The unit is built using a 130 watt motor and a 7 inch blade. Although the unit wouldn't be found in a professional setting, has anyone experience with the unit?
Despite the smaller carriage, slicing bacon can be achieved by using a workaround: cutting the slab in half lengthwise and then proceeding to slice it and getting 5 or 6 inch slices as a result. I'd use this unit around once a month to slice a 4 or 5 pound slab. And btw the instructions recommend running the motor for not more than 10 minutes at a stretch which is fine with me.
Again, does anyone out there have experience with this unit as I may exchange it for something else even though it was received as a gift.
