Electric Berkel is a subcategory comprising 10 products, focused on electric slicers. The range covers three performance levels: the more affordable Home Line Plus (200 and 250, in black and red), the mid-level Red Line (220 and 300, also available in white) and the professional Pro Line VS30 and the flagship Domina SLG350. The range also includes the Red Line 300 in red as a second-quality item at a reduced price.
How to find your way around this category
Home Line Plus is the entry range suitable for domestic use and occasional slicing. Red Line offers higher performance for more regular use, whether at home or in a smaller catering operation. Pro Line VS30 and Domina SLG350 are professional machines for intensive everyday use in restaurants and delicatessens, with the Domina representing the flagship of the entire brand.
For a household with occasional slicing, Home Line Plus is sufficient, while for professional use with a high volume we recommend the Pro Line VS30 or the Domina.

Electric vs. manual slicer
The electric drive removes the physical effort associated with turning the wheel by hand and allows more efficient slicing at higher volumes - ideal for operations where slicing is done regularly and in larger quantities. Manual Berkel machines, on the other hand, are valued above all for their design and craftsmanship, while the electric models put the emphasis on practicality and performance.
A model marked "second quality" has minor cosmetic imperfections, but is fully functional and is offered at a more favourable price.
