Well if you have the 1/3 horse you will not have any issues, you just want to make sure you keep an eye on the motor temp, if it gets to warm then give it a rest, that is really the only issue, I have not broken mine down all the way, and yes I will, broken or not, it is a disease, I will tear that puppy into pieces and put it back together again, same thing I do with new weapons :), but do not plan on defending myself with or killing anything with the slicer of course, but I am interested to see if the motor has oilable bearings, if so I will be religiously oiling them even if I do not take it on a endurance run.
That is why I wanted at least a 1/4 horse, it should be plenty for what I need, and for the volume I will be doing, it is more than enough, outside of design, that motor is the heart of the beast, which is why I did not want any of the cheapies that list wattage, I did not want a slicer with a fan motor in it, I wanted something a bit more substantial, and money was a concern, so my focus was middle of the road blade (10"), a sizeable tray, this one is 8" and at least 1/4 horse, I set the 1/4 horse because I could already see that 1/3 was out of my budgets reach, but I am sure this will do the trick for what I need, it is well made and I like the tray, slide and the grav feeder, it has a nice design, so without having used it yet I am happy, I feel I will be happy as well when I finally get to use it :)
Mine is inside too, and my wife is being patient as well, but cannot move it to the barn without power there yet ..................Right ? hehehe
