OSTBA Electric Meat Slicer with 7.5” Stainless Steel Blades, 200W

This is a great compact meat slicer to have at home! The quality is impressive, and it’s easy to use without taking up much counter space. Perfect for slicing meats, cheeses, and more. It’s convenient, efficient, and a great addition to any home kitchen!

This is a very capable and well-built slicer that performs at a much higher level than expected. It delivers consistent, even slices and allows for easy adjustment of thickness, which makes it useful for a wide variety of foods. The control you have over slice thickness gives it a more professional feel compared to basic kitchen tools. The blade is extremely sharp, which contributes to its effectiveness, but also means you need to use caution during operation. It does include safety features, which help, but it is still a tool that requires attention and care. The unit itself is sturdy and stable during use, and it feels well constructed. For what it does, it is also reasonably compact. One thing I really appreciate is that it can be taken apart for cleaning. That makes maintenance much easier after use. For added safety, I store it in the original box when not in use. What I like: Very sharp blade for clean, precise cuts Adjustable thickness for versatility Sturdy and stable during use Feels like a professional-grade tool Easy to disassemble and clean Things to be aware of: Blade is extremely sharp, use care at all times Requires attention and safe handling Slight learning curve for first-time use Overall: This is a powerful and effective slicer that delivers excellent results. It feels like using a professional tool at home, and once you get comfortable with it, it becomes very easy to use. With proper care and attention, it is a great addition for anyone looking for precision slicing.

Upgraded from another brand - had problems on the lower end with pieces cutting cleanly. I make my own bacon and smoke cheeses. I need a slicer that is reliable on thickness and will cut cleanly on the whole piece without that annoying bottom flap, especially on pork bellies. The two blades are a blessing. Slicing smoked cheeses is a breeze, each piece is uniform and it just ends up a visually appetizing product. The blades are SO easy to interchange, too. The safety features are just that - they are not intended for the challenged-of-patience or, "I got this," ilk. I have another OSTBA machine and while the writers of the instructions may think they're clear, you gotta trial-and-error and interpret to figure out what works. It may take some doing. But do not lose heart. Once you become one with the machines, they are WONDERFUL kitchen-quality essentials if you desire to feed your family and friends with home-prepared, less-chemically-enhanced protein. It's a lot of work but my husband wouldn't trade my home-cured bacon or smoked Pepper Jack for anything you could get at the local hoy-poloy deli and pay bucks-tons more for, and I control the chemicals. Moms, if you're slicing you kids' school lunch meat from bologna you've cured and aged. this puppy is for your routine. Haven't tried it on fruit, though. I found that bacon does best when half-frozen. Blessing.

I got this so I can cut my own kbbq meat at home. I found that slicing your own kbbq meat is beneficial for 2 reasons: cheaper prices and control + consistency over thickness of slices. Specifically I mainly slice brisket for kbbq into thin 2-3 mm pieces (if you slice thicker than this then the brisket can be chewier/harder than desired for kbbq; typically you want brisket pretty thin). I've found the key to slicing this thin is freezing your brisket first. I buy a full brisket at costco or sam's club, then cut it into chunks that I can slice in the future, then freeze it. I don't mean freeze it for 2-3 hours pre-slicing. I mean full on freeze - leave it in your freezer for days, weeks, months for all I care. Then start slicing them when you're ready. You'll get thin consistent slice every time. Better than purchasing it pre-sliced at the market because those are inconsistent sizes and sometimes too thick. I do the same with pork belly - buy at costco, cut it up into slicing size, and freeze it. Then I slice to pork belly samgysaal size and I'll even slice some really thin for think pork belly rice bowls. Tastes great! So far this has lasted great - I've used it at least once a week and haven't had to change blades yet either. The power is fine and does not stop suddenly even with cutting frozen meat for more than an hour. Clean up is fairly easy but does take time. I unscrew the blade every time to wash it. Taking off all the parts that can be washed is easy - simply wash those in the sink. The hardest part is wiping down the machine parts with hot/warm cloth, soapy suds, and then again with hot/warm water. I try to take care of my machine to make it last longer and to make sure there is no contamination/germs for the family. Key tip: I use a toothpick to get the little pieces of meat that stick to the harder to reach crevices in the machine. Overall - this has really served me well especially for KBBQ and I'm very pleased.

I don’t usually do reviews but this thing is sweeeeeeet. Don’t expect commercial quality build for $100 but sure is a lot better than slicing 5lb of beef for jerky by hand. I also did turkey breast on it which some parts of were mostly frozen and it didn’t even blink. Seems like the motor is plenty powerful. Blade spins slower than I expected but i haven’t found that to be a problem in usage. I try to keep my kitchen gadgets to a minimum but I think I’ll enjoy having this around. The back part where the food will push against (parallel to the blade) is pretty flimsy so i’ve noticed sometimes slices come out a little wider on one end than the other but its not drastic. It comes apart real easy to clean. Easy to adjust width. I’ve cut about 8 pounds of meat with it and never felt like it needed more power. Real thin slices can be a little tough to get but it can do it for the most part. For $100, im pretty happy with it

I’ve only used this a few times so far, but I bought it mainly so I could slice meat for schnitzel and other dishes where I want a particular thickness that’s hard to get from the deli or butcher without feeling like I’m being overly picky. For as much as I’ll use it, the quality is good, it does exactly what I need, and it’s very easy to clean. I would recommend using a mesh glove when cleaning it, but that’s just good meat slicer safety in general. So far, so good. It does what I bought it for, and for the money, I think it’s a great value.

I've have an old slicer that I call a book style slicer... it's all plastic except for the blade and is about the size of a hard cover book. Think of a book sitting on it's spine and open it up so half the book is sitting on the table top and the other half with the blade is still upright... and now do your slicing. Yeah cheap, light, flimsy and takes three hands to use. but it has been working for 15 years or longer. So this slicer is to replace that old slicer. More sturdy and stable and doesn't need three hands to operate. Slicing wise I would say they are about equal that way. The old slicer's blade seems sharper while this one doesn't seem to be very sharp. When washing the blade I felt the edge to feel how sharp it is and if it was one of my knives I would be saying it's dull and in need of some serious sharping. I tried slicing both a block of cheese and a deli style cooked ham. The ham had been frozen and defrosted in the refrigerator until it was not frozen. It seems like it took more pressure pushing it through the slicer then it should have, more then my 15 year old $19.99 slicer that has never been sharpened. I like the removable bar the carriage rides on which is a lot more stable then my "book" slicer that it's carriage just rides in a slot in the base. The piece that holds the meat on the carriage which has those points on it works so-so. The points don't really dig into the meat very well and once have pushed the meat through the blade the blade will push the meat off the end of the slicer. If push hard enough to keep the meat from being pushed off the end of the slicer it causes enough drag on the blade that it slows down slightly and can hear the motor straining. Plus if pushing that hard it will change the thickness of the slices and cause the bar to flex slightly so that the pointed thing could run into the blade. Both can be over come by not pushing hard against the blade and once a slice is made tilting the carriage back while using a couple of fingers to hold the meat in the carriage and slide the carriage back to start position and then push meat back into place on the carriage. Then do another slice. Another problem is the carriage rolls on a single wheel near the blade and slicing both the cheese and cooked ham causes a lot of crumbly pieces that will fall down between the blade and carriage which then acts kind of like a wheel chock preventing the carriage from moving smoothly or easily. Every few slices have to flip the carriage up and wipe out the crumbs where the wheel rolls on. Considering all of this it still slices quicker the my old slicer which constantly tries to close shut and needed three hands to operate. (it didn't have an on/off button but needed to have a safety switch held in while holding the on switch in and then doing the slicing, I got around the safety switch by pushing that button down into the switch hole and sideways so it stayed stuck down). So as far as ease of use it far surpassed my old slicer. Plus this slicer can slice a bigger piece of meat (or whatever) then my old slicer could. I bought a 10 pound Member's Mark Uncured Black Forest Ham and had cut into thirds cross wise. This slicer could handle the 3.3 pound size without problem. My old slicer couldn't handle that big and meat would have to be sliced into two half rounds reducing height to half. Clean up was easy, Push the locking tab at one end of the bar and lift out bar and carriage, slide the lever for slice thickness to widest setting, flip up the blade lock lever and rotate to remove blade. Take all of that stuff to the sink to wash. The rest of the slicer doesn't need to be taken apart but simply wipe clean with damp soapy sponge or cloth and wipe down with one of those bleach type disposable wipes, and dry with paper towel or cloth. When the stuff that was washed in the sink dries reassemble everything and change the slice thickness so the blade edge is hidden. If they could improve where the wheel rides on so it's not trying to roll through all of those crumbs and getting stuck it would make this a lot quicker slicing where don't have to stop every few slices to clear out the crumbs the wheel gets stick on. And do something so that what ever is being sliced doesn't get pushed off the end by the blade. The first couple of slices the meat actually slide completely off the end of the slicer onto the table. After that used a finger to hold the meat in the carriage while slicing. Perhaps adding a lip to that end of the carriage to stop stuff from being pushed off by the blade.

I bought this OSTBA meat slicer to fulfill my dream of having paper-thin prosciutto at home. I can confirm that this machine works incredibly well. It slices through meat and cheese with the grace of a hot knife through butter. It is actually a bit too good, which makes me feel like a dangerous professional deli clerk. However, I must issue a small warning. Operating this thing has given me the same level of caution as a cartoon villain handling a bomb. I treat it with absolute respect, keep my fingers miles away from the blade, and use the child safety lock like my life depends on it. On a serious note, the 200W motor is surprisingly strong. I am giving it 4 stars because while the slicing performance is top-tier, cleaning it can be a bit of a puzzle. You definitely have to be careful with the blade removal process, and it takes a little extra effort to get all the tiny food bits out of the crevices. Still, I am now the most popular person in my household during sandwich hour, and I have all my fingers intact. It is a fantastic machine for the price, just keep your fingers clear and your cleaning supplies handy.

Bad bad device ! Already broken! Don’t buy it.
