In truth, the Beswood 250 is a solid, professional meat slicer that bridges the space between commercial and home kitchen, excelling in both.

Not so heavy that you can’t easily store the meat slicer in a cabinet and take it out for each use, but still heavy. You’ll want to wipe the Beswood 250 down after each use to make sure that the aluminum body doesn’t stain, but that’s standard practice with a machine like this anyway. The V-belt technology also keeps this machine purring pretty quietly, reducing noise and vibrations. There is a mounted double stone sharpener that ensures the blade remains razor sharp, a really smart feature in my opinion. In terms of detail, it’s hard to know where to start. You can adjust slicing thickness from tissue paper thin up to about half an inch thick. The 240 watt motor is more than powerful enough to slice through frozen deli meats and cheeses, and the rubber feet ensure that the machine stays put. The Chromium-plated carbon steel blade is made in and imported from Italy, and mounted on a sleek, solid aluminum body.

The Beswood 250 Premium Meat Slicer is a truly professional machine made from high quality materials. But, if you’re willing to take a little extra time after each use, the Ostba Professional Meat Slicer could still be a great option. And as far as cleaning goes, as you might imagine, it’s not the easiest machine to wash. For one, the plastic meat pusher is very fragile, so you’ll need to be gentle to avoid breaking it. Unfortunately, to sell this machine at such an affordable price point, Ostba had to skimp on a few details. The Ostba meat slicer also has four, suction-like rubber feet that keep the machine stable and secure, and guards against accidents. The fast spinning serrated blade on this machine certainly doesn’t help my meat slicing fears, but I do appreciate the safety lock that protects against unintended use. Of course, meat slicers can be a little scary, and I personally am always a bit nervous using them. For best results, Ostba recommends slicing cold, almost frozen meats. The 200 watt motor is powerful enough to cut through frozen meats and cheeses, while the adjustable, serrated blade can cut from very thin – think, transparent thin – all the way up to ¾ of an inch thick. The Ostba Professional Meat Slicer is an affordable, compact machine, perfect for small kitchens and occasional use. From the blade to the thickness adjustment knob to the automatic release system, each component of the Red Line 220 is the best on the market. The real difference between the Berkel Red Line 220 and other meat slicers isn’t necessarily features that other meat slicers don’t have, it’s the fact that these features are all, simply put, better. And all of the major components – slice deflector, blade cover and meat table – can be easily released, making the Red Line 220 pretty easy to clean. The chrome steel blade slices perfectly, and the machine features a built-in sharpener to maintain the cutting edge and blade efficiency.

But the truth is, I wouldn’t care if this thing weighed 200lbs, since I have no plans to take it off my counter – it’s that beautiful. The Red Line 220 is elegant and lightweight, made from a special aluminum alloy that holds strength without being overly heavy. The machine is both aesthetically stunning and engineered to perfection, perfect for slicing prosciutto to paper-like thinness. The Berkel Red Line 220 is hands down the best meat slicer for home kitchens on the market.
