I've got a related question for everyone. I've bought and now returned two slicers that just didn't cut the mustard. Well, maybe they'd be OK with mustard. But for slicing this stuff, they absolutely were bad news. Fortunately I bought them from Gander mountain online who has a good return policy. They weren't the cheapo's either. $120 range and a well known brand (Waring Pro 800), but they were only 130 Watt motors, made in China, the metal was thin, the motor weak, and the plastic brittle. I was having to hang on to the base with one arm (bad bad bad!) while trying to slice some smoked beef for sammies, and while they said 1/32 inch to 5.8th inch, there was no way I could get 1/32 inch.. So, which specific models are everyone using, are you plumb happy with it, where did you buy it, and finally, what kind of $$ are we talking. I can keep slicing by hand, but that gets real tiresome!. Thanks! Phil
