In use
Smoked BBQ Source found the Chef'sChoice handled tough meats and cleaned up easily but struggled with ribbon-thin cuts. The Cuisinart cleaned up easily too, but ran hot after about 10 minutes and had a flimsy plastic meat holder.

The Chef'sChoice, for its motor and sturdier build.
Can either slice paper-thin?
Neither is great at it. A 10-inch deli slicer like the BESWOOD does it better.
