Side by Side Comparison of: VonShef vs Chef's Choice

Only used it a few times so far, no issues. I've only cut meat so far, excited to try more! Easy to set up, use, break down, and clean!

order processed quickly and it was delivered in excellent condition. The slicer is just as described and it performs very well.

accurate description fast delivery

Great little slicer perfect for home use.

great product and delivery before the date given. thank you

Bread anyway you want . The device is working properly and is of a generally very good quality . Replacing the various knife works fine . Very recommendable product that I would buy in Germany .

The slicer came with a serrated blade, but I'm mostly using it for ham and bread so bought this non-serrated blade. It's very sharp, fairly easy to clean and cuts really, really well. I'm very happy with it. I bought a nice ham from Costo and sliced it pretty thin, I think it was on the second click on the thickness knob. Cut the ham much quicker than I expected, pretty much as fast as I cared to push the slicer. I thought I'd have to go slow but, it worked great going pretty fast.

Just what I needed for thin-slicing my homemade bacon. I recommend getting a pair of knife proof safety gloves for handling the blade when changing blades and cleaning the blade. It's razor sharp!

This is the blade that should have been included with the Chef's Choice slicer rather than sold separately. It works great considering the machine doesn't consistently allow for a cut through the entire piece of meat and leaves a portion dangling precariously between the very sharp blade and the carriage.

Bought this to go with my Chef's Choice 615 Premium Electric Food Slicer for slicing meats, as the slicer comes with a serrated blade. Very useful, easy to mount, and very sharp. I would definitely buy again.

I bought the 615 because I was in the process of making some homemade bacon and needed a way to slice it thin enough (the wifey doesn't like thick bacon like I do). I had the slicer set to the second line on thickness setting and was getting perfect slices of bacon with this blade. It sliced effortlessly and quickly and I didn't have a single slice of bacon mess up. I will use this on the next brisket I do as well. If you have one of these slicers and want to do meat, you need to spend the $20 for this blade!

This blade is made well and works great.It should also be noted that this blade (although not mentioned) is 100% compatable with the Chief's Choice Model 615 Food Slicer.

Used the slicer once, slicer preformed as expected. It is awkward to clean.

Good machine that is very reliable and does even cuts consistently. The only thing I didn't care for was the fact that the measurements are in metric.

Cuts brisket very good. Clean up is a bit challenging. I wish you were able to take it apart more to clean.

it works good.

A nice slicer, Would probably work better if meat is very very cold. Thank you.

Nice looking product. With three different blades should do all that I need it for. Seems easy to clean and use.

Works well though the blade was not manufactured well. I have issues that this blade is not standard on the food slicer. Anyways it slices my homemade bacon no problem.

Gift with electric slicer. No complaints.

Nice. Sharp good quality

Works good. Very sharp.

This blade was supposed to allow me to cut "softer" (i.e. non partially frozen) foods/meats on the slicer however even it doesnt cut well. The edge was sharp, but not scary sharp like a meat slicer should be. I used my diamond stones to put a wicked edge on it. Maybe once I figure out the right consistency to rpm speed that the slicer produces it will work effectively.

I'm glad I bought this blade as a companion to my slicer. It is helpful. Not everything slices as easy as turkey breast. This is great for ham and roast beef. I have less blade drag using this. I get thinner results!

Its okay, works fine, but the meat rides on the blade and this tends to distort the cut

I did buy this slicer to slice bread. The problem is that it isn't good (like I might have known upfront) in slicing warm bread. The warm bread sticks to the blade and prevents it from cutting the bread nicely. I probably need to wait longer.I did slice some meat with it and that worked perfectly well. I think it's a good product, but it didn't meet my (to high?) expectations on slicing fresh baked bread in the morning

this is not very good at cutting frozen or thin thin cuts the thickness gauge moves on its own. if you try to cut something thick it will stress the motor

I purchased it to primarily to cut my home made rye bread.Too light weight, It does not stay put when I cut the bread, I have to hold cutter in place with my left hand, which is difficult because there is not really a good place to hang onto. Seems to have a hard time to cut, noisy.

Kind of hard to use slicing meats..the guard doesn't protect your hand

I use it for sheered cabbage and lettuce and work OK.I would like that will more fast and sturdy but is OK for the price.

Cuts good but does not shave!

It is exactly what it says it is. It could be slightly bigger but that would cost a few more $$$ for the machine itself.

as expected and on time

Not as good as I expected but does the job

The plastic grommet that is riveted to the center of the blade stands a bit proud on the front side of my blade. I noticed small bits of meat tends to get between the blade and the grommet on the front side. I sliced about 10 pounds of shaved steak on setting 1 this weekend, partially frozen beef. When cleaning the blade I noticed on the back side what I believe to be meat that has gotten in between the plastic gear and the blade on the back side of the blade. I point to the 3 dark spots in the video where I think the blade is not tight to the gear disk and meat has gotten in. The only way to prove this and clean it is to destroy the blade. I checked my serrated blade and the gear disk seems to be tighter to the blade and the plastic grommet is flush with the blade on the front side. I'm thinking of asking for a return and exchange, but if this happens it is a huge issue with keeping the blade clean and sanitary, check your blades!Update 7/20/14. I spray my blades with food safe silicone, wrap them in paper towels and store in a plastic bag. One week after writing the above review I opened the blade to see how it was doing and I can confirm without a doubt that it is meat trapped between the blade and disc on the back. It is now rotten meat, almost knocked me over when opening the bag. Not sure how to fix this, I've ordered another blade and may try to seal the front side "grommet" with food safe silicone? Unfortunately I can't get a refund on this blade, not very happy

Well I can't give an honest review of this blade as I returned it with Amazon's no hassle return policy. I never used it, but I can tell you this the Chef's choice slicer I bought was only fair at best. I sliced a big pork loin with it and it was nice and chilled and the slicer for the most part did terrible. It mostly tore the meat and sliced it unevenly. Chef's choice has a good return policy and I returned the slicer.

Very disappointed. Nothing cuts completely thru. Leaves very bottom connected and sometimes binds up. Sliding tray is very hard to use. No place for sliced items to go, have to hand move every piece or items will bind up at bottom of blade. Will be returning.

Very noisy. Only one blade mounts good. Other two fit too tight and rub make machine work to hard to spin blades. Not sure if going to keep.

Squeals, loud, no speed control? Still works won't recommend

was not easy to handle

Will not cut meat well I would not endorse unit, blade to slow and slides over meat. This will have 1/4 inch on bottom not cut. Cheese slicing is ok.

The meat falls all over the machine.

he blade is fine, cutter, not so much

Not the results I was expecting.

I don't use this blade that much but despite all the care. it rusted and now after cleaning it is stained. I doubt this blade is good stainless steel

it shreds the meat more, i don't care for it at all

better material would make a better edge... not sharp at all, does not hold a new edge for long.

Useless; stick with the serrated blade. I got this because I was used to a commercial-quality slicer with a non-serrated blade, but with the machine's weak motor, I've yet to find a single thing this blade can cut capably.

I bought it to slice breadIt is terrible and I .might return itIt sqeeks and no amount of lubrication will stop it.I am afraid the motor will burn out.This happens as soon as I turn it on.

The blade screeched when it was in use and the moving bed did not move smoothly

Fell apart after 5 uses. The gears stripped and we threw it out. Waste of money. Bought another, a good one. Cheaply made

Used it one time when we first got it and it worked great. Tried to use it today and the blade you barely turn.

I've used the slicer 20 times and it just quit working the gears are stripped on the motor. It worked okay for a little while but the motor is weak. But not as weak as the gears.

I have used it twice for cutting ham and the rotor, which moves the blade, is stuck and not working anymore. Low quality product. Not reliable at all. If you have other alternative, don't buy this product.

Essentially no difference between this and the serated one that came with it.

Just bought this blade to go with our slicer at the end of January 2017. It states that it's stainless steel, we've used it 2 times and there is rust on it! Buyers beware!

There is no arm to keep what you cutting straight. Started with cheese cut fine but when i moved the slide back to cut another piece the cheese turned so i had manually move the cheese back to cut again. so on so forth. Same thing with summer sausage. They need go back to the drawing board.

It was suppose to be 7.5 inch blade and it is a 6.5 inch. I can't even use it.

I was not able to keep the blade because the slicer I ordered with it turned out to be much less than advertised. I am looking for a slicer with stainless parts that touch the food being sliced.

This blade broke my chefs choice 610 meat slicer.... I put it on correctly and the first time I used I tried to take it off and it like fused it self to the slicer to the point I could not remove to clean it... it got stuck on the center piece and wouldn't come off ...... I finally got it of and had to break the white piece out of the center of it....
