested from Anescra is worth some serious consideration.

Together, these two safety features ensure that the chances of accidental injury are minimal, making it one of the best meat slicers for safety.

Another feature worth pointing out is that this meat slicer comes with two separate blades, one smooth and one serrated, allowing users to enjoy the best of both worlds. On top of this, when slicing meat, the thickness guide plate can be adjusted from 1 – 15 mm, making it capable of producing both very thin and very thick meat slices.

On top of its impressive meat-slicing capabilities, the body is composed of aluminum and carbon steel, making it extremely durable and resistant to rust and corrosion.

Like some other models we have tried out and tested at, this BESWOOD meat slicer has a built-in rhinestone blade sharpener ensuring the meat slicer blade is already sharp and ready to go.

Although not as well-known as other brands like KWS and Chef’s Choice, BESWOOD makes a highly versatile meat slicer capable of cutting through meats, fruits, and vegetables with ease. A large part of this versatility is due to its 10-inch chromium-plated carbon steel blade, which provides a superior cutting edge compared to what the average stainless steel blade offers.

The main drawback to this model is the cost, which although less than commercial slicers, is considerably more than most of the models we have looked at.

The OSTBA 200-watt electric meat slicer is one of the more visually appealing options we’ve tested out. Sporting a matt finish stainless steel body and food carriage, this meat slicer is both durable and aesthetically pleasing, and with its 7-inch stainless steel removable blade, it’s no doubt one of the better options available.

The OSTBA 200-watt electric meat slicer is one of the more visually appealing options we’ve evaluated so far. Sporting a matt finish stainless steel body and food carriage, this meat slicer is both durable and aesthetically pleasing, and with its 7-inch stainless steel removable blade, it’s no doubt one of the better options available.

Looks aside, this slicer is highly versatile and is made to be compatible with many different blades and food pushers, and almost all parts, including the food carriage, meat grip arm, and guard, are removable, making it very easy to clean when the time comes.

Given its price tag of around $100, it’s easy to see why this OSTBA unit is often hailed as the best meat slicer in its price range, a sentiment we find difficult to disagree with.

Rounding out our top 10 is an electric food slicer by Techwood, which comes equipped with a 9-inch stainless steel removable blade and a 200w high-torque motor.

For those unfamiliar with Techwood, the manufacturer is known for creating quality kitchen products at a reasonable cost, something they have undoubtedly achieved with this food slicer.

One thing people really like about this model is the blade size. For some, the standard 7-inch blade is too small, and the commercial-sized 12-inch blade is too large, making the 9-inch blade a happy medium for making deli meat, cheese slices, cut vegetables, and slices of bread. Another thing people will love is the hidden track design, which makes cleaning as easy as possible.
