Knife Sharpener

It sharpens everything from scissors, screwdrivers to medium-small knives faster than other sharpeners.. I don’t like how loud the machine is and the way it vibrates very hard.

I liked this sharpener. Wasn't sure if it did the trick or not. There are two levels of sharpening. The main holes you pull the knives through and then the fine tuning section. You pull the knife through one side 4 to 5 times and then repeat on the other side of the knife. I found the one side seemed to be more difficult to get good contact when pulling through. Not sure if it was just me or the machine. Anyhow after I sharpened a few older knives I ran them through a hand sharpener I had and put them away. The other day I pulled one of the knives I had sharpened out of the drawer to cut a few vegetable and it was like cutting through butter with a hot knife. I couldn't believe this old, large knife which had been useless was now razor sharp. I also sharpened a few pairs of scissors which seem to be cutting well since.

I have been buying and using many types of knife sharpeners; but this is first electrical one. I really like its power and easiness - no arduous work or get bothered about maintaining right sharpening angles etc. It's perfect for normal guys who simply need uncomplicated way of doing things. It surprised me when my kitchen scissors got its sharpness back and almost useless small screwdriver got its head corrected. Yes, I had sharpened all my knives in the kitchen in the first day itself. It is now more than 5 weeks - and no need for rework again. Very happy with this purchase. Just feeling sad that one day, my wife will throw all other sharpners from kitchen cabinets into the trash!

Product works as expected

I bought this for all around sharpening for my home. Kitchen knives, scissors, and screwdrivers all great to use with this. Only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because for folding knives its a little tricky. For small folders it will sharpen about 3/4s of the blade, the bottom being the only part that doesnt get a good grinding since the handle stops it from getting near the stones. That being said it is still a great budget sharpener for the home.

Update- Because I believed it was my fault this sharpener quit on me, I purchased a second one, and am abiding by the 3 minute instructions with no issues.This knife sharpener worked well a couple times, then quit all together. I think I burned it out by sharpening for too long at one time. The instructions read, "Do not run the appliance over 3 minutes each use." 'Let rest for 20 minutes', but somehow I missed those instructions.

I was skeptical about any sharpener to begin with. I've tried a few and they hit the garbage, along with my money. It took a few tries to figure out the angles to hold the knife at while sharpening, but I half a**ed got it going and my knives are SHARP!!! Don't give up on the angles.... I can HEAR and feel the smooth slice as it goes thru food. Bought last year, but just used again and was so pleased I had to jump on and give an excellent review.

Shipped fast with Prime. First time tried, it pretty good. Liked the quickness of sharpening, but didn't do good on the scissors, as the kitchen scissors I tried, only opened about 30 degrees, and the sharpener needs scissors to open at least 100 degrees, it seems, so I couldn't get the scissors in to sharpen.... at least those scissors.
