Oh absolutely, I've used mine enough in 2 years, if it crapped out tomorrow it wouldn't owe me a penny. There is a Weston 9" or 10" model around for around $200 I'd like to upgrade to, but... on dis. that's a hard cookie to chew right now, lol (sliced or unsliced, lol!). But, it is a well built unit, even dropped it one time and didn't harm it (from a high shelf, about 8 ft). For under $100, I'd trust it to work. Don't abuse it, push too hard, slice too big of a piece of meat (like a whole sirloin tip - cut it in half first) or thick slice hard provolone or cheddar - it is a light duty slicer. If you want more, then pay more. You get what you pay for.
