Is this slicer easy to use and clean?

I would say very easy to clean although I'm careful with it because of the sharp v blade. It's a great product

I will have to look at the specs to answer your question. However if you are looking for a new slicer, look no further. I will sell you mine. I have never used it, it is brand new. If you are interested I'm sure that we can make a good deal. Contact me@ yozjeff@aol.com.

All parts of the unit are made of a hard plastic with the exception of the cutting blade which is metal. It makes quick, easy slices -- but not in the paper-thin slices that I prefer.

I have had mine for many years and it still works like a charm. After I am almost to the bottom of the pineapple, I pull the slicer up a bit and then cut the bottom of the pineapple off. I have always washed mine by hand. And while I don't use it everyday, it gets used at least once a month.

Yes. It is easy to clean and you can put the blades and blade attachment in water. You have to be very careful about the plastic tabs that hold the blade housing to the multi-blade component. They are very weak and break easily. Once they break, the blades can fall off during use. It is my biggest complaint about the product. The design is very poor. I clean mine a couple of times a week but did have to purchase extra blades which are $16 a pop.

This is a great slicer!!! BUT you have to be extremely careful with the blade... super, super sharp!!! The blade cover must be removed first - easily done by unscrewing the knob directly behind the blade. Using a phillips screw driver, remove the three screws that hold the blade in place. Keep one hand on the blade as you do this, to prevent it from moving. This is the tricky part... you have to push the blade from behind to pop out and then carefully maneuver it out from under the edges. Never leave the blade unscrewed and unattended!!!

I use it on strawberries all the time. I love this slicer. It is easier to clean than the old school slicers that have wire. They break and rust- this just needs a quick rinse and you're done.

I really cannot say if it is or not. I do know it is used in commercial situations. It is all stainless and as with all slicers requires someone to break them down to clean/sanitize to meet Food Sanitation Rules. I would just google the company and ask them, then you would have a secure answer. When you find out post the answer. BTY this is heavy duty piece of equipment as far as we are concerned.

I'm sorry, I don't know for sure. I am still using and enjoying this slicer.

I think nightmare is an overstatement. However it is not simple. I remove the carrier, blade guard and blade and have had no trouble cleaning the slicer. Removal of the parts is straightforward. The most difficult is removal of the blade which is attached with 3 Phillips head screws. You need to be careful because the blade is very sharp. The whole process take 15 to 20 minutes.

Very easy to clean mostly because it's electrical and therefore must be sort of, kind of, almost waterproof so you can basically spray it off with a hose. I didn't have any problem with the blade.

Its easy to clean, well I throw it all in the dishwasher, but washing by hand shouldnt be hard. The bottom unscrews and the blade piece has a rubber part that helps the whole thing seal tight.

The easiest and fastest thing to do on this slicer is bread. It works great!

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.

Our staff has no problem with the cleaning our 10-inch LEM Slicer. It is very generic. Take all removable parts off easily. Clean each separately. Use extra caution removing the blade for obvious reasons. Once all is clean and sanitized replace as required. It is not hard to do unless you are just simply lazy and don't want to be bothered! Its all about owning equipment & taking care of it properly.

Dear Crystal M. Of course it is! However as a user and lover of the product first (and not pers as a seller) even though it's dishwasher safe, I would recommend you to use one of the two brushes to clean the blades before you put it into the dishwasher. From my own experience this takes about 10 seconds and you just want to be sure nothings stays stuck between the blades due to hygienic reasons. My first spiral slicer had no brush, or whatsoever. And when I tried to use it the second time, I saw all this old vegetable parts between the blades which started to mold. Very unappetising. I hope this answers your question. You get two free brushes to make sure this will not happen to you. Kind regards, All Times Finest

It's not ver difficult to clear at all. But just like any slicer it does take a bit of time. After the first couple of times it now takes me about 10 min to disassemble the slicer, clean the various parts and reassemble.
