It is a heavy unit and there are no designated lifting areas to make it safer and easier. A call to LEM customer service cured that problem and four days later I was able to attach the safety guard. Upon inspection I found that two nuts and washers needed to attach the clear plastic safety guard were missing. I received it via "drop ship" from LEM very quickly and it was packed well and received undamaged. You can see my video of this item here -> Thank you for taking the time to see my video and read my review of this item!įirst I want to identify this product as the LEM 8.5 inch Big Bite Meat Slicer Model # 8511 so there is no confusion. I give it 5 stars and I do recommend this item. Overall I am 100% happy with my purchase, the design, construction and performance of this slicer. I haven't needed to sharpen the blade but for the purpose of my review I sharpened it and It was quick, easy and did an awesome job of sharpening the blade. Cleaning is quick once you clean it a time or two. This blade is VERY SHARP! BE CAREFUL! So far after about 14 hours of use the belt has stayed on with no slipping. As for slicing, this has performed like a champ. The feet can also be used to level this slicer on uneven surfaces. The non-slip rubber feet do a great job keeping this slicer in one spot. The removable food tray is great for larger items. The hand grips are nice and the thickness dial is stiff (I like that) but not hard to turn unless your hand is greasy. The instructions are clear, easy to read and follow. The main reasons I chose this one was the price, the belt driven 1/4 HP air cooled motor with overheat protection, the 532 RPM (rotations per minute), the built in blade sharpener, the sanitary cover on the on/off switch, 5 year warranty and the fact that it disassembles without tools for cleaning. I am so happy I chose to purchase this LEM BIG BITE food slicer model # 1185.
