The Techwood is the biggest blade in my meat slicer guide at 9 inches, and at $120.35 it costs almost nothing extra to get there — thirty cents more than the cheapest machine on the list. A single stainless blade, a 200W motor and an aluminum body are what you get for it.
It rates 4.3 stars from 1,149 reviews, the smallest sample of any machine in the guide by a wide margin — the next-smallest carries well over 3,800. That is not a red flag on its own, but it is less of a track record to lean on than the other picks.
Design and Build
Aluminum housing, a stainless carriage tray, and non-slip feet. At 17.13 by 10.04 by 12.01 inches and 15.42 lb, it is the heaviest machine in the guide — noticeably more than the CUSIMAX or Borlebbi — which buys stability at the cost of counter space.
The blade is removable for cleaning, and Techwood rates the unit hand-wash only. One recurring complaint in owner reviews: the stainless plate on top of the sliding carriage traps bits of food underneath it, and getting it off for a proper clean takes more effort than the simpler trays on some rivals. My guide to cleaning a meat slicer safely covers the strip-down.
Blade and Capacity
The 9-inch blade is the reason to buy this over anything else on the list — it is the only machine here that will take a full turkey breast or a large standing roast without trimming it down first. The adjustable thickness dial runs from paper-thin to roughly 15mm, wider than most home slicing needs.
Owners report it handles several pounds of meat or a block of hard cheese without strain, and slices come out even once the machine is seated properly — several reviewers specifically recommend adding a silicone mat underneath, since the stock feet alone can let it walk on a hard countertop.
Who It’s For
- Anyone portioning large roasts, whole muscle cuts or home-cured meat
- Buyers who want the largest blade in the guide without paying a premium for it
- People who prioritize blade size over review-sample size
- Kitchens with somewhere to keep a 15.42 lb machine that is not the counter
Who Should Look Elsewhere
- Anyone slicing only sandwich meat and cheese — a 7.5-inch blade does that for less money and less bulk
- Small kitchens: this is the heaviest machine in the guide
- Buyers who want two blades — the Techwood ships one, where the CUSIMAX and Borlebbi ship two
- Anyone who wants a large review sample to lean on; 1,149 is the smallest in the guide
Value
At $120.35 the Techwood undercuts the CUSIMAX ($123.98) and the Cuisinart FS-75 ($129.95), and sits within thirty cents of the Borlebbi ($119.99) — the cheapest machine in the guide. That makes it the best-priced way to get a 9-inch blade by a wide margin; nothing else here offers that reach for anywhere near this price.
The tradeoffs are real: one blade rather than two, the smallest review sample in the guide, and a couple of owner complaints about build details — zip-tied plastic bushings on the slide rail, and a tray that is fussier to clean than it needs to be. None of that is disqualifying, but it explains why this is not simply the best machine outright.
CUSIMAX — $123.98. Two 8.7-inch blades and 200W for a few dollars more, if the extra blade matters more than the extra length.
Cuisinart FS-75 — $129.95. A three-year motor warranty and a finer 1/32-inch setting, but the weakest motor in the guide.
Borlebbi 200W Dual Blade — $119.99. Two blades and 200 watts for the least money of the mid-range machines.
Verdict
The Techwood is the right machine for one specific job: portioning large cuts of meat at home, without paying extra for the privilege. The 9-inch blade is built around that, and at this price it is the cheapest way onto this list to get one.
It is the wrong machine for everything else. If your slicer will mostly see ham, salami and cheese, a 7.5-inch blade does that with a smaller footprint and, on some models, a second blade included. Buy it for the roast, or buy the CUSIMAX.
Frequently Asked Questions
How big is the Techwood meat slicer blade?
9 inches, which is the largest of any machine in the guide. The CUSIMAX at 8.7 inches is the only one close; the Cuisinart, Borlebbi and FOHERE all use 7.5-inch blades.
Can the Techwood slicer handle large roasts?
That is what the blade size is for. A 9-inch blade lets you put a whole roast or turkey breast on the carriage rather than trimming it to fit, the way a smaller blade forces you to.
Is the Techwood meat slicer quiet?
Owner reviews describe it as a little noisy in normal use, not silent. Techwood does not publish a decibel figure, and no slicer in this guide does.
Does the Techwood come with two blades?
No — it ships with one 9-inch blade. The CUSIMAX and Borlebbi both ship two smaller blades instead; the Techwood trades the second blade for extra length on the one it has.
