- Today, I present my first deep dive product review of the "BESWOOD 10" Premium Chromium-plated Carbon Steel Blade Electric Deli Meat Cheese Food Slicer Commercial and for Home use 240W BESWOOD250" (as listed on Amazon).

I get into the contents of the box, identify the components, safety information, use the slicer by prepping the ingredients for three turkey sandwiches, and even cover cleaning. I also share my tips for preventing the carbon steel knife/blade from rusting. It's a long video, but there is a lot of useful information I wanted to share.
I've wanted a deli slicer for years! After seeing a video on CZcams about "The Oklahoma Onion Burger," I decided the time is now.
This commercial slicer listed for just less than $300, so I found it hard to pass up.

I did one thing that saved me a ton of cleaning time. I covered the exposed chassis with a good quality plastic wrap, front and back, as well as the work surface the slicer is on. I have a non slip counter so the plastic underneath doesn't move at all when the slicer is running. When your done cleaning and sanitizing the blade area carefully remove the plastic to the trash!
Great idea!!! I will try that.
I've used the plastic wrap method as well, it does speed up cleanup.
I bought a Beswood 220 for my father a little while ago, and its great. Very good quality blade and components. Zero run-out with the blade it spins true. Its quiet and does the job as it should, and easy to clean.
Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching.
Thank you for this GREAT detailed review. Best review I have seen yet. You didn't miss a thing. Answered all my questions. Appreciate the time you put into this video.
Glad it was helpful. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Great review. I bought this slicer a couple weeks ago and it works very much like the bigger commercial machines including the breaking down to clean process. I learned many years back you must continually pull out the sliced product while slicing meat, bread, cheese etc., as this slicer wants to pull cuts back into the turning blade as well.. Cheers!
Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching!!
@@hopewellsmit7819 Thanks for watching. I like the water bottle idea!
I'm looking forward to getting my Beswood 250. I bought it so I can slice my pork belly thin and shave corn beef. Nothing but meat on mine. I donated my cheapy to Goodwill and decided to get this one and it is very quiet. It was videos like yours that cause me to become impressed with the Beswood.
Sounds great! Thanks so much for watching!!!
I truly appreciate your thorough review. Thank you!
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching.
Lots of great data points on various slicing materials, techniques and thicknesses, as well as cleaning procedures. I have a Globe Chefmate C9, which is similar to yours, minus an inch on the blade. I may do a video similar to yours if there's any interest in seeing my particular slicer. Mineral oil is cheap and doesn't go rancid, but it's not food grade and gets sticky. This applies to the sliding/pivoting components as well. I bit the bullet on some H-1 food grade slicer lubricant and have never looked back. Saving money is a priority, but the time saved between maintenence intervals, peace of mind of food-grade, purpose made lubricants, and increasing the longevity of your equipment is definitely something to consider. Thanks for the video, I've watched it multiple times, and will definitely see it again.
Thanks for your thoughts! Thank you for watching!!
Just bought a Zenchef.. pretty much same slicer and now I get how everything works Thanks
Glad to help. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for the video. This is exactly what I wanted to see.
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for that very in depth and thorough review! The super thin cuts are just what I'm looking for, but the cleanup looks like it's a real bear.
Thanks for watching! Cleanup seems easier each time I do it. Weird. (grin)
You should use cut resistant gloves when cleaning the blade, and clean from the middle to the edge.
Agreed! Thanks for watching.
Love those free tape measures....thank you for your video
Me too!!! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for your review. So helpful, answered everything I needed. Like that you used sani tabs and the mineral oil.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
I only ordered this slicer because of your video. Thank you.
So glad to hear. You'll love it!! I use it commercially and it's doing great!
I just bought one of these and it's great. I am perplexed about the sharpening stones as it would seem to be the beveled edge of each stone would face and contact the blade, not the flat, cored out side.
Thanks for watching. It does seem strange.
needed this since i'm going to start working at a deli soon
Happy you liked it. Thanks for watching.!
When purchasing a slicer add a pair of cut proof gloves and an allen screwdriver of the correct size to make blade removal easier and less worrying.
Good idea. Thanks for watching!
Nicely done!! Thank you for all the great information.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!!!
I did try to buy this unit but it’s been OOS for some time I think it’s being replaced by the 9 inch, any hoo I did buy the
KWS-MS-10NS there identical but absolutely no one did a total review this was SPECTACULAR
REVIEW YOU DID EVERYTHING I
WANTED TO SEE IN A 10 in slicer
Very Well Done !
A really big thank you for doing this video. It’s perfect !!!
Thank you!! I'm working on another one this week on an "Air Oven." I hope you enjoy. Thanks for watching!!!
I asked Beswood about the availability of the slicer and they replied overnight (they are in Australia).
"Actually, all processing schedule has been delayed on Amazon warehouse due to the COVID-19.
The new inventory is on Amazon and still waiting for Amazon warehouse to check in. We believe that it will be available at Amazon very very soon."
These 2 slicers are what I recommend as the best inexpensive slicers. They each have factories in China, but warehouses in the US. KWS has their HQ in the US.
The Beswood has better fit & finish.
The KWS has better parts availability. And KWS sells other kitchen products.
The next step up is Berkel (factory in the US), then Hobart and Globe (expensive).
The key aspect is all of these have more power than needed to operate, so they don't slow down much when cutting difficult foods (soft cheeses like Muenster), and spareparts or repair services are available.
Hey bro liked your presentation I am going for the Velor 8" you opened up its usages which is awesome I know its not the same brand but you put forward a whole lot of options that will benefit me and the wife. My primary interest is I am going to do Pancetta.
Awesome, glad I could help. Thanks for watching!!!
This was so helpful. Thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching!!
Perfect video! Very in depth information! Just what I was looking for! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching Mother Fig.
@@DaveCooksBiz mine is supposed to come in today! I'm so excited!
@@motherfig3596 WOOHOO!!! We love ours! Making pastrami this week and plan to use it to make some awesome sandwiches.
I love this slicer so much!! I bought it primarily for cutting thin pieces of meats and cheeses. But from time to time, I'd like to use the 12mm however it won't move when I set it to anything above 10. Thought I'd ask you first before I contacted the company. Maybe there's a quick fix for that.
@@motherfig3596 Sounds like something is misaligned. I was able to cut the bread in this video with the gap opened all the way. Sorry for your trouble.
It look nice I was very excited so I decided to watch your video then when I saw you put it up on the table I saw a made in China. I really don’t want to buy anything anymore made in China. I was disappointed I have to keep looking till I can find something. You were very thorough in your video and enjoyed watching it I’ll have to check out some more of your content.
Thanks! Yeah, I made sure and kept that Made in China clip for those like you who are interested. Thank you for your kind comments. We have been moving across the country and opened a BBQ place so I haven't been posting much. I hope to start back soon.
Thinking of buying this one! Thanks for the thorough information!
Thanks for watching - glad I could help.
I have this same one. Very nice. Have sliced Home Made Bacon (using pork belly). As well as some other meats. I did buy some gloves to protect my hands from getting sliced open while cleaning the Very sharp blade.
I've used mine a few times since and still enjoy it. The gloves are a good idea... I will use mine next time. Fortunately, I've not cut myself handling the blade but would feel more confident with cut resistant gloves.
I'm looking at this same model in large part because I also like to do home made bacon. The problem I've been having is that many of the slicers don't have a deck that draws back far enough to slice a full width belly/bacon slab. How much drawback (from the back of the food deck fully pulled back to the edge of the blade) does this model have? I'm hoping to find something where that measurement is 8" or larger.
It's just not the same if you have to cut the slab in half and get mini/half slices. Thanks!
I don't think this one will get you a whole belly. It's currently packed for a big move so I can't measure the travel of the deck. I plan to do bacon in the future and will post those results. Happy hunting and thanks for watching.
@@DaveCooksBiz I've heard (but haven't tried) that if you fold the bacon in half you can get full sized pieces. I'll try this in a week or so when my bacon is cured and smoked.
@@allanphillips6995 Great idea!
Thanks for the product demonstration on different meats and cheeses without alot of blah blah blah!
Glad it was helpful! I felt like was too wordy but did my best to keep it as brief as possible. Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Yep bought it this is a game changer
Thanks for watching!
Thorough review. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching!
@@DaveCooksBiz Mine showed up yesterday :-)
@@Huggybear101 AWESOME!
I have a question for you on this. When the slicer tray is pulled all tue way toward you, what is the distance from back of slide tray to blade. In other words how wide of an item can I cut with it fitting on the tray?
very helpful thanks!
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching.
If I have thick cuts of meat or bread, I'm doing it by hand anyway. The reason I bought this slicer is because I can't do thin slicing consistently enough for really good jerky, cheese for sandwiches, etc.
Me too!! Thanks for watching!
Thx Dave for a very honest /detailed video on the performances of this machine.
I'd love to see a video on slicing potato chips but I'm pretty well sold on it as I've seen the cutting knife and close tolerances of the mechanical driver are very tight.
Some machines the blade is so thin and tolerances so laxed that it's like cutting a block of cheese with a butter knife, making for uneven cuts.
Been studing cheep to high end machines and this one is the high end of the middel of the road.
It looks like a perfect fit all-around including the budget.
Thx 4 your great video where others failed to touch on.
Thank you for your kind words and thoughtful response. We worked all day to film that and a couple of weeks to edit it. I'm getting better and faster in that regard. I have no complaints about the slicer except I wish I got one that sliced a but bigger... like 1.5 inches or so. That way I could slice my own steaks from sub-primals. That said, I'm pretty good with a knife. Thanks again!
have you thought of a mandolin for chips?
@@tonydensmore I have used a mandolin for chips of all sizes... even for thick-cut potatoes for au gratin. Just have to be careful.
@@DaveCooksBiz BTW, We bought a beswood 250 and love it. It's perfect for our needs.
@@tonydensmore AWESOME!!!
Great video, told me everything I wanted to know. The slicer does a wonderful job, but I'm too lazy to through that clean-up procedure every time I use it, and I know it's absolutely necessary to do. Thanks much.
Glad it was helpful! Yeah, cleaning is a pain but I don't mind.
yeah, i have one. im selling it because the cleanup takes forever. as much as being able to slice things thinly is great, its a 20 minute cleanup job every time i used the jolly thing. a sharp knife on the other hand rinses under a running tap in about 10 seconds and straight into the dishwasher.
@@waldopepper4069 just dont wash it lol, you're cooking the food anyways so who cares
@@waldopepper4069 Why put in dishwasher? Just rinse use soapy scrubby,rinse again & wipe dry. I have a dishwasher & use it just to dry my dishes. Dish washers do not wash anything they only sanitize.
new subscriber here. Looking for a meat slicer and found this video. Nice machine!
Thanks and welcome
Thank you for making this excellent video! Beswood should pay you 😀
Do you also lubricant the slide bar underneath after cleaning?
Hi! Thank you for watching and your kind comments. They included some oil to do just that. Since this was my first use, I did not. But I have since and just a few drops go a long way. Thanks again!
This is great!!!! The manual doesn't work for me. Thank you for doing this!!!
Happy to help! Thanks for watching!
Excellent video. I really appreciated how thoroughly you went over everything. You have helped me make my decision on a meat slicer. I noticed a comment up above about a water pik to help with cleaning, so you know or have you tried that to see if it works? Thanks again. ❤
Glad it was helpful! No I haven't tried the water pik trick. Thanks for watching!!!
You called the included brush a 'bottle brush'. It is not used for that. In the instructions you would have read where the brush is used to clean between the edge of knife and knife protective ring. At 25:21 it was funny to hear "....this has a really cool little knob. "Really cool" made me laugh. It's just a knob. A plain 'ol knob. The cleaning procedure was a lot more thorough than I would have done haha, though I would think, if you knew the blade was coming out, that you would wait until it's off to clean instead of the hassle cleaning it while installed, and maybe lay the slicer down to put the blade back in, minimizing the chance of the sharp edge acting like a guillotine if dropped accidentally. Lastly, if you're going to be that thorough on cleaning the slicer, it seemed a little out of place to ignore the instructions where it says to coat the pusher rod with a thin film of oil, that little bottle of oil you displayed at the beginning of the video. All in all an informative video, though following instructions would have made it legitimately better.
All good points. Thanks for watching.
Your video has convinced me to purchase this particular slicer. Very informative!! Would it not make more sense to disassemble first, then clean each part individually? The train of thought being, cleaning and rinsing as well as sanitizing would be more effective. Just a different perspective.
Glad it was helpful! Yes, I've used it and cleaned it your way and it does make sense! Thanks for watching and commenting!!
I came across this slicer on ebay for $125.00. So I got it. It was damaged but I was able to fix it. The slicer works great. Just wondering if the blade sharpener was supposed to be able to wobble side to side. Seems a bit sloppy.
I think so - it tightens up when you squeeze it together against the blade. Thanks for watching.
I would like to recommend that you buy yourself a pair of kevlar gloves for when you are handling that blade.
Great advice!!! (I did)
Dang. That cleaning is painful. You would think they would make the blade disassembly more practical. Nice video regardless. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!!
$318 USD + shipping from Australia.
My link amzn.to/3jLtBdl is showing $338 free prime shipping.
Try some nice Frozen ribeye steak. Sliced a real thin, to make steak and cheese subs. Mine's coming Thursday
Sounds great!
Dave, I hope you have gotten a LOT of use out of your slicer and beg you to come back and let us know how you feel about it two years later. This is in my cart, but one star reviews on Amazon are pretty discouraging -- poor materials (pig iron), difficult to clean, oxidation and chipping, start switch failure, and slice thickness control. Have you used yours much and do you still love it?
Hi Len, I have to say that I have not used it much since the video. Right after I filmed and posted that, I opened a restaurant 1,800 miles away in Florida. It's a BBQ restaurant and I don't get to use the slicer. In storage, it's holding up fine but to be honest, I have not been using it. Thanks for watching.
@@DaveCooksBiz Thanks for your reply. If you want someone to stress test it for a follow-up review, just let me know😇
@@lenmullen2139 THANKS LEN!
Great video, did you have to freeze the cheese at all?
Thanks!! No, I didn't freeze the cheese. I wanted to see how well it sliced it without freezing. In hindsight, that was the worst cheese we ever had. I think we took it back to the store. Thanks for watching!!!
HI , DO PUT ANY KIND OF OIL ON THE SLIDING BOTTOM ROD , AND IF SO , WHAT EXACLY WHAT DO YOU PUT , I HERD IT MUST
ALWAYS BE DONE . THANKS
I'm not sure if there is a place or you just wipe it on. Mine came with oil.
I almost never comment on videos. You’re getting the sub and the bell. I bought this same (almost) slicer from VEVOR, kind of like an Asian Aldi. I was mystified by the loose parts. I sliced sandwich parts like you and had some product fall behind the blade in a hard to reach area. My instructions said zero about the cleaning of the machine other than “clean it” in very broken english. After watching your work I now know that the adjustment on the back can be moved to prevent items from going behind the blade assembly. Now I see how easy it is to clean once I find the correct Allen wrench. I can see how easy it is to slice pickles and cabbage. I now like my machine but hate my ‘user manual’. I was thinking about returning it, now I see that it would have been a shame to do so. Thank you thank you Dave
Thank you Mr. Carmack! For the kind comments and for watching my video. Also for the sub and the bell!!! I'm glad I was able to help.
I just used mine for the first time. It's pretty bad that you need tools to disassemble it to get it truly clean. I haven't found a way to clean behind the knife without tearing it apart. Such a stupid design flaw. Don't know if I'll keep it, or send it back yet.
Yeah, it's kind of a pain.
Now you need a smoker to smoke some meats for the slicer. Imagine sliced smoked turkey breast for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Along with a smoked brisket. And a smoked boneless ham.
Funny, I've sold two smokers since I did that video. I need to buy another. Stay tuned! Thanks for watching.
Great video. Any Issues with the finish coming off? seen that in a few reviews on Amazon. Thanks
I've read about that too. I haven't been using the slicer due to a move from Tucson to Florida and opening a BBQ restaurant. Thanks for watching.
How do you sharpen it ??
There is a built in sharpener on the top. I have not used it but the instructions are in the booklet.
Great 👍🏻 Video !!!!!!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
How hard is it to remove the blade?
I take it off at 26 minutes in. czcams.com/video/RHwwh6jcOKM/video.html
Cleaning is a nightmare. Thanks for the review!
Yeah, it's a pain but I don't mind so much. Thanks for watching.
I use a denture cleaning brush for nooks and crannies. Can we eat the sandwiches now?
Yes you can! And that's a great idea!!!! Thanks for watching.
Damn dude, you didn't shave anything. I was waiting. Otherwise, great video
Sorry to disappoint. Thanks for watching!
Where did you get the meat ?
I can't remember.
How do like this slicer in the long run 2 years later?
We opened a BBQ restaurant in FL and don't get to use it much. Thanks for your interest!!!
PLease use safe operating behavior. Like a table saw. you do not slice bread from behind the blade///
Okay
Hi sir , how to put oil for beswood please.my machine make very noise.thank you so much
I'm not sure.
Is the tray large enough to slice bacon?
No, it's not wide enough for a full slice of pork belly.
自動連續切割不卡彈
我不確定你在說什麼。 感謝您觀看我關於切片器的視頻。amzn.to/3nsxeN6
Too much trouble, can do just as well with a good set of sharp knives. Thanks for the vid.
Thanks for watching!!
Where do I put the little bottle of oil it came with at?
I think it's for the slide.
would you buy 12" or too big for home use ?
I like this size but would be interested in one that had a thicker cut... say 1.5" thick.
Yes the 12 in is a bit over kill for home use as the 10 in is a commercial level slicer. But if you intend very heavy use then the 12 or 14 will be your better bet .
The 10 in really is the perfect size for home/medium level commercial slicer. I started with a commercial grade 6 in for home it did everything I wanted but it was a bit small so I did buy the
KWS MS-10NS (NS=SS )
$339 Amazon and it’s great .
The Beswood250 has been out of stock for a long time though Amazon and Beswood site that’s why I went with KWS.
How do you like it a year later?
Funny, since I posted that video, we moved across the country to open a BBQ place. Haven't used it much.
in my youth I found myself working in a FF Restaurant, part of my job as a SOC was food prep
The owner blasted me for slicing onions with the automatic meat slicer.
Stating the liquid of the onion will destroy / damage the blade.
You know 19 year old's. Always trying to cut corners haha yeah we lazy as . . . well, you know.
Just wondering as I am watching this video thinking of that short little Jewish restaurant man that lost his mind all over me for slicing onions with the automatic meat slicer.
I think if you clean it properly, it's no problem. I have been instructed by a chef (at a swanky resort) to slice onions (and tomatoes) on a slicer for burgers to ensure every onion was exactly the same thickness. I guess a $16 burger deserves the extra effort. (grin)
The cleaning part throws the "convenience" part out of it. I think I'll just try to get better at using a knife that'll take me 10 seconds to wash. Unless you're going to do a LOT of cutting *OFTEN* this makes things more complicated.
I bought this for precision cutting. I have decent knife skills earned in commercial kitchens. It was a normal day for me to hand cut 5 gallons of pico de gallo. I got this for larger projects or projects that require super thin slices precisely done. It's an indulgence to be sure. Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting!
All that cleaning to make a sandwich 🥪😅. I think I would finish making and eating my sandwich by the time that thing is clean. 😂
I agree, the sandwiches were mostly for the video.
I just got an epiphany. What if you use a waterpik (dedicated to only washing) and fill it with anti-bacterial dish detergent to "floss" the hard to reach nooks and crannies? Then run it the second time with the sanitizer.
You're a genius!!! Great idea!
@@DaveCooksBiz Let us know if it works.
@@twalrus1 ok
You’re using the wrong blade to cut bread 🍞 it should be a serrated blade, not flat, you’ll only dull it.
I don't have one and wanted to give it a try. Thanks for watching.
Great video if you cater, i'll stick with my knives.
In many ways, I agree. I used the slicer yesterday to slice 20 portions of smoked ham to be vacuum sealed and frozen for future use. The precision is worth the clean up to me. And yes, it took longer to clean the slicer than to cut the ham. (grin) Thanks for watching and thank you for commenting.
You know, Beswood makes it possible for you to REMOVE the blade for proper cleaning.
Yes, I show that in the video.
@@DaveCooksBiz Yes, you did. At the very end of the cleaning process. When you should have pulled the blade first, then the sliding table and then started the cleaning. I clean these things regularly and the way you did it amateur hour. Still, it was interesting video in spite of being tedious.
@@pakviroti3616 Thanks... I was trying to show that even if you try to clean it well with the blade on, you will miss some and taking the blade off is necessary. Thanks for watching.
Music is VERY annoying
👎🏻
Sorry.
✨💯✨👍
👍
You really shouldn't talk with food in your mouth.😂
I know... right? Thanks for watching.
Kind of a Globe Chefmate clone.
I agree
