Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of EdgeCraft 610 Chef's Choice Premium Electric Food Slicer
Customer Review: Nice macine for the money
Summary: 5 Stars
No one should expect a restaurant quality machine for $100. I have worked in restaurants and therefore know how nice they can be. Was I let down when I got this machine? Absolutely not! Actually I am very pleased. I have sliced meats, breads and vegetables with it and it has worked great. I needed paper thin bread for a German recipe that I have and it worked great. I needed meat cut to ¼ of an inch for another recipe and again, it worked great. The blade does rotate slower than a restaurant machine so you will want to go easy as you feed the food into it but overall it is a smooth working machine. Others have said the plastic piece holding the blade in is easily broken; I have just been gentle with that piece and have had no problems. My wife and I both agree, it is a welcome addition to our kitchen appliancesCustomer Review: Great Deli Slicer
Summary: 5 Stars
When I was a young man, I helped pay my college tuition by working in a deli. The one thing I loved was working with the meat slicer. Anyone whos ever used one of these machines knows how easy it is to slice meats, cheeses and even vegetables from paper thin to as thick as you'd like. Well this machine is definately the home version. It's easy to slice just about anything. It also disassembles easily for cleanup. Once you set the thickness, every slice comes out perfect. I had an Oster slicer for the last twenty years and this machine outperforms it in every respect. Please note; when tightening the blade the pop out tab can come off if you tighten it two much. This is no problem as it will pop right back on. I assume it was made this way to prevent stripping the screw by overtightening.Customer Review: Spectacular

I run a small Smoker/BBQ business as a side job at local shows and catering events, and slice a TON of Tri-Tip,,, avg of 35-50 a day depending,,, and this little slicer does a GREAT job! Don't rush it with the meat, when I first got it, I was slightly frustrated,, didn't seem to be working,,, go just a tad SLOWER,,,, BINGO all the difference in the world. I was so impressed I bought another one for a big catering event we had so I could have 2 slicers running. For the price, the value is outstanding, I bought an extra blade for each one just cause. Clean up is really the only complaint I have and that is not a big one. Just would like to be able to submerse the unit without the motor,, but, the finish is great and it cleans up great.
For the price, you can't buy a better unit,,,
Customer Review: Easy to use, easy to clean up

Bought the Chefs Choice 610 food slicer, then saw the Waring FS150 (similar but a Professional model with larger motor) for $30 less an hour later. Bought that one also with intent to look up reviews online and decide at home. After reading reviews (great reviews for Chefs Choice, awful reviews for the Waring) and instruction manuals on both (still can't believe you can't run the Waring for more than 10 minutes at a time and the poor design for cleanup) decided to keep the Chefs Choice. Used it to slice roast beef, swiss cheese and baked turkey breast. Worked extremely well on all and the unit is extremely easy to use. Cleanup took about 5 minutes total. Unit is a little larger than I would have liked, but all the food slicers have similar dimensions. Well worth the extra $30.Customer Review: Best money can buy
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this slicer about a month ago and it is fantastic, I also have a Waring Pro FS150 and the 610 is by far the better machine, it's very, very easy to clean as the carriage and the backplate come of in a matter of seconds which can then be taken to the sink for washing and no tools are needed. The slicer cuts paper thin, you can make potatoe chips, or you can cut up to 1" thick. I also have the edgecraft 662 which is out of these slicers class in quality and price, but no matter how you slice it, I still like the 610 the best because it is so much easier to clean than the 662.The motor is a good one, it's not like the Waring which can only be used for 10 miniutes. The 610 can be used indefitly. Anyway I don't think they make a better slicer for any amount of money.
