Very nice. Combing Craigslist for a couple of years in search of a Globe, Berkel, Hobart, Chefmate. Haven't found one yet in my price range.

My first job was at a deli washing dishes when I was 16, meat slicers like the one picture disassemble to several pieces and are relatively easy to clean.
$389 on Ebay from China. I've been looking for quite a while. We cook lunches for classes here at the shop, so we will use maybe 5/6 times a year. Cleaning is a matter of wiping down, taking about 10 minutes. Probably not good enough for professional use though(?).
I bought a $700 one 1.5 yrs ago. used 1x. for sale now $300...great gog but only hubby and me so really no use for it. I had visions of grandeur...wish I did have a use for it. I live in Rome, GA....
I was puzzled on just how much to spend on this type of kitchen item. When we do use it, it will be for 20-25 servings so little more than simply personal use IMO. Felt if I spent $100/150 it may crap out under such loads of work(?). So jumped up in price to $350+ and hope it last for quite a while. Meat slicers are expensive, can run $2/3k easy.
Who knows, it may crap out tomorrow...but tonight I'm happy with it. LOL
Yes...I will post post info tonight. Also has spiral blade which I purchased extra $100 bucks if I recall correctly. Total package roughly $800. Commercial rig.
I was lucky enough to score one from my last employer. It was just sitting around, so i asked, and he told me to take it. It was labeled as "Intedge". Made in Italy, 1/4 hp and it is very sturdy (10" blade). The switch went out, and i found a replacement at Grainger for $36.00. As near as i can tell mine is about 40 years old. Had to completely disassemble it and free everything up. It takes 10-15 minutes to clean. Yesterday i sliced about 12 lbs of cheese with no problem. You may want to check used restaurant supply places.
If it was not given to me, i probably would not have bought it, as my use for it is limited. Hopefully with more egg cooks that will change!
