KWS vs Beswood 10" Meat Slicer

KWS 10" Meat Slicer: amzn.to/3tA4you
Beswood 10" Meat Slicer: amzn.to/48kr4RL
The two premium restaurant quality meat slicers are very similar in price and quality but there are subtle difference. The Beswood is different in that is uses a Chromium-plated steel blade with a 240W motor. The KWS uses a stainless steel blade with a 320W motor. On paper, you might be temped to get the KWS but the Beswood actually has slightly better build quality, the Chrome blade is very sharp and more non-stick than stainless steel. AND, these motors are extremely over powered and I was not even reaching 50% of the rated power by jamming the meat into the meat cutter.
Hence, it has plenty of power as a 240W product and you'll only need so much torque in very rare cases. This case I have yet to experience.

This was the exact comparison I was looking for! Thanks! Going to watch your shabu vid later. Cheers and happy holidays!

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

Glad it was helpful! Yeah, someone asked for this comparison some time ago. But now... yes, I bought the KWS to do this video.

[@camperannihilator4875]

i was surprised you did a power consumption comparison . so many appreciated details in such a short video. keep it up.

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

Glad you liked it! No idea who would even get up to 200W. Therefore anything over might be overkill. Unless you are slicing very hard dried stuff?

[@aaronbredon2948]

@BeatTheBushDIY you pulled close to 120W on only a moderately hard job. A really hard job, like a very soft, sticky cheese (Muenster is the Deli worker's nightmare) could possibly double that to 240W. But most likely you would max out at 200W And you do not want to come close to the maximum HP the motor provides, so you want a 20% buffer. That means 240W to 288W should be OK. The 320W ⅓HP motor can theoretically handle longer peak usage than the ¼HP 240W motor. But in practice, there won't be a massive difference. Note that a stainless steel blade might require more power to cut softer cheeses, as the Chromium and Teflon-coated blades are closer to nonstick. So, in practice, the motor isn't a major factor in deciding.

[@Michael-oe6nm]

This is such a high quality comparison, I will happily use your referral links for Amazon. Thank you for the quality content

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

Awesome, thank you!

[@JoeAnshien]

Nice comparison. Thank You.

[@mrhocuspocus]

thanks for the comparison, exactly what I was looking for! BTW you can adjust how close the meat carriage is to the slicer so you can cut more meat. Theres two bolts under it you can use to adjust. Obviously use extreme care when doing this as its not easy to align it and you dont want the carriage running into the blade. I did this on my beswwod with good results.

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

I'll have to take a closer look at that to do the same! Thanks for the tip!

[@CreativeTrish]

Thanks for taking the time to make this❣️ it’s come down to these 2 machines for us. The bigger plastic back plate & the fitted plastic gasket makes the Beswood a nicer fit.

[@Kmart24000]

Great Job!!!

[@tooslow4you641]

I initially opted for the KWS. It showed up with a few of the cheap, pot metal brackets broken. I went with the Beswood the second time around. Should be here tomorrow. Thanks for the thorough review.

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

Thanks! I use mine SO MUCH. Love it.

[@Savsal12]

But doesn’t the beswood have less power? I ask because after I ordered the bed wood I noticed the kws is 320watts vs the 240watts for the beswood.

[@nickelsworth7097]

​@@Savsal12if you actually WATCH the video he takes the time to show that neither machine uses more than like 120w during cutting.

[@denismecteau5541]

Merci beaucoup, ça me donne une très bonne idée pour évaluer la mienne.

[@desertfox3860]

Well done!

[@supafly136]

superb

[@4rdzlla]

I'm wondering about the vevor which looks identical to the meatyourmaker slicer. Also can a slab of pork belly be cut without cutting it down width

[@senatorjuke]

Thanks for the comparison. I’ll use your affiliate link. Cheers

[@aaronbredon2948]

There are a lot more spare parts available for the KWS. Bend your slider bar? KWS actually sells replacements. On/off switch, power cord, belt pulleys, and even the motor can be replaced by the owner. And you can buy a blade removal tool and compatible blade to make removing the blade for cleaning easier. So it comes down to fit&finish versus repairability.

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

You have a point. Having some access to spare parts is nice.

[@aaronbredon2948]

@BeatTheBushDIY and even with that, these 2 slicers are neck-and-neck. They are the best affordable slicers in their market segment, and any decision between them is personal preference as much as anything else. If someone gets a great deal on a Berkel, Hobart or Globe, those are strictly better, but if you are buying new, these are the 2 slicers that dominate the market. Although, if someone is also in the market for a bone saw, meat grinder, or Convection Oven, KWS also sells those, and dealing with one company rather than several might be preferable. This wider range of products might also mean the company lasts longer (although that is not guaranteed).

[@jamesreade6404]

what cut of meat is that

[@JohnC-kc5uh]

To finish cutting all the meat, add slices of bread at the end of your slicing

[@BBBYpsi]

Which one is easier to clean? Also would like a comparison of the Vevor vs the Beswood

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

Both is exactly the same in cleaning. I do not have the Vevor but will look into it if I get enough requests.

[@scottramsdell5671]

Are these able to be run on 110 power outlets?

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

Yes, these are 110V machines.

[@queenvsev4800]

Which one cuts frozen meat not just thawed better and unfrozen meat?

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

Both

[@daveborchard2019]

We we’re thinking about buying a cheaper electric meat cutter than the Beswood for about $100. I know that you are very frugal sometimes. How much better is the Beswood than the cheaper electric meat cutters that are around $100, about one third of the price? Do you get a lot more quality build paying about $350 instead of about $100?

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

Yes. The cheaper $100 ones doesn't cut with uniform thickness. You can fudge it and try to make it work but it also doesn't do well cutting completely frozen meat. I had to defrost it slightly for those and they are much louder when cutting. Seeing the cheap machine being used so much, I went with the Beswood and have been extremely happy with it. There is also speed. I can cut 3-4x faster with this one.

[@sydneybird116]

My Harbor Freight meat slicer slows way down cutting frozen meat. After three slices I knew that I was going to burn out the motor. Even smelled the motor struggling. Looking at this or a manual frozen meat slicer.

[@aaronbredon2948]

The cheap machines have less effective blades (needing more power to cut), and motors that top out around 120W (no safety margin). And many of them flex while cutting and have only plastic guards (which means an uncomfortably high risk of getting cut accidentally). You will go through around 6 of them (and quite a few blade replacements) before you even approach the end of life of the blade of the KWS or Beswood, let alone any other parts. And the 240W or 320W motors with belt drive in the KWS and Beswood have a very high safety margin. Plus if there is too much of a load on the blade, the belt will slip or break, stopping the blade, but saving the motor. And a belt is a cheap replacement part.

[@daysoff4ever]

Thank you for honest review. I am looking to buy slicer. It seems all that 240w vs 320w is a joke. They only cut at about 100w. So great video.

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

Unless you try cutting... wood? I mean, it would only use 100W even cutting rock solid frozen meat.

[@chrishall1407]

Does the kws leave 1/4 inch waste as well?

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

Yes, but both can get down to about 1/8" waste with some adjustments.

[@chrishall1407]

@@BeatTheBushDIY thanks for the quick reply. I just can't find a reason to choose the kws over the beswood then. Thanks for, literally, the review I've waited on for years!

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

You did? Lol. It took several months after an initial request for this comparison but I do keep tabs on the requests.

[@chrishall1407]

@@BeatTheBushDIY oh no, I didn't mean I was waiting on you specifically. I just found your channel and subscribed after finding this video.

[@Savsal12]

So I can cut a large piece of frozen meat straight out of the freezer no problem?

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

Depends on how frozen. If it's rock solid, it still can cut it but slower. If you defrost it every so slightly, it makes cutting much faster.

[@ohmslawone5939]

will either one cut Cheez?

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

It's the harder stuff you wonder if it'll cut. Cheese is no problem.

[@aaronbredon2948]

Most cheeses shouldn't be a problem. Muenster, however, could require more power - it is too soft, and gives trouble to even the commercial slicers. The KWS Teflon coated blade or the Beswood Chromium blade (both extra cost options) will do better here. That a soft cheese causes more problems seems counter intuitive, but Muenster likes to stick to the blade, and it pulls on the blade with a rubbery give, where frozen meat does not - frozen meat does not continue to exert force behind the cut edge.

[@robertliddell2333]

What a shameless commercial!
