   Is it really fair to compare a $100 meat slicer against a $300 one? I worried the Beswood would be ridiculously difficult to clean. When it comes to true value for moderate home use, that’s what it came down to for me. I’ve tested both and can only keep one. Here’s what I’ve learned:INTRODUCTION TO TWO TOP SLICERSBoth of these are very popular on Amazon and highly regarded. The Beswood has a smooth 10 inch smooth blade forged in Europe and the Ostba has a 7.5 inch serrated blade. I’m a serious BBQ guy and cook hoping a smaller model would be enough. I want to be able to slice thin and vac seal roast beefs, jerky, hot pot, tri-tips, hams, pork tenderloins, and pork belly. My hope was that the compact Ostba would be time saving to clean vs. the Beswood, and much easier to handle at 10 lbs. vs. 33.SIZE AND WEIGHTAs you can see in my photo, the Ostba is compact and easy to handle. Suction cups are supposed to keep its light weight firmly planted on the counter. The Beswood is truly a heavy “Big Bertha” but weighs less than many comparable 10 inch models. I have average arm strength and can lift and carry without issue.TESTING THE BESWOODSlicing was an absolute dream with the Beswood. Like buttah! I have read this slicer is the equal of a 13 inch Hobart deli slicer, just sized down for smaller businesses, or home use. I realized right away the heavier weight is an asset, not liability. It stays planted on the counter, has a huge tray table to hold the meat, and spikey grabbers to grab it as you slice. The slice dial is in millimeters and I found that 2mm was perfect for ham. See the photo. If you like it ultra thin, or what they call in Pittsburgh “Chip Chop Ham” the slicer complies like an absolute pro.TESTING THE OSTBAI first bought the Ostba. Slicing is adequate. It does slice thin yet the slice thickness wheel is a bit of a guestimate. It gets the job done and I bought it because its 200 watt motor can power through meats more effectively than pretty much all other small 7.5 inch models. The motor is loud but not unexpected. Slicing action is not smooth, but not unreasonable. Even with the powerful motor, you have to muscle a bit through the meat. Unfortunately, our kitchen counters are textured and the suction cups don’t stick. This forced me to grab onto the Ostba with some force so it wouldn’t slide on the counter as I sliced. I worry this can create a safety issue because my attention on the blade and the slicing might get even slightly distracted. This should be a rare issue for others. The Ostba sticks to smooth surfaces well.BESWOOD CLEANING NIGHTMARE? TIPS:I worried the Beswood would be a 30 minute cleaning headache and worried it would have to be disassembled to reach the blade. Some reviews are negative on the Beswood when it comes to cleaning convenience. (Allen wrench every time? No thanks!) In truth, it’s quite easy so let me explain the process:Unscrew the large knob to release the tray table. This cleans right up in a couple of minutes in the sink. See my photo of two easily found ideal cleaning and sterilizing solutions. The rest of the unit is cleaned in place: Unplug. Unscrew the knob holding the built in sharpener at the top of the unit. If there is any gunk inside carefully wipe it out and rinse it. Do not submerge in water however. It’s not hard to clean and takes just a minute. Unscrew the large knob holding in the blade guard, first making sure the slice thickness knob is set to zero. After unscrewing, give a poke forward, and the blade guard will drop into your hand. Again, it cleans up in just a minute at the sink. If it’s greasy, use a non-toxic grease removing cleanser. Simple Green mixed 1:10 is ideal, or stronger if you are working with pork belly.At this point, the blade will spin freely and you can spray with Simple Green, or skip this step and use a food-safe cleaner and sterilizer. “Lysol Daily Cleanser Free From” is new on the market and contains hypoclorous—many pro kitchens use this chemical to sterilize. You can spray, clean, and wipe, or to sterilize, spray, clean, and spray again, leaving the Lysol Free on until it dries. This chemical is very safe and also used for sprays to sterilize kids toys. Having a small brush to get into nooks and crannies helps. The one supplied with the Beswood is barely adequate. I used a nail brush and it had much more precision. I also use a green scrubby pad carefully around the blade edge.The whole job can be done comfortably in just 20 minutes, perhaps 25 after slicing more than 30 lbs of fattier meats. The best news? The blade does not need to be removed! Whew!GLOVE SAFETY AND CLEANUP TIPSpeaking of careful: you must wear cut resistant gloves when slicing and cleaning. I learned a trick to keep them clean. Put on the cut resistant gloves and then place a tightly fitting disposable rubber nitrile glove over it when you work.OSTBA CLEANINGThe Ostba has a bar that can be opened up, easily accessing the blade. Its tray table does not screw in so that is easy to clean as well. Use the solutions I recommend above to complete the job in no more than 15 minutes. However, the 5 minutes saved cleaning the Ostba is not truly gained versus the Beswood. The Beswood is so much smoother and easier to use that it saves time and effort during the slicing process.WHICH TO BUY?These slicers should last 10-15 years with reasonable care. The serrated blade of the Ostba is adequate for meat but once you’ve tried the Beswood, there is no going back. Yet, it’s almost three times the price and needs a large dedicated storage spot. If you can afford the Beswood, or its identical 9” model for $20 less, it is a dream slicer to use. If not, most occasional home users will find the Ostba plenty good enough. The Beswood is money extremely well spent.

   Facing 50# of venison product needing to be sliced I went with this slicer based on a recommendation from a forum. It is much less that the comparable LEM product and has overall good reviews.Setup is an absolute breeze even with an initial cleaning and lubrication. I’m not sure the lubrication was absolutely needed right out of the box, but better safe than sorry.Time from unpacking to slicing: <30 minutes.Performance was better than expected. The belt drive results in a much quieter and smoother slicer than my previous slicer which was geared. Initial cuts were with venison bacon which is a ground/formed product. It was refrigerated prior to slicing and pretty firm. Slices at the 3 setting were perfect for thick cut style bacon and there was little to no tearing noted which indicates the blade was sharp upon arrival. At the other end of the spectrum, I set up for 1.5mm thick slices of venison mortadella. This was also refrigerated but much more prone to tearing. The slicer breezed through the mortadella without any tear out except for the final slice or two when the meat was not well supported by the tray. I gave block of smoked cheese, and two sticks of summer sausage a try as well. The slicer performed admirably on all foodstuffs I fed it.Cleanup was also easier than expected. 99% of the cleanup can be done by removing three (3) knobs. A few of mine came overly tight from the factory, but that is an easy remedy and I was able to remove everything without an overt struggle. Overall time to clean up the first time was between 15-20 minutes and I imagine it will go faster in the future.The only con/complaint I have with the entire unit is the stoke could be ideally 1" longer. It's just a bit too short for all the work I asked of it. An aftermarket longer tray would be a really nice accessory to offer as well.Overall it is well worth the cost and a 5-star rating. Expecting many years of service from this slicer.

   Used this all weekend I smoked jerky, made roast beef and smoked cheddar. I sliced the jerky micro thin it way like eating a meat potato chip.I sliced the roast beef for sandwiches just like the deli but it was 3.75 a pound for me. The cheddar slices were perfect also. I work for a company that did all the floors at a deli so I called him up and ask him. How does he clean up his slicer? He told me he takes the parts that are removable. and sprays them with a food safe antibacterial spray and then put it in the dishwasher without using detergent, and just letting it rinse and steam dry. I definitely recommend getting some cut resistantGloves and steramine tablets for cleaning

   I bought a slicer for $100 and it wasn’t cutting it. I was hesitant to pay so much for this slicer but I am glad I did. We eat a lot of shabu shabu at home. With everything going up in price, so did the price for shaved beef. I needed a slicer that could slice thin shaved beef. This slicer did the job. The thickness is adjusted by a knob which stays in place and doesn’t move when pressing the meat on it. The slicer is huge and does not budge. It slices the frozen beef like butter and uniformly. Very happy with it!!!

   I’ve used other home grade slicers and this one blows them all away. It’s nice and heavy so it doesn’t slide around on the counter while you’re trying to use it. I frequently make jerky and this unit makes the slicing part a breeze. You can quickly and SAFELY slice several pounds of meat in just a few minutes. It produces slices of uniform thickness every time. It can be a little tricky to disassemble for cleaning but, that is the only thing I found to dislike about it. Everything else about the unit is great. It has a built in set of stones to remove burrs and sharpen the cutting wheel safely which is an added bonus. If you want a slicer that will do everything you ask of it, last years and not break the bank, this is it.
