Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Toastmaster 6128 Food Slicer
Customer Review: A good machine once it's modified
Summary: 3 Stars
The Toastmaster Food Slicer is a solid, well-built machine that slices well. I didn't like the safety-feature built into the power switch, which requires constant use of one hand to keep the power on, leaving only your one other hand to hold the food you're slicing, which is very inconvenient and could be a safety hazard; so the manufacturer's safety feature is somewhat self-defeating. I modified the machine to disable the safety feature, which yielded a machine whose performance I am very satisfied with.
Description of Toastmaster 6128 Food Slicer
Cast-aluminum, 90-watt slicer with 6-1/2-inch-diameter stainless-steel blade. Knob adjusts for thickness: wafer-thin to extra thick. Safety button must be pressed continuously during operation. 9-by-8-1/4-inch transparent plastic serving tray included. Blade and other parts remove for hand washing.Adjustable for slicing cheese, sandwich meats, roast beef, bacon, bread, and vegetables like tomatoes and zucchini from wafer-thin to extra-thick, this compact, 90-watt electric appliance makes it possible to slice unlimited quantities of food quickly, safely, and uniformly. For safety, the slicer requires two hands to operate, one pushing food into the 6-1/2-inch stainless-steel blade by means of a sliding platform and the other continuously pressing a button so the blade operates. The sliding platform has a guard to prevent hands from getting close to the blade and a rail for grasping and pushing. A transparent plastic food press attaches to the feeder's rail with a hook. Grasping that hook and the rail simultaneously allows one-hand operation while also pressing food toward the blade. The food press's face is covered with points that grip food securely.
Included with the unit is a 9-by-8-1/4-inch transparent plastic serving tray. The sliding platform, food press, and blade remove for hand washing. Ruggedly constructed of cast aluminum, the slicer measures 13-1/2 inches wide, 9-1/4 inches high, and 8-1/2 inches deep and carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack
