Electric bread slicers can be found and manual ones. Which one to buy depends on many factors. If you have no time for bread cutting and need to do it fast; or if you slice bread every day like a restaurant, you should consider the electric one. When you only want to slice bread sporadically or you do not want to spend much on a bread slicer, you may consider a manual slicer because it is cheaper than an electric one. So choose the one that makes sense for you. Both models have their own advantages and disadvantages.
