Looking at a Beswood 250 slicer, any reviews?

I know it is Swiss made and the blade is made in Italy specifically to handle shaving dry cured meats down to 0.5mm. For the price @$298.00 it sounds like a good buy for a mid-range Small Commercial/ Heavy-Use Home Model.

Looking for opinions/reviews....

It looks to be pretty well built. The fact there's only 8" from the back of the deck to the blade might be a minor concern, I'd want to know if it came with some kind of blade sharpening devise. RAY

Yes, built in blade sharpener.

Looks like a decent sharpener to me, but I've never heard of that brand.
I'll sell you a Torrey 12" commercial for $450, if you come pick it up.

I purchased one of these in November. I have used it 3-4 times to slice Canadian bacon. Last time it was 3 whole loins worth. I have no complaints, I have yet to use the sharpener and have not noticed it bogging down at all during use. I sliced some on the .5 setting and thin sliced is apparently everyone’s favorite around here. My favorite is approximately 3/16” but I don’t remember what that setting is, I just turn the dial till I like the thickness. I’m very satisfied with it. Cleaning isn’t too bad just tedious. I’ll be happy to answer any specific questions you have.

Thank you for posting! Glad to know someone that can verify it will cut 0.5mm.
