The Vollrath 40701 electric slicer is a compact countertop unit designed for light-duty commercial applications. Its 9 inch blade handles a variety of slicing tasks while the aluminum construction keeps the overall weight at 36 pounds, making it manageable for repositioning when needed. The 0.33 HP motor runs on standard 120V/1ph power, requiring only a conventional electrical outlet without special wiring.
With a footprint of 20 inches wide by 28 inches deep and standing 22 inches tall, this slicer fits on standard prep counters while leaving room for workflow around it. The included knife guard provides operator protection during use and cleaning. The light-duty rating makes this model appropriate for delis, cafes, and smaller foodservice operations where slicing volume is moderate rather than continuous throughout service.
Installation requires access to a 120V outlet and adequate counter space with consideration for safe operation clearances on all sides. The unit is covered by a 1 year limited warranty. Operators should verify that counter surfaces can support the 36 pound weight plus any product being sliced, and plan for convenient access to controls during prep periods.
