yeahhh that's exactly what i found every time i looked. the reviews on slicers suck until you get up into the big digits.

i'll continue to just pine for one. I would use it a lot but that much cash could replace my whole kitchen!

I never thought of trying to find a used one 🤔

If you keep an eye out for restaurants and such going out of business, you might be able to pick one up for pretty cheap, around me a lot of them seem to go to auction sites like hibid for liquidation

And of course weird things turn up on Facebook marketplace, Craigslist, etc. from time to time.

I suspect some of the newer slicers probably weigh less it looks like they're mostly stainless sheet metal these days, but mine is made of some pretty massive solid metal castings and probably weighs close to 100lbs, so if you track one down like mine probably plan on bringing a friend to help move it. I can muscle it around to clean it and such, but I wouldn't really want to carry it to or from my car, or up or down the stairs by myself.
