Austin If you were choosing between the Weston 7.5" and Weston 9" slicer which would you choose and why?

Tex_77 bigger is better! No matter the hobbies or business’ I’ve been involved with it always seems that you outgrow space or equipment simultaneously. Why make 5 gallons of beer when it takes the same time and effort to make 15?
Joe Hell I agree completely with your reasoning. What I am struggling to understand is why does the smaller slicer have a larger motor in it?

Tex_77 I have the Weston 9 in slicer and I am happy with it. However I should say that I don’t use it a lot, but for what I use it for it works great.

Tex_77 me myself id go with a 12", if money is an issue then 9". Also look for an angled blade vs. up and down. You will get much better cuts

The larger slicer might have a different drive system that needs less power
-
Jonathon Do you know why the 7in slicer has a larger motor then the 9in slicer?
-
Tex_77 Honestly, I have no idea. In fact, I went to double-check cause I assume I had written the description incorrectly but nope, the 7.5" has 200 watt and the 9" has a 150 watt. Seem counterintuitive but it is a fact!

Jonathon Sounds like you need to test them out to see which one is best then!

Tex_77 My cabinets runuth over with “tested” equipment!

Jonathon well if you need to make room, make me a deal!

@s-a-m or anyone else, remind me during the next livestream to bring this up to Austin. That might actually make for a fun giveaway(s)

Well I got the Weston 9in slicer for Christmas and I must say it’s a big step up from the old one I had from the 60’s or 70’s. The slices were clean and thickness stayed consistent and could do deli thin slices! My only complaint would be, it feels like it’s made for a left handed person.

craigrice I think mine was 2 generations old, and the plastic on it was starting to get brittle and break. It was well past time for an upgrade.
