About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
Have to be honest looking to see if this is any good, from people who have previously bought it. It seems around the £50 mark elsewhere and I'm looking for a meat slicer that will mainly slice my home cured bacon from chunks of about 1kg pork belly.
I have always sliced them with a very large carving knife by hand, but now I'm making extra for friends and family and it is a bit tiring to slice by hand for these sort of quantities, so looking for something that will make it easier. I know at this price point it isn't going to be 5 star machine, but looking for something that will hold the meat and cut it without the meat sliding all over the place and leaving tails at the end.
Features
Electric Multi-Purpose Slicer
Great for cutting bread, cooked meat, cheese and vegetables
Sturdy metal design
Safety switch for pulse and continuous operation
Precise, removable serrated blade made from stainless steel*
Adjustable cutting width settings up to 20mm – can even cut wafer-thin slices
Slanted base
Suction cups for stability
With removable sliding food carriage with thumb protection, waste holder and collection tray
Power: 120W

sorted byProbably won't buy another if mine died.
To be honest OP I would buy it and see if it's good enough for you, for bacon it would probably be fine. Make sure your meat is very cold, this really helps!
I like really thin cured meats so I just went and got myself a commercial meat slicer 10 years ago. It's massive and weighs a ton but I can slice my homemade bressola paper-thin.
Won't work with raw meat as they "slosh" around too much, only way to do it, is to freeze the meat first then thaw it out very slowly like wrapping it in a towel inside the fridge overnight, so you slice it with soft icicles in the meat.
This is how your local Chinese takeaway cut their shredded beef or chicken.
Lidl are in store only. They don't do online.
it did, but went instore today to pick it up and was told it's not available till the 13th, so amended it
Found it easier with meat the size of pork belly to use it without the sliding attachments and push it along by hand. Only niggle was there is a groove along the bottom and some scraps of meat whilst cutting got stuck in there and quite fiddly to get them out once finished. Overall for £39 not too bad though.

They are good if you use them but would stay away if you get your bread or meat sliced already. (edited)
Never saw anyone doing this but there is for everything a first time.
Kitchen cupboard...?
I gave that up a long time ago.
struggling to find space in a double garage and three garden sheds.
Funnily enough told the wife this morning I may be on a TV show soon!
I really think you'd need something much more massive (strong/stiff/stable/etc) for the dried ham they use to illustrate the product. The serrated blade also won't do justice to Parma or Serrano...
Mine came from Lidl's about 10 years ago. It gets used occasionally - but not really enough!
Ah yes I can see their website also says 13th now, shame I need to pop into town anyway tonight
