Are you talking about Sysco? He pimps Restaurant Depot on a regular
basis - probably more times than I see copied.

That and also the commercial Costco in some cities.

Regular members can shop there as well as wholesale ones.

True, but Costco is not a place where just anyone can waltz in off the
street to shop. You need to pay for a membership first. I don't
think they are giving day passes for cash customers anymore, but I've
heard about non-members shopping with gift cards. What it means is
they aren't welcoming every Tom, Dick & Harry with open arms like your
local retail grocery or clothing store does... to say nothing of the
massive quantities you need to buy if/when you do shop for groceries
there. For instance: I'm not interested in buying a whole pig.

The one near me still does day passes, but your point is taken, they're
a club operation.

And toss the 5-star reviews that say "It looks so good on my
countertop." Ideally, you want some reviews with long time use.
Unless they specifically say how they operated it, I will discount
motor failures too. I don't know how the reviewer handled it.
Some people are stupid enough to put it in the dishwasher.
Some people might try trimming woodwork with it, or constantly force
it beyond its capacity. Or it might be a genuine mfr defect.
That happens with the best of them.
But when more than 300 people are pleased, it's a good bet.
I'm kind of surprised that many people have meat slicers.
The thought of buying one never entered my mind, until now.
Nah.

I bought one. I'm getting old and can't handle a knife well any more.
This unit has worked well. It takes up a lot of space, so we keep it
down the basement and only bring it up when we need to use it, which is
not that frequently.

My problem is that if you are careful when using it, it is safe. But if
your mate lacks sense of how to act safely around machinery, you don't
want to have one of these around. I was slicing some ham, and my wife
was catching the slices (I don't know why, I would just have let them
fall onto a plate). A small piece fell off and was jammed near the
blade. She reached in to remove it, without turning the machine off.
She didn't cut herself, but she sure tried. I finished the slicing and
we cleaned up the machine, which is not hard. Then I told her this was
dangerous and I didn't want it to be used unless we were both present so
I could pick up her fingers and stop the bleeding. The next day she
sliced a roast when I wasn't there. I put it into storage and told her
not to use it again.

Since you're into tools, how about making the equivalent of a
miter box, width-sized for the chunks of meat you want to slice,
with a narrow slot for a long, very sharp knife (which you seem
to already have)? Maybe with a pusher to move the meat (resting
on something slippery, e.g. freezer paper) a short distance at a
time?

Cheap, easy to make, lets you play with tools - what's not to like? :-)

Two or three times a year. I know that's not a lot of use but I didn't pay a lot of money for it. But it is nice to have it as it slices quicker than I can with a knife. Consistent slicing every time.

I'd buy a slicer if I owned a deli, then speed would be an issue. For
the amount of deli slicing one does in the typical home kitchen a
nicely honed carbon steel blade is very sufficient, takes little
storage space and cleans up in less time than the cutting board.

That's good to know, safety first is sound policy.

Yet we have reviews that it works just fine.

Not everyone is willing to buy a commercial deli slicer though.

Mine is pretty much like the Nesco one. It works just fine for us. We are
not a commercial kitchen

I said *IF* I wanted a slicer, I do not.
You claim to know your way around a kitchen, use a chefs knife... how
many slices do you need to make in a week that you need a machine, and
that's a child's machine. A slicing machine isn't any good for
slicing *hot* roasts anyway, tears them to shreds... every
restaurant/deli slices hot meat by hand... a slicing machine only
works well with cold meats.

Down Fang, no one ever intimated it did.

I have the Harbor Freight slicer:

It can be made to work if you are careful and patient. No doubt the
$2000 professional deli slicer is 100 times better.

I can slice cold cuts with a chefs knife as well as a $2,000
Professional slicer, maybe a wee bit slower is all but I can slice hot
roasts faster and better, and my only clean up is a knife and a
board... I'll be relaxing with my 2nd 2ni and you'll still be
scrubbing that bloody finger tip remover.
