Excellent slicer
This electric meat slicer has been a fantastic addition to my kitchen. It’s compact but powerful enough to slice through meat, cheese, and even firmer foods smoothly and evenly, and the adjustable thickness setting makes it easy to get exactly the cut I want every time. It feels sturdy and well built, and the plugin power means it works consistently without slowing down or struggling. It has suction cups that secure the machine to the surface. I also appreciate how easy it is to clean, the removable parts come off quickly and wipe down easily, which saves a lot of time. Overall, it’s reliable, efficient, and gives professional looking results at home. Great quality for the price and highly recommended for anyone who wants neat, uniform sliced meats without the supermarket mark up.

Perfect for homemade sliced ham.
This electric deli food slicer has been great for making our own sliced ham at home. We usually sous vide a joint of ham, let it sit in the fridge to cool properly, and then use this to slice it. The results are excellent. You can get nice even slices and adjust the thickness easily depending on what you want it for. It’s made a big difference compared to trying to slice by hand, and it feels much more consistent and tidy. Once the ham is properly chilled, the slicer handles it really well without tearing or struggling. If you like making your own deli style meats or just want more control over how thick your slices are, this is a really handy bit of kit and well worth having.

A Heavyweight Kitchen Ally
As someone who works with cured meats, artisanal loaves, and delicate cheeses on a near-daily basis—whether prepping for large boards or refining portions for sous vide—I can confidently say the OSTBA SL-518 Electric Food Slicer is one of those machines that surprises you with its capability at this price point. It’s not commercial-grade heavy-duty, but in the realm of home and light-professional slicing, it punches far above its weight. The 19cm stainless steel serrated blade offers a remarkably consistent cut. Whether you’re going for near-transparent Parma ham or chunkier slices of homemade rye bread, the 0–15mm adjustable dial gives you fine-tuned control. It handles cold cooked meats, roast beef, block cheese, dry sausage, crusty bread, and even soft tomatoes with admirable ease. I’ve sliced through firm cheddar, wobbly camembert, and even tried thick Indian mutton for kebab prep—each with results I’d expect from more expensive models. The motor’s 150W output doesn’t sound like much, but it’s efficient and doesn’t bog down or overheat with extended use. What I appreciate most is the combination of power and safety. The dual-button start (requiring both the power button and child lock to be pressed) is an excellent feature—especially if you're like me and have inquisitive children wandering into the kitchen mid-prep. The slicer won’t turn on unless both are held down, which adds peace of mind. That said, the buttons themselves are a little stiff at first. It takes some getting used to, especially when you're wearing gloves. The removable blade, food carriage, and slide-rod extension are well-designed for cleaning—critical if you're switching between meat, cheese, and vegetables frequently. I found that a quick rinse and a bit of food-safe degreaser post-session keeps it looking and functioning like new. The unit is dishwasher safe, though I prefer to hand wash mine to extend longevity. When it comes to performance and versatility, the OSTBA SL-518 proves itself as a true multi-tasker. I tested it across a wide range of foods and slicing tasks, and it handled every one with precision and control. I began with paper-thin beef slices for hotpot—something that normally takes ages with a knife—and the slicer produced near-transparent cuts effortlessly. For schnitzel prep, I used it to slice chilled chicken breast into even fillets, ensuring consistent thickness and perfect pan coverage. I moved on to finer deli work, running Parma ham and pancetta through it for antipasti platters, followed by whole cured chorizo and kabanos sticks, both of which sliced cleanly with no crumbling. Cheeses were next, with cheddar, gouda, and even soft brie going through beautifully for sandwiches. I then tried various breads—rye, ciabatta, and brioche, both fresh and day-old—and was pleased with the clean, uniform slices. It was just as effective with vegetables and fruit. I cut sweet potato slices for dehydrating, and created beautiful eggplant and courgette ribbons for grilling. Pears and apples were thinly sliced for desserts and dried fruit, with the slicer managing their softer texture surprisingly well. For heartier deli-style meals, I prepped thick-cut pastrami for Reuben sandwiches and tofu slices for Asian stir-fries. Thick halloumi slabs came out perfect for pan-frying, and chilled salmon cut cleanly for sashimi. Pork loin slices for ramen bowls were effortless, and lamb leg rounds were spot-on for grilling. Roast turkey breast was handled with ease for weekday lunches, and I cut thick baguette slices for garlic bread in seconds. Onion rings sliced consistently for deep frying, while fennel and celery were finely ribboned for fresh slaws. As a finishing touch, I even shaved a block of chocolate to use in baking—and again, the machine handled it with precision. All told, these 20 varied use cases prove that this slicer isn’t just for meat—it’s a precision tool for anyone who loves to prep ingredients across cuisines, textures, and cooking methods. In every one of those, it performed consistently—so long as the ingredient was sufficiently firm or chilled. That’s the golden rule: chill your product before slicing, especially soft items like poultry or cheese. Pros: – Very consistent cut quality with good power-to-performance ratio – Excellent value for its class – Compact footprint with sturdy build – Easy disassembly for proper cleaning – Versatile slicing range from paper-thin to thick cuts – Child-lock adds safety, especially around kids – Quiet operation for a motor of its strength Cons: – Power and lock buttons are stiff and may fatigue fingers – Not suitable for commercial all-day use (motor needs rest between long batches) – Serrated blade is less ideal for super-clean cuts on raw meat (you may want a smooth blade separately) – Suction feet hold well on smooth surfaces, but not as reliable on textured countertops – Slightly heavy for smaller kitchens (nearly 4kg) The OSTBA SL-518 is ideal for serious home cooks, prep-focused households, small catering gigs, and batch cooking fans. It offers a great middle ground between domestic simplicity and near-professional functionality. Whether you’re crafting a charcuterie board for 10 or meal-prepping a week's worth of sandwiches, this machine handles the job cleanly, safely, and consistently. If you respect its limits, maintain it properly, and understand its strengths (and occasional quirks), it’ll serve as one of your most practical, time-saving tools in the kitchen. Highly recommended—with a sharp knife on standby for the few things it shouldn’t slice.

Great slicer that is easy to use
After my first attempt I can say that this is an excellent bit of machinery. Very easy to use and the instructions of how to use are easy to figure out but don't have the best translation into English. My first attempt was with a lump of meat. The serrated blade made cutting through a breeze and the thickness was simple to select with the measurements printed on the unit. It did however cut leaving a wedge on the joint of meat after a few cuts but this might be more user error than the machine itself. Simply spinning the meat made it go away. The width of the machine is about as big as a large chopping board and is the hight of a medium sized pan. On the base is four suction cups that hold it in place on the worktop. Definitely worth buying if you want to slice your own sandwich meat or cheese.
