Very helpful and informative video. This is one of 8 videos I viewed of household users demonstrating their Beswood 250 slicers. It has been a valuable part of my research when I was in the market for a meat slicer last month. The Beswood 250 is my favorite slicer in the $350 price range. At first, I did not want to spend that much money. However, after seeing this and the other video demonstrations like it, I began to see the long term value in it. I now have the Beswood 250, and I am so glad I found out about this reliable, durable, and easy to clean slicer. Very happy with this great investment.
The Beswood and equivalent KWS are quite good for the price, and are the lowest end slicers I would consider. You would go through more than enough cheap slicers to pay for these slicers before you even start wearing down the Beswood/KWS blade much by sharpening with the integral sharpener. These slicers should outlast most major appliances, lasting decades of use. You might want to pay a bit more for the Chromium blade on the Beswood or the Teflon blade on the KWS. These blades don't grab the cheese as much, and are highly rust resistant. Don't expect sales to drop the price all that much - you might save $20-$40 at best. But they are bargains even at that price.
I have one similar to that low end slicer you have there it's called an escrow anescra and I love it it's not loud like that one you turned on and it does what I need it to do
Yeah all slicers do that they grab the cheese on your backstroke I've noticed it just with cheese though but if you keep your hand in front of the cheese and keep pressure on the back side of the cheese roll it works fine
The Beswood is worth the money. Quality is there. Its pretty simply to clean. I take off the sharpening stone attachment and only put it on when i need to sharpen. And the plate on the back side of the blade i took off as well. It doesnt do much. When you take those 2 things off its become a breeze to clean after use. I use it to cut frozen solid meats. it cuts like butter. you dont hear the motor straining like the cheaper brands.
The Beswood and comparable KWS are both high end belt drives with powerful motors (250W for Beswood, 320W for KWS). Replacement motors, belts, and other parts are available.
This is not a review, it's a bully picking on the smallest kid on the playground. You didn't even give it a chance to be seen working. Some people don't have the counter space, the cupboard space for the bigger unit, and don't need to cut that much meat or cheese. I bought the Borlebbi for those reasons. Yes it's noisy. Yes it's slow. But it goes through a turkey breast just fine. Once it's on the plate, nobody's going to know which machine sliced it. SMH!
