I had already had a slicer "entry level" there are so few years the design left much to be desired (a single bond notched plastic was the connection between the engine and blade slicer and this had given up the ghost after a few weeks.
Here, even if the slicer is plastic, a real effort has been conceded at the engine block.
I achieved my thin slices of meat (to the fine must freeze the meat 1 hour before), and also making sausages or ham cuts without any problems.
It is foldable in two, it's a great idea because once she takes up very little space. I recommend this model without problems for occasional use!
