If you’re shopping for a new premium slicer, you’ve probably come across both the Globe S1-Series and the newer S2-Series. At first glance, they look similar, and that’s because they’re built on the same Globe foundation of quality, performance, and reliability.
So, what’s changed?
The S2-Series isn’t a replacement for the S1. It’s the next evolution, incorporating operator feedback and thoughtful design improvements to make slicing easier, more efficient, and more cost-effective over the life of the machine.
Both series deliver:
Powerful, continuous performance for all-day meat and cheese slicing
Consistent, precise slice thickness
Durable construction for demanding kitchens
Reliable operation for high-volume slicing
The biggest differences aren’t found in the motor; they’re found in the design. The S2-Series was engineered to improve the overall operator experience while reducing the long-term cost of ownership.
Commercial kitchens rarely have extra counter space. The S2-Series features a more compact design, giving operators the same slicing capacity in a smaller footprint.
| Feature | S1-Series | S2-Series | Benefit |
| Width | 36 – 39” | 22 – 24” | Nearly 40% narrower, maximizing counterspace |
| Depth | 26 – 29” | 28.3” | Virtually unchanged working depth |
| Height | 25 - 28” | 24 – 25” | Slightly lower profile |
| Weight | 114 – 127 lbs | 78 – 91 lbs | Much lighter for easier installation and handling |
Refined controls and improved access points help make everyday slicer operation and cleaning more comfortable. Ergonomic improvements throughout the machine reduce unnecessary movement and create a smoother workflow.
The S2-Series was engineered to deliver greater value throughout the life of the machine. Its optimized design helps reduce the upfront cost, while improved cleanability and easier maintenance save operators valuable time, resulting in a significantly lower total cost of ownership.
Both premium slicer lines will provide the Globe dependability you know and trust, along with superior slice quality and powerful performance. The S2-Series isn’t about changing what worked, it’s about improving the details that matter most.
The S2 manual models are currently available for purchase, with the automatic models launching in the coming months.
