I was looking for a light duty food (i.e. meat/cheese) slicer, and decided to give this "inexpensive" product a try. The "inexpensive" turned out to be plain ol' [not good]. Motor is very weak, and tends to shuts off after few minutes of regular use (when I got it, the motor housing seemed so small that I had my doubts). Another major problem is the thickness adjuster. It does not matter what setting you choose, it does not hold it. It just moves with applied pressure. A third problem is the safety button, I found out that it really needs two hands to press and hold down the two buttons (the On and the safety buttons).

Simply, after the first use, I decided to no longer own this product. I will to continue to search for a better one, and I expect to pay more for a real solid light duty slicer.

Toastmaster slicer worked beautifully until the plastic adjustment knob broke. No replacement part was available from the manufacturer. This makes the product useless

The Toastmaster Food Slicer is a solid, well-built machine that slices well. I didn't like the safety-feature built into the power switch, which requires constant use of one hand to keep the power on, leaving only your one other hand to hold the food you're slicing, which is very inconvenient and could be a safety hazard; so the manufacturer's safety feature is somewhat self-defeating. I modified the machine to disable the safety feature, which yielded a machine whose performance I am very satisfied with.
