Chef's Choice 630 International Gourmet Electric Food Slicer
Designed for household use, this electric food slicer is  perfect for meats, cheeses, vegetables, and fruits, making it easy to  prepare sandwiches, salads, antipasto, and party trays. 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 thickness-adjustment knob permits paper-thin slices  or slabs about 0.6-inch thick. Safety features include a hidden  childproof switch that prevents the slicer from being turned on, and an  automatic on/off switch on the thickness-control knob so the slicer  shuts off as soon as the thumb releases pressure. (The on/off switch  can also be set for continuous operation.) For cleaning, parts  disassemble easily. 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
