Honestly I was hesitant. I have some pricey knifes and some cheap ones. And I've seen some pricey knife sharpeners and the cheap ones. I always like to assume that most expensive is best. But I know it's not always the case (apple lol) this sharpener does what I need it too and it does it well for cheap (not 200$). Not great but well enough. I started with my cheap knife because I was worried about chips. And good thing because even though it is easy-to-use, it's easy to not use right. The grinder inside can easily catch your knife by the tip. And you can easily sharpen a weird edge. But after a few trials it's smooth sailing. I'm new to electric sharpeners, I've always been more of a clay or stone person and prefer by hand. But I've been unable to keep up with them lately for my wife since she's recently taken over cooking. This is quick and easy. The blade doesn't seem as fine as when I use a clay block, but I cut tomatoes and they didn't squish. And I cut sweet potatoes and it went right on through without too much struggle. So clearly the fine-Ness feel of the blade isn't always the tell. But I will say, you can't sharpen at night if you're somewhere sounds may echo. Like apt or townhouse. It's a little loud according to my hard-if-hearing partner lol. I felt like it wasn't too bad. And I've always working with cutting tools so the sound of metal grinding doesn't bother me. But keep in mind that there will be a sound of metal on metal because obviously electric sharpener sharpening. I like it so far(:

Bought the product for my mom. Product does the job

This knife sharpener works great. The husband loved it.

If you are outside of Usa , do not buy it.

120Volts , it will explode if used out side of USA.

buen producto
