It is electric; though there is a nearly identical model that is manual.
The automated slicing comment was in reference to Sqwertz original post that
he wanted a slicer that you put food on the tray, turned it on and it
automatically moved the tray back and forth to do continuous slicing without
hands-on.

Yes, thanks) Yes, I knew about the automatic one and I was showing my
(non automatic) one)

I am happy enough with mine. It is easy to take apart and wash, as someone
else mentioned

It is getting a lot of use atm. I got fed up with buying packs of pre
sliced pre cooked meat for sandwiches. I worked out the price and it was
horrendous. I bought several joints of meat, roasted them and sliced them
and froze them in packets. It is just as easy to take out a packet for
sandwiches as go shopping to buy a packet

Did I say, my husband loves cooked meats for sandwiches)

Actually when I had a good read on the back of those packets ... at least
mine is the pure meat without all the rubbish they put in with them.
