LEM Big Bite
Score: 81/100Rankings
The Breville BFP660SIL Sous Chef 12-cup processor offers a robust 1000 W motor, extensive slicing options and multiple feed chutes, making it versatile for everyday meal prep. Its motor-wattage labeling and limited nut-processing capacity can be frustrating for power-focused users. Ideal for home cooks who value flexibility and long-term warranty support.
The LEM Big Bite 8.5" Meat Slicer is a commercial-grade, semi-automatic slicer offering precise thickness control and durable construction. Its short 30-minute run time, heavy weight and inability to handle frozen items limit continuous, versatile use. Best for chefs, hunters and enthusiasts needing deli-thin slices of boneless meats, cheeses or breads.
