What blade size do I need in a home meat slicer?

Most home-focused models in this pool use 7.5" stainless steel blades, which handle deli meat, cheese, and bread for occasional use. Larger 9" to 10" blades, like those on the Weston and BESWOOD units, are better suited to frequent slicing and bigger cuts, and verified-purchase reviewers tend to associate them with more durable, commercial-style use.
