What is this slicer made of?

It appears to be a heavy plastic w/metal cutters. I love this slicer! Made an Apple pie in minutes!

It's plastic around the outside and some kind of metal for the blades. I don't know exactly what kind but it is not rusting if that's what you're worried about. I love those smaller bite size pieces - use it all the time. :-)

I don't know what the previous person has but the one sent to me is definitely a handle and a slicer- one jammed into the other. That is not cast together.

I haven't use the slicer yet, so I cannot answer that question. But what a great idea!

I'm not sure. This slicer is a piece of junk and mine broke before it was a year old.

It seems to be a nylon type fabric. The tool works very well I purchased this for a family member. I already had one

It's exterior is made up of plastic; however, its interior moving parts, i.e. blade and canister, are made of steel. Good quality juicer for its price. I've used for over 6 yrs only having to replace the blade once.

It is Hard Plastic with a very sharp blade. I can easily cut oblong pills into forths if needed. Hope this helps.

It is made by ; Commercial bargains inc. As far as the quality,well,I can't make a comparison.This is the first meat slicer I've ever owned,however,the quality of this slicer is very good.With a 10" blade,not as large as the ones u see at a deli.It will cleanly slice all of your cold cuts,slicing cheese seems to be more difficult.Must fully clean machine after each use,I highly recommend you remove the blade to clean meat shavings in the rear.With some TLC,this is a great machine.

Darlene, I love this slicer. It is durable and works great. In fact, my sister is borrowing it. I bought it with a coupon so that helped but honestly it seems it will last a lifetime. Good luck!

Plastic and metal ... But it's a fairly sturdy plastic (that being said I wouldn't try to stand on it or anything). The plastic isn't likely to crack if you are just using normal pressure to slice or dice (now if you have a tendency to turn green and 'hulk' out ... all bets are off). The blades themselves are sharp. I am wondering though how I am going to sharpen those blades eventually, because all sharp thing get dull after a while.

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.

Aloha. The frame, Slide and motor housing is made of heavy Aluminum just like all commercial slicers. I first start cutting meat at a deli in New York as a kid in the 50's. I had alway said to myself "why does the slicer have to be so BIG" ? Well, this 10" slicer was the answer I had looked for, for over 50 years in the food industry. Good Luck and Happy Slicing.

The blade and the motor are, of course, metal. The rest is plastic. It is very sturdy. We have been using it for about 6 months now for frozen smoothies (very thick ones) and it hasn't let us down. Works like a charm every time.

The slicer comes fully assembled. Take the dementions of the slicer and add 5 in to it. Its s good size box and its incased in Styrofoam. Don't remember exact size if box sorry.

According to the box, the coring and slicing blades are made of stainless steel. The shaft is carbon steel with chrome plating and the body of the machine is cast aluminum. The black handle is a durable plastic. I am very happy with mine as it is so easy to slice apples for drying with or without peeling. No machine gets every core completely so occasionally you have to trim a small part of the core that was left. Still beats hand peeling and coring. I very happy with mine.
