But seriously:
The blade is like 7 or 8 inches in diameter, so that "ham" in this picture is deceiving, because it is not a huge ham like what you see in a deli case.
For bacon, I'd think this is useful, IF you want a somewhat uniform thickness.
Yes, I have this, and got it for uniform cuts of ham.
The best results are when the ham is large, so the ham doesn't move around.
As you near the butt, it tends to get sloppy, because there's no back-plate to uniformly pressure the ham against the blade.
I have cross cut sliced bacon, about 1 "thick" for pan frying with pierogies.
Whatever you cut, feed the blade slowly .... complaints say the motor cannot handle the load, but I cannot imagine that to be problem if you aren't stupid.
Lastly:
The blade is sharp and unforgiving.
I've sliced myself a few times, and I'm no idiot (at least, I'd like to think I'm not).
My downfall is I try to get great slices from the butt, limiting waste. But that's simply not possible.
A man's got to know his limitations
I'd say you should try it for your bacon, and return if it's not too your liking.
You're not going to get a better price than this, today.
I'm part Ukie, my mom made me learn how to make pierogies .... we call them Varenykie.
Have to use a non stick pan, LOW heat, otherwise the pierogies will stick to a ss pan.
..... fry the bacon, remove from grease, then saute chopped onions in that fat, then remove onions, saute pierogies, then combine all, plate, slap on some sour cream, open a beer, and prepare yourself for Epicurean Heaven 👼
Sadly, many frozen pierogies have very thick dough ..... there are a few Canadian companies that export great pierogies to The States .... difficult to find.
Many Polish and Ukranian churches sell frozen pierogies made by their parishioners, as a Charity for the church ...... so call their priest, and ask

Though I'll admit that bacon is a special case.

I have slicer as a deal alert and it's rare that there is a deal but it's always this one.

On a side note: I always find it frustrating that even sometimes heritage Slavic speakers call them "Pierogies" when they should know better:
"Pierogi" is already plural.

Slava!
Aren't brand names or references to people typically based on last names?
Hobart seems like a conventional surname.

This will not work for bacon because the feed tray is several inches too short. It would only work if you are willing to cut the bacon slab to end up with half slices. Which may be fine for some. I personally do not like to do that because there is generally a fatty side and meaty side and I prefer them to be together when cooked.
I did not return mine but do wonder if it is worth the space it takes up. The motor is very under powered and you have to apply pressure for most items for it to feed properly. The exception might be a larger ham that has some weight to it. But even then, as you near the end, you will have to apply pressure. I last used it for pork roll and it had trouble cutting through it with any kind of speed. So, you will get more uniform cuts but at a slower rate than using a kitchen knife which is just ridiculous. Then you have to clean the thing.
I worked in a deli as a teen over three decades ago. I did not expect this to compare to a commercial slicer but it is still underwhelming. That with my distant memory of using the slicer. The problem is that it just does not cut or handle very well at all.
I have a Bella Air Fryer and egg cooker and like them a bunch. This slicer though is just junk.
