Max. thickness of slice

The greatest thickness of the slices that the slicer can separate from the cut product.

The modern slicers usually allow you to adjust the thickness of the slices — an important feature in light of the fact that for different situations and products, the optimal thickness will be different. The ability to separate thick slices can be useful, for example, when cutting bread, or when preparing fruit for jam or compote. Such situations are not uncommon, therefore, in most modern slicers, the maximum thickness is more than 10 mm.

Protection from accidental activation

The presence of protection from accidental activation in the design of the slicer.

One of the most popular options for such protection is the use of two power buttons: in order for the knife to move, you need to hold down both. This format of work minimizes the chance of accidental start — for example, if you touch the button while correcting the cut product in the immediate near the blades. In addition, this function can also play the role of child lock: the buttons are often made quite tight so that only an adult can press them.

Holder with finger protector

The presence of protection for fingers in the design of the holder for cut products installed in the slicer.

In appearance, such holders can vary markedly, but their design is based on one general principle: if used correctly, the chance of the operator's fingers getting under the knife (with the corresponding injuries) is practically eliminated. It is not difficult to provide protection for fingers, and the cost of this function is incomparable with the benefits of it; therefore, it is found in the vast majority of modern slicers, regardless of the price category.
