Kitchen & Housewares : Presto Pro EverSharp Electric Knife Sharpener

Rating: - Good Product, But Be Careful
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.

Rating: - Gets them sharp, but too agressive.
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.

Rating: - Low price is misleading...
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.

Rating: - Great sharpener for great results with little skill.
This is a good sharpener for those who have a difficult time getting that nice angle on the knife. It really sharpens knives razor sharp. It will take a few tries to get a good sharpening simply because one would need to get used to the shakiness that one might feel from the turning stone within the machine, when placing the knife in.
