What do you all use?

[Bar-B-Lew]

If I need something sliced, I take it to my Dad who has a 40 year old Berkel commercial slicer.  I told him that goes to me or my brother when he is gone.  I think a new one goes for $1000-$1500 and is probably not built as well as his.  It is a manual one.  He just showed me a loaf of marble rye that he sliced on it today.  Unbelievable.  Looked like it came from the bakery that way.

Chef's Choice 610...$100, 7 inch blade, cheap and small but has worked since 2013!

Bought this one on amazon for about $220.00.

Nice, like the price, just wonder how it would work slicing lots of cooked Tritip.  I saw a guys using his slicer a while back cutting his Tritip at a fundraiser and it looked like it worked really well.  Wish I would have looked at the name brand

Define lots?

[Goosehunter51]

My definition of lots would be about 8 tips for sandwiches for the guys at work.  Of course this wouldn’t all the time maybe three or four times a year.

I couldn’t tell you how much was at the high school football game, probably 20 +, the slicer was a life saver there.

8 I guess it could handle...Be honest nevere done that much at once, but I have done a 12lb ham a couple of times in one sitting!  If you are gonna do 20, you want something like the Zeny!

Been thinking about a 10" slicer I have one of the 8.9 or whatever cabelas and it just isn't that great. Looked on ebay, amazon and saw this one the other day, it show 320 watts compared to 240 on most of the ebay and amazon models, not sure what an extra 80 watts mean in performance.

I also have been looking to buy a meat slicer and had just about pulled the trigger on the Avantco SL310.

In reviewing their documentation, I came across this in the warranty:

Residential use voids the warranty.

Huh???

So, back to looking some more.

Yep a while back I emailed Avantco just to verify when I was looking at this model and they replied back that they were not able to honor the warranty on any of their 4 slicers when used in the home

[Bentley]

And of course you asked them why, right?

[BigDave83]

I just looked at the sl310 and sl312 warranties and it says nothing about home use, only void if used to slice raw or frozen meat.

https://www.webstaurantstore.com/documents/pdf/warranty/avantco3_warranty.pdf

I was looking at the 310 model as it is 320watts vs the 240watts of the amazon, not sure what 80 watts means over all.

[bobbert]

And of course you asked them why, right?

No I did not.   I'm sure they are not about to change their policy for me and neither do they have to explain their reason.  It seems to be standard policy on all their (Avantco) products.    And I have a right to move on to a different brand which I did.
