Product Description

Amazon.com Review

The word "maverick" conjures up images of nonconformity and risk-taking; not very confidence-inspiring adjectives when applied to a machine that features a formidable 7-inch stainless-steel slicing blade. However, with the Maverick food slicer, safety is a given: this deluxe household slicer contains a host of safeguards to ensure that only food--not fingers--makes contact with the cutter. Many commercial slicers require the operator to press and guide the food manually through the blade--a risky business when getting down to those final swipes. On the Maverick slicer, cheddar cheese, roast beef, or bread is held in place with a press plate and glides along a feeder track. Hands touch the feeder, but not the food.

To operate the machine, dial the desired thickness using the knob on the back of the motor housing and release the safety lock. Then hold down the pulse switch throughout the cutting process. If you let go for any reason, power to the blade shuts off--and so does the cutting action. A necessity for home canning, dehydrating, or preparing luncheon meats, the slicer comes with a 90-day warranty, and the blade, blade cover, and press plate disassemble for thorough cleaning. --Carol Gnojewski

Pros: Easy to clean. Solid cast aluminium chasis.
Cons: After slicing just a few cabbages, the motor got extremely hot and the slicer began to smell. The 10-minute per hour duty cycle as the manual recomends is too little for any serious work. My unit will die soon from motor damage.
The safety switch will cause cramps if you have to hold it down for more than a few minutes.

This is such a wonderful slicer. It is very easy to handle and most importantly can be cleaned in a short time. It's perfect for a bonless ham. I would definately say this is a must for anybody with a large family. It is well worth the investment!
