Summary: wish I bought this earlier
Comment: This knife sharpener works really good, especially for the money. I've bought a hand held knife sharpener from Chefmate a number of years ago -- worthless. I also tried buying a sharpening stone, couldn't get a good edge on any of my knives that way. I've also tried a two stage manual knife sharpener used with filet knives, with sharpening rods, not very good for my kitchen knives.
Nothing has worked for me, except for this Presto. It's easy to use. The only downside is that the stones rotate in one direction. When the sharpener faces you as I draw the knife through the left slots of each of the two stages, it catches a little, even with light pressure. That's why its not a five star from me. On the right slots of each of the two stages, I haven't noticed it catching. After sharpening, if I look closely, it looks like micro serrations.

Summary: Good Product, But Be Careful
Comment: I've used the Presto about 3 times. Very good product. I don't understand those who say the motor is under-powered. If anything, you need to be careful, as others have noted, about not over-sharpening, and thereby taking off too much. Since the wheels are recessed, you can't see the blade as you draw it across. Follow the instructions and don't sharpen too often and your knives should be fine. It's important to hone knives on a sharpening steel in between electric sharpening.

Summary: Gets them sharp, but too agressive.
Comment: The Presto Pro EverSharp has never failed to get any of my knives sharp but it takes a lot of metal off your knife to get there. Motor gets rather hot after you use it for a few minutes so sharpening every knive in your drawer all at once isn't probably the best idea. The number 2 wheel on mine had a definate wobble to it, but it hasn't seemed to have affected performance much.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Low price is misleading...
Comment: Does a terrific job of making knives razor sharp. You need to exercise care in the grinding stage to avoid removing more metal than necessary, but you don't have to do it very often. Honing is a breeze, and maintains the sharpness.
