Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My arthritis makes sharpening my knives manually pretty painful. I make cooking videos so I use my knives a lot. I decided to invest in an electric sharpener, but I didn't expect a lot considering my price range. I did some research and saw that this little machine is often rated in the top 10, and at this price point, that surprised me, so I decided to go with it. Well, let me tell you, that was a good investment. I read all the directions, practiced on a knife that had not been sharpened for 2 years and was so dull it wouldn't cut paper, just made a dent. It took several times running it through both sides of sharpening and then honing, but wow. You could shave with it now. Makes a clean cut on paper and cuts a tomato or onion almost paper thin with no tearing. One of my viewers reported that she has been using an identical one for 5 years with no loss of sharpening quality. Would I recommend? Unless you want to spend $200 for the best ever with diamond blades, this is your new best friend. Yes, yes, yes.
