if you walk away will it slice meat by itself?

No, you have to slice it yourself. It is very easy to do you can slice a boneless ham in on time at all. This is a nice slicer buy it you will be happy with the slicer and it is a snap to clean too.

No. The thumb button on the side of the knife releases the blade when pushed upward.

They say with the extra power that it has no problem slicing frozen meat. With the way it handled thawed pork loin I would be afraid to try it on frozen meat. I would NOT recommend this slicer at all.

It does! We slice pickles, potatoes, roasts, and cheese. It all turns out fine. I read in another review to just take it slow and I have to agree. It's not an industrial slicer that can whip right through things, but for home use, a steady pace does the job well.

It will do about a one inch piece of meat. My problem with it is the knives are to far apart to really do a good job. You have to run the meat through to many times to get the tenderness you may be looking for.

Even if it does take them, my feeling is that you WILL nick (or even CUT) yourself. The handle is long and you can't be looking at what you are doing. A combination almost guaranteed to result in a slice....

You can disconnect the slicer. It's just screwed on with a wing nut. You can always reattach.

I have found that I do need to stop and start a bit when slicing through a block of cheddar cheese fresh out of the refrigerator (not freezer). This is not a problem at all--just my two cents. Overall, I would recommend this slicer.

Move it back and forth while pulling it out, be careful not to cut yourself tho. The blade is VERY sharp!

Yes it does. But I've got so used to it that I normally do without the guard or use it to the end. I mean after slicing more than half the vegetable.

I am sorry I can not answer your question to the detail, because I had this for my Mom-in-law. But if you like to slice bacon like the package they sell at the store then you will be fine. Don't forget let the meat frozen a little bit. I believe it may go far back around 1/3 of an inch or may be more. Check more on specification. Hoping this help your question a little bit. Don't forget to clean behind the blade after use, it may build up from meat chrome.

Yes, as long as you hold down the activation bar, it'll cut whether you push or pull the mower.

The carriage fully retracted measures 9.5 inches. I think if you sliced of about 1/2 inch of fat it would work. I can also tell you that the last three inches of meat you want to slice...you can't. It just doesn't work. The weight of the piece that holds the meat tight against the blade is plastic. There is note nought weight to keep it from sliding around. Be sure your pork or meat is slightly frozen, it works better that way.

the blade seems to hold an edge, and is very quiet. My only complaint is that it is a pain in the butt to clean, meat seems to get everywhere.Hope this was of some help to you.Dean

I have sliced partially frozen meat and cheese with good success. I would not want to put that extra burden on the motor. It's not a professional machine. The cost reflects that it is for moderate home use and does very well.

Not in my estimation, I think you need a meat slicer. The right tool for the right job.

It will cut pretty thin if meat partially frozen an eighth of an inch or less really haven't measured. I love mine wish I had bought it years ago.
