Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Designed for household use, this electric food slicer operates either upright for meats and cheeses or tilts 30 degrees to gravity-feed vegetables, fruits, and bread to the blade, making it easy to make sandwiches for the family or slice a ham or a block of cheese. The 100-watt condenser motor operates quietly and the carriage travels smoothly. The slicer's 7-inch, surgical stainless-steel blade removes for cleaning and sharpening. A calibrated thickness-adjustment knob permits slicing from paper thin to about 3/5 of an inch. A plastic tray for catching sliced food comes with the slicer. Safety features include a hidden childproof switch that prevents the slicer from turning on and an automatic on/off switch on the thickness control knob that shuts the unit off as soon as the thumb releases pressure. (The on/off switch can also be set for continuous operation.) The parts disassemble easily for cleaning. Made of rugged plastic and stainless steel, the slicer weighs 11 pounds and measures 14 inches wide, 10-1/2 inches high, and 11-1/2 inches deep. It carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Chef's Choice 632 Slicer,
By
This review is from: Chef's Choice 632 International Gourmet VariTilt Electric Food Slicer (Kitchen)
Positive: Great! Great! Great! I spent weeks going over reviews and comments about electric food slicers in preparation for replacing one that I had been using for about 25 years. It was heavy, clunky and would slide around the counter when used. I only took it out to use when nothing else would work. But it did slice. After reading all that I could in the reviews, I decided that the Model 632 seemed the best fit for my use. Cooking is a hobby and not a profession so I needed nothing more than a good quality, home slicer. I decided to keep the new slicer on the counter for a while so I could try it out. I think it has found a permanent home. I find that I am using it almost every day for bread, meat, cheese and vegetables. The operation is smooth and with the caliper dial, very repeatable. It is stable and does not "walk" on the counter when slicing. It appears to be well manufactured and durable. Several reviewers pointed to the on/off and lock switches locations as being a problem. I find just the opposite to be true. Their location is both logical and easy to use. Though I don't use it often, I found that the little extra that I paid for the tilt table was worth the cost. Overall, it has met and/or exceeded every expectation that I had prior to purchase.
Negative: If there is a downside, it would be that the component parts are not dishwasher safe. This is nothing more that a very minor annoyance, since the unit comes apart very easily and requires little or no effort to clean. (Just use caution when cleaning the blade.) Overall: I may find problems in the future, but for the present it gets 5 stars plus. In my opinion, a good buy.

Chef's Choice 632 Food Slicer,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Chef's Choice 632 International Gourmet VariTilt Electric Food Slicer (Kitchen)
The performance of our food slicer is exceeding our expectations. It slices items like hard salami super thin without difficulty. It even works in making Beef Carpaccio with the standard blade. It had been on my wish list for years but I was afraid it would be a flimsy and dangerous tool, but the design of the carriage and the stability of the machine made my initial fears go away. The VariTilt is worth the extra price because the slices fall away from the blade instantly.

A slice of life!,

This review is from: Chef's Choice 632 International Gourmet VariTilt Electric Food Slicer (Kitchen)
I put-off buying a slicer like this because I had heard they were a problem to operate, lacked power and were difficult to clean. Then I saw the reviews for the Chef's Choice 632 and took the plunge. When it arrived the first thing I noticed was that the blade had a Titanium-gold coating just like my power drills which meant extra durability. The machine itself is very well made. Fit and finish is top-notch. And the tilt feature makes it easy to slice heavy items like meats ( tilted up ) and soft vegetables like tomatos ( tray down ). The slicing is prcise and effortless. I use my machine to cut baked bread into perfect 5/8" slabs or steak into paper thin slices for steak sandwiches.
Cleaning is a snap. The tray and holder are made of hard, tough plastic that repells sticking food and stains. The blade comes off with a twist and washes up quickly with soap and water. The body is also so smooth nothing sticks to it and is almost like cleaning a well waxed car- the food just slides away. All in all a very well designed, compact and fun to use piece of kitchen machinery.
