Avantco SL312 12" Manual Gravity Feed Meat Slicer - 1/3 hp

Bought this slicer for my restaurant in 2013 to slice cheese. I was looking for a cost effective slicer as it does not see heavy use. This has served our purpous very well, I slice cheese once a week and have done so for 2 years with no problems at all if it were to be used to slice for hours every day I could see where it might be a little too light duty but for the occasional use it does a great job, can;t beat it for the money.

For the number of times that we use this slicer (which is about medium duty), it met our expectation for the price. It works great and is easy to clean. I would not recommend it for a business that needs a heavy duty slicer.

After searching and searching on different websites. We were happy to find exactly what we were looking for. And it's brand-new and a wonderful price point. This meat slicer will serve our diner for a long time

This slicer is light weight and easy to go from place to place. Perfect addition for off site events. Easy to clean and store. Worth the money.

Purchased this for my new deli and love it, so easy to use and clean. Would totally recommend this product, can not beat the price and quality.

I've only used this a few times so far, but it's been awesome. Slicing things super see-through thin and thicker with no problems. I almost got the bigger motor model but I think that would have been a waste of money and this guy works great.

I've been using this for the last couple months and its been perfect. Being able to adjust the thickness is great and the bigger tray size allows for bigger slices.

Brought the slicer to to slice homemade slabs of bacon. No issues cutting through a frozen slab of bacon creating uniform thickness slices. I was even able to cut slabs wider than product tray by tilting the slab and feeding it into the blade.

This product works as it should. Webstaurant's prices are by far the best around! I am a huge fan of all their items, so happy to have found Webstaurant!

this 12 inch slicer is very easy to use and operate. The shipment came in very quickly and with no damages. I would recommend this slicer to everyone

Great slicer. We have been using it for daily deli and cheese. Works great and no issues. We aren't high volume with the deli meats, but do cut with it each day without any issues.

This is one great machine right here! Cleans and works amazing! Cuts to any thickness you want, from lunch-meats to steaks to pretty much anything you want!

This is serving its purpose in my small cafe, it replaced a more expensive machine, but we use it mostly for veggies , some cheese , fresh beef roasts and not more than an hour a day..if you need a light duty slicer this is fine

Donna H. Posted on 05/05/2016

the cost was very affordable and worked as if it was very expensive.. the quality is very sturdy. I'm really glad that I decided to purchase this slicer

this meat slicer should be taken of the market or priced reduced greatly. i would have returned this item but i tried t make it work due to the fact that the meat slicer that i was replacing was 15 years old and had seen better days. and it is sad to say that it does a better job than the this one that i bought to replace it with. Money not well spent and thrown down the drain. this machine was very hard to get to the parts that needed cleaning daily but i could have dealt with the little extra work. it was the actual usage of the machine that i was and still am very very disappointed with. the spin and hold on the meats would waste, shred, tear up and make some of my meats not presentable and even unusable. if i could return it i certainly would. but i tried using it past my point of return. it would waste at least a pound of meats on each loaf. i highly recommend removing this meat slicer from your inventory. i now have money. plus sitting in the corner of my store. sincerely disappointed: LYN WILKERSON

Overall, this is a good slicer. However, the backing plate got bent and we were told by the company that we must have dropped it. We literally haven't moved it since we've bought it. Kind of lame. This isn't webstaurant.com's fault of course. The knob's handle is made of plastic and will break if tightened really well.

This slicer slices cheeses and hams effortlessly. It is so simple to operate, that even first timers can get the hang of it and slice perfect slices.

andres G. from El Habanero Posted on 01/16/2016

So far we are very happy with our new slicer. I can already tell that we will not have a lot of waste with this unit. Fairly light weight so we've told our employees to treat with care.

This is a great slicer. Says it won't cut cheese but that must mean for large operations. We cut 16 lbs of cheese a week and it works just fine. Our volume is only about 40lbs of ham, salami, cappy a week and this one handles it perfectly.

tim C. from bizzarros italian restaurant Posted on 11/18/2015

Quality product at a real good price. Slices what we need to be sliced. Easy to clean. Also got the cleaning kit to keep it working right.

Shane L. Posted on 05/18/2015

Slicer works as advertised and is pretty easy to clean up. I feel that there is more overspray when slicing than my other brand slicer.

Todd Z. from The Weekday Cafe Posted on 12/10/2014

I think this machine would be great for light duty...we may have over used it because the motor seems to be slowing down...but to be fair it did say for light duty.

Jay B. from bridgemans Posted on 02/13/2014

Strong construction, very high quality knife. Easy to wash, clean and operate. High quality aluminium construction. Perfect for bakerys, supermarket, cafeterias and all commercial kitchen.

We ordered this slicer for our grille room. We are more than pleased with the price and function for our purpose. Glad for the websites suggestion, it saved us over 200 bucks over the other choice.

The slicer has been a great addition to the kitchen. It works well and it is as described. It slices effectively and provides a consistent product.

We are very popular with our lunch time deli meats. This slicer is very nice and slices a lot of product in a no time.
