The Berkel Icon Line 170 is the compact entry point into Berkel’s electric slicer range. Designed for home kitchens, it combines a 170mm chromed steel blade, 0.19 kW motor and precise 0–18mm thickness control in a lighter, more manageable machine.
Its compact size makes it easy to accommodate on a kitchen worktop while still providing the precision expected from a Berkel slicer. It is particularly well suited to cured meats, vegetables, sandwiches and everyday food preparation where a larger 250mm or 300mm machine is unnecessary.
Compact Design for Everyday Kitchens
The Icon Line 170 is designed for kitchens where space and usability are important. The compact footprint allows the slicer to fit comfortably on a worktop while remaining stable during use.
- Compact design suitable for home kitchens
- Stable base with non-slip feet
- Lightweight construction for easier handling
Precision Cutting Performance
The 170mm chrome-plated steel blade features a professional cutting profile designed to produce clean, even slices. The inclined cutting surface allows ingredients to move naturally toward the blade during slicing, improving consistency and reducing effort when preparing food.
- Professional blade profile
- Inclined cutting plane for smoother slicing
- Consistent slice quality with reduced waste
Adjustable Slice Thickness
The manual thickness adjustment dial offers precise control over slice thickness, allowing users to prepare a wide variety of foods.
With adjustment from extremely thin slices up to 18mm, the slicer is suitable for charcuterie, vegetables and thicker cuts depending on the recipe.
- 18-position manual adjustment dial
- Suitable for thin charcuterie slices and thicker cuts
Motor Performance
The Icon Line 170 uses a 0.19 kW motor, the same nominal motor output used across the Home Line Plus 200 and 250 models. This gives the Icon 170 a useful balance of compact size and dependable everyday slicing performance.
Cleaning and Safety
The slicer includes several features designed to simplify cleaning and improve safety during operation.
- Blade protection ring
- Integrated stop button
- CE safety lock during cleaning
- Removable blade guard
- Tilting food plate for easier access
- Dishwasher-safe product press holder

About Berkel
Berkel has been making slicers since 1898, when Wilhelmus Adrianus van Berkel patented the original hand-cranked flywheel design in Rotterdam. The company's design and product work is based in Italy today, and that same mechanism still runs through the Volano range alongside the electric slicers and knives.
Pasta.Kitchen is an official UK Berkel distributor for domestic slicers and Volano machines, so every Berkel product we sell is genuine and backed by the manufacturer's warranty. Find out more about Berkel.
