Choosing between the Fii Model K8700 and the Hobart HS7N starts with one question: what kind of cutting work does your kitchen actually do? The Fii is a pre-owned multi-function processor that comes with a collection bin and the original instruction manual for $152.10. The Hobart is a pre-owned heavy-duty electric meat slicer for deli and restaurant use, priced at $3,200. If you need one machine to handle different prep jobs, the Fii is the more flexible option. If you need consistent high-volume slicing, the Hobart is built for that.
Quick Verdict
For a prep-focused kitchen, the Fii Model K8700 offers several cut options from one machine at a much lower asking price. For a deli or restaurant that slices in volume, the Hobart HS7N is the dedicated answer.
At a Glance
| Product | Price | Best For | Power / Blade | Condition |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fii K8700 Food Processor Set | $152.10 | Dicing, grating, slicing produce | Continuous feed, interchangeable blades | Used |
| Hobart HS7N Meat Slicer | $3,200.00 | Slicing deli items | 1/2 hp, 13-inch blade, 120V | Used |
Where Each Wins
The Fii Model K8700 wins when you want a single machine that can produce different cuts. The included discs let you switch between prep tasks without pulling out separate appliances. Its lower price makes it an easier entry point for a smaller kitchen or a produce-focused menu.
The Hobart HS7N wins when your day revolves around slicing meat and cheese. The large blade and motor are built for volume, and the electric setup is straightforward. The trade-off is cost: this machine is the higher-priced of the two, and it is single-purpose. It slices, but you would still need another tool for dicing and grating.
Product Notes
Fii Model K8700 Commercial Food Processor Dicer Grater Slicer Set
The Fii Model K8700 is a continuous feed processor that uses multiple cutting discs to produce different cuts, and it includes a collection bin and the original instruction manual. This used unit is a practical fit for kitchens that prep vegetables and softer ingredients in batches. Choose it when you want one machine to handle several prep tasks or when counter space is tight. The limitation is that it is not a dedicated meat slicer; it is a prep processor, not a deli slicer. If your main job is neat, uniform slices of large cuts, this set will leave you wanting a separate slicer.
Hobart HS7N Meat Slicer 13" Commercial Deli Restaurant 120V
The Hobart HS7N is a heavy-duty commercial meat slicer with a 13-inch blade and a 1/2 hp electric motor. It runs on standard 120V power, which keeps installation simple in most kitchens. This used unit is aimed at delis, restaurants, and food service operations that slice meats and cheeses all day. The large blade and motor are what you pay for: this is the costlier unit. Choose it when you need consistent, high-volume slicing of large products. The limitation is that it only slices. It will not dice, grate, or perform the other prep tasks the Fii set can do, so be sure your slicing volume justifies the price and the dedicated counter space.
Final Choice by Use Case
Pick the Fii Model K8700 if you need a multi-use prep machine for dicing, grating, and slicing produce at a lower upfront cost. Pick the Hobart HS7N if you run a deli or restaurant line that needs high-volume slicing and you can allocate more for a dedicated slicer. Your workflow, not the price tag, should drive the decision.
