Slicer Throwdown: Weston vs Chefs Choice

[redheelerdog]

I was looking at getting a cheap slicer, these two are priced about the same, was wondering members opinions of each.

I will mainly be using occasionally, maybe a dozen times a year for bacon and pastrami.

Thanks!

For some reason comparing a 9# slicer with a 7" blade      to a 39# slicer with a 9" blade just doesn't sound like an apples to apple comparison. Although the smaller slicer states it will slice to 1" while the 9" will slice to 1/2".

Sorry I can't be any help in your decission on which is the better machine.

This should aid in making your decision from the people who own them
