Reviews for Avantco SL312 12" Manual Gravity Feed Meat Slicer - 1/3 hp

have used for years - multiple times weekly. WE do not sliced daily - but it has held up great and ive only sharpened it once or twice - holds it edge well.

I'm not sure if the slicer is defective or if this is how they all are, but the setup is warped. Making it difficult to use and to evenly slice. Everyone of the staff has tried it and hates it.

Decided that I did not need this item but was unable to return due to the time restrictions. The box is unopened and will of course absorb the restocking fee.

Very happy with my new meat slicer. Definitely recommended

I love this machine, it is very quiet and has a sharp edge. It is also easy to clean.

I have several of these slicers. They work really well. Only downfall is that they are hard to get completely cleaned.

We process a whole hog every year. Slicing bacon and ham was a nightmare to do by hand. We purchased this slicer mainly for the reasonable price, locally other 12" slicers were 3X the price. We were very happy to find quality like you see in the deli. This is able to slice super thin if wanted, and can slice as fast as you can run it. We processed 8 Lbs of bacon & ham in less than 2 hours, including vacuum sealing. It also comes with a detachable blade sharpener which is awesome. I highly recommend this slicer.

Muy buena rebanadora es pequeña facil de maniobrar, meteriales de muy buena calidad

This slicer works reasonably well. The blade is easy to sharpen and the guard glides well. The downsides are that A) It's very hard to clean and B) it is quite small. We don't slice much and this guy gets the job done, but I would get something bigger if you slice regularly.

This slicer is great for the amount of slicing we do and it runs well....but why am I getting discoloration on products like ham? The ham slices have black marks on them. Is this oxidation and how can I fix it?

Well worth the money. I have waited before writing this review and after owning the slicer for 4 years next month I feel I can give a pretty accurate review. I use this about every 6 weeks to slice roughly 100 pounds of partially frozen beef and pork, whole ribeye roasts and pork loins, so it gets a workout. Have never had one problem with it and slices great. I have sliced from almost see thru thin to 1/2" thickness. Very consistent, but keep in mind that the thickness will appear different between thawed meat and frozen. Cleaning, yes, it does take a bit of work to give it a good detailed cleaning. If you use the right tools and don't over torque the screws when putting it back together, you will never have a problem. I take the bottom tray off (5 screws) and then you can the the 2 shroud nuts off which makes cleaning so much easier. Blade screws should be Swedish torque (nicensnug), not German torque (goodntight). Well worth the 20 minute clean.

We use only 2-3 months and now it’s broken. We use another one from another store it’s work almost a year. I think this one is low quality.

Not all that great, We doon't really use our slicer a lot so when my old Hobart broke after a liftime of use , we went with this one ... It does slice ok after getting some use to it, but it is a pain to clean. We spend more time taking it appart for cleaning than we do use it. Super flomsy feel to it too, but that is to be expected from that brand since all they make is "disposable".

cheaply made. the foot broke off after six months and can't be repaired. They wont cover it under warranty saying it is "damaged". Well, may be if it want so cheaply made the metal would not break under normal use. Now I have to how the whole thing away.

This is an awesome slicer and it accommodates my needs. It has come in very handy especially during these lock downs, it has allowed me to be creative and also produce of outstanding cold cut sandwiches at home.

We just ordered it late May this year and it already stopped working. It has been only 4 months. We only use it 3,4 times a week.

This slicer Avantco SL 312 12” manual is very good deal , fast delivery and soo easy the assembly, every part is good and easy to use . I think is the best for the price and I compared a lot of slicer before buy it.

It does a great job at cutting meat. We have used it to cut ham and meats. We have not been disappointed so far. Great addition to our home.

I purchased this for home use only. It is fairly light and performs well, very easy to clean. Working in kitchens all my life I always want to get the biggest and best but this satisfy's all my needs.

I love this machine . It is small and practice. Easy to use and great quality. I recommend you this producto because it's price is lower than many others.

This slicer is powerful enough for my needs and small enough to move around by myself. Not the strongest motor but perfect for my needs. Sharpens easy and it is fairly easy to clean.

The Avantco slicer has a lot of power for a small slicer. Great for small commercial kitchens and restaurants. Highly recommended!! Great for moderate use

Highly disappointed in the components with this slicer. It has been used a handful of times in the last 4 years and the metal is tarnished. We cared for it properly and it was stored in a dry space. Contacted the company who told us not to air dry after washing, then sent a video telling us to air dry all parts. They would not stand behind their product as their minimal warranty of 1 year was up. I found them to be demeaning and lacked care for their product they produced. Will definitely be going with a different company from now on. Customer service is very poor.

I would highly recommend this Meat Slicer. It is made of heavy duty rust proof material. It is very easy to use, and most importantly, it is commercial grade.

Been using this machine for over a year and it still works just fine! It does not work if you want super super thin cuts almost paper like! But it works fine for regular ham.

This is one of my favorite Webstaurantstore purchases. This slicer is very sharp, and a fairly powerful motor. I use this often for basic prep and serving uses. It does a great job with roast beef and turkey and other soft meats, but can trouble getting through aged salumi. Its impossible to get a thin slice of prosciutto or capicola, both are dense cold cuts. Also, at 10" it wont fit a whole top round, but when we have large items, we just usually split them in half and they slice perfectly. Thoroughly cleaning this machine is not for the faint of heart. It doesnt break down completely and getting into the little nooks and crannies takes work. It is a significant trade off, but at this price and value, its one we are comfortable with.

Great for the price, been using for 2 years and its still holding strong! Would buy again if we were in need of another slicer

Great slicer, easy to use. I have never ever used a sliced. Frankly I was very scared i cutting my finger off. But this slicer is great for beginners. Its simple to use, very safe and easy to clean. I havent lost a finger or hand yet!

This Avantco meat slicer is just what I needed for slicing ham, roast beef, and bacon. I had to cut the pork belly in half in order to slice it, but clients didn't mind it one bit. Sliced the roast beef and ham really well. I like that adjusting the thickness is easy. Taking it apart for cleaning was a little difficult. All in all, a great little slicer that suits my needs just fine.

Went to use this slicer and after the first use, slid the slicer over to clean underneath it. One of the feet broke off while sliding it across the stainless steel table. Contacted WebstaurantStore and they said this was product abuse and would not cover any repairs! PLEASE NOTE ALL HEAVY SLICERS MUST ME LIFTED CAREFULLY TO CLEAN UNDERNEATH AS SLIDING WILL VOID WARRANTY!

Avantco SL312 12" Manual Gravity Feed Meat Slicer - 1/3 hp is very good product. Brand is very good. webstaurant store cutomer service is very good.

This slicer is used every day, not the biggest blade at 9" but perfect for my needs. Great safety features and vey quiet to operate, Slices everything I need without any problems.

This meat slicer is fantastic and works very well. It serves its purpose smoothly and successfully and makes very clean cuts. Meets our needs sufficiently.

This product is excellent so far. I own a 3 service restaurant, and use the slicer frequently I was a little worried at first about the heavy use of this machine, as i had a pretty large Hobart slicer prior. It has passed the test so far. My only complaint is there is a small crevice that is nearly impossible to clean unless you get a tool to completely remove the blade. I use a decent size "pip cleaner" style brush instead.

Great price for this product. We have been using it for almost 4 years and it still works great. We are a very busy restaurant so it gets used a lot, highly recommend.

This is the meat slice machine that every restaurant should have! Very satisfied with this product. It is very durable and did it job very well.

Avantco SL309 12" Manual Gravity Feed Meat Slicer - 1/3 hp is a solid tool. We are happy to have this. It is reliable and still works well for us.

This manual gravity feed meat slicer is at an incredibly great and affordable price. For what you pay, this works just fine at slicing up meats.
