Facing 50# of venison product needing to be sliced I went with this slicer based on a recommendation from a forum. It is much less that the comparable LEM product and has overall good reviews.Setup is an absolute breeze even with an initial cleaning and lubrication. I'm not sure the lubrication was absolutely needed right out of the box, but better safe than sorry.Time from unpacking to slicing: Performance was better than expected. The belt drive results in a much quieter and smoother slicer than my previous slicer which was geared. Initial cuts were with venison bacon which is a ground/formed product. It was refrigerated prior to slicing and pretty firm. Slices at the 3 setting were perfect for thick cut style bacon and there was little to no tearing noted which indicates the blade was sharp upon arrival. At the other end of the spectrum, I set up for 1.5mm thick slices of venison mortadella. This was also refrigerated but much more prone to tearing. The slicer breezed through the mortadella without any tear out except for the final slice or two when the meat was not well supported by the tray. I gave block of smoked cheese, and two sticks of summer sausage a try as well. The slicer performed admirably on all foodstuffs I fed it.Cleanup was also easier than expected. 99% of the cleanup can be done by removing three (3) knobs. A few of mine came overly tight from the factory, but that is an easy remedy and I was able to remove everything without an overt struggle. Overall time to clean up the first time was between 15-20 minutes and I imagine it will go faster in the future.The only con/complaint I have with the entire unit is the stoke could be ideally 1" longer. It's just a bit too short for all the work I asked of it. An aftermarket longer tray would be a really nice accessory to offer as well.Overall it is well worth the cost and a 5-star rating. Expecting many years of service from this slicer.

Wanted to wait a couple months to give a solid review. First off, this machine is heavy and we’ll built. Contrast to other reviews it is very easy to clean. No need to remove blade to thoroughly clean. If you want to remove blade, it’s literally 3 Allen bolts, tool included. Use cut resistant gloves when handling blade because this thing is razor sharp. To protect your self from blade while cleaning, make sure backing plate is all the way forward and remove center guard to expose entire front of the blade.Onto to paint chipping issue mentioned. The base is a plated material. I haven’t run into a chipping issue, but I do notice some scarring from cleaning. Having said that, this is not an area in contact with your food. You should be slicing with your right hand and catching product with your left hand, not letting it hit base. Blade and all areas in contact with food are stainless or brushed. Not coated. No contamination.Blade quality. I have put probably 250lbs of meat through this thing for my jerky business. Blade hasn’t dulled at all. Haven’t needed to sharpen at all. Cuts like a dream. Make sure your meat is about 65% frozen. Raw meat will obliterate and make cleaning a disaster. Fully frozen meat will not cut as well at all and blade will actually burn the meat and discolor it on the edge.Overall, great product, well built, very quiet operation, easy to use, and so far has been very reliable. Would definitely recommend. Absolutely best upgrade I could have made for cutting jerky. Consistent cuts and allows for super thin cuts and a tender final jerky product. Couldn’t be happier.

I bought this Beswood slicer in 2019 for a friend that does catering. He puts this slicer through a lot of work mostly slicing roast beef, ham and other deli meats for his business. So far we haven't had to sharpen the blade. This monster slices meat paper thin like butter. I was concerned about the cleanup since I could see that as some reviewers mentioned the blade when taken off would be like a frisby from hell. But my friend found that once the blade thickness is set to 0 the edge hides and he can clean it without removing the blade. I bought a strong magnet in case we need to remove it. I believe the company actually sells a kit to remove the blade safely. One thing that chefs always say is that a sharp knife is safer than a dull one. The same goes for slicers. If you have to struggle with the meat to get the blade to cut it chances are you will slip and cut yourself. I have half a finger to prove it. This slicer is so sharp it cuts effortlessly so it is safer. As far as sturdy, this slicer has out performed the many slicers we purchased in the past by well over 100 times. We were buying smaller slicers and we're going through them at least one a year. The motors always burned out on us. The motor on this herculean slicer is going strong after all these years. It is not quiet but not overly loud either. Not that it would matter to us. As long as it is strong and puts up with the demand we put on it, we don't care if it sounds like a motorcycle with the muffler cut off. We are cutting meat not trying to get into a Zen moment. Just about all the parts are stainless steel. The hand guard is a thick plexiglass which did crack on us and we are ordering a new one from the manufacturer. The slicer is pricey but more than worth it. If I added up all the other ones we burned out we would be able to pay for two of these Beswood slicers easily. I highly recommend it to any one that is looking for a slicer.

Believe the reviews! The quality of this surpasses my previous 10" slicer that was branded and sold by a big outdoor store. Don't waste your money going that route first, just jump ahead and buy this one.I had named my other slicer Dexter due to having to tent off an area with plastic when I used it. It would fling meat everywhere. This one, little to none is being flung anywhere. Very easy to use. Clean-up is as expected and not all that difficult. Just use caution and clean it well when done.The quality of the Beswood is definitely worth the price as it feels industrial in construction and should last a long time.My only issue, the box I received had been opened already. Didn't appear to have anything missing or broken. A little disheartening when spending this much and having it opened already.
