Question: I recently purchased this item and when I went to sharpen a knife the motor dies down and stops. Does anyone have this problem?
Document: This is a fine sharpener. You must read the instructions, but my knives seem sharper than when I first bought them. If you push the knife down too hard, the motor stops, you must have a light touch, but once I learned that on the first knife, there is no problem...
After ordering this product I went and read all of the 1 star reviews and was dreading a disappointment.To my surprise this knife sharpener consists of 2 grinding wheels, a coarse and a fine one. So is more serious than any manual sharpening stone or file.Beware you can destroy your knives if you use this improperly. I have seen negative reviews stating that the motor is too weak and that after sticking the knife in the slot the wheel stops easily.
I recently purchased this knife sharpener. Even though I was skeptical that it would work as well as the reviews said, I was pleasantly surprised. It does an excellent job of sharpening knives. The motor is strong and does not bog down as you're dragging a knife through the sharpener. It also is efficient. I sharpened a drawer full of dull knives in ten minutes.This is a very good buy.
I purchased this item after having manual knife sharpeners for years. Our knives just continued to be dull or less than real sharp. I was always jealous going over to other people's homes where I watched them cut with their knives effortlessly. I went looking for a good automatic knife sharpener with a decent price. I found it in the Presto Pro EverSharp Electric Knife Sharpener. I have only had this sharpener for about 1 month, but my wife finally made the comment,  "These knives are really sharp"!
Recently was given a nice set of knives but they needed sharpening. Professional sharpening was definitely not in my budget, way to expensive. So, I went to Amazon.com and searched for knife sharpeners. I found this one with many great reviews. So, I got it and it has not disappointed me. I received it 2 days after ordering and used it that night to sharpen all the knifes. Using a small tomato to check before and after sharpening, I quickly saw that this was an excellent purchase.
This product is EXTREMELY under powered. Motor stops very easily during the sharpening process. Don't be lured in by what seems to be a good price. This item is one you should pass on.
I recently purchased the Presto Pro EverSharp Electric Knife Sharpner, I pulled it right out of the box, read the instructions and followed them to a "t", and presto the knives were sharpen to a near razors edge. I have never used an electric knife sharpner before, I usually use a stone to sharpen my knives, but it takes such a long time to get a good edge.
I ordered and received this item promptly (12/23>12/24), and set out to sharpen all my VERY dull knives prior to preparing our Christmas feast the next day. The item seems sturdy, and I sharpened my first knife through the 1st stage without any problem (I could tell it was sharper already).
(I purchased this item along with a new Messermeister 12" ceramic rod hone/sharpener to keep my blades maintained. I also highly recommend a ceramic rod to anyone. Much better than the old steel.) Both items were purchased for under $55. Beats the hell out of spending $150 + for other brands advertised. I'm not saying they are bad and have not compared, but I'll put this $30 +/- sharpener up against them any day.As another reviewer put it.
I bought this as a gift for my father and he loves it. My mother said he hasn't stopped using it since he received it. He has been sharpening every knife in the house including some of the neighbors knives. He says it works very good and quick. Be sure to follow directions and not over-sharpen. He is very pleased with this item. I would recommend it for anyone who uses knives alot and likes a clean cut.For the price this is a very good product.
Answer: The only time that should happen is if you are pressing down on the knife. Just pull the knife through the slots with just the weight of the knife on the grinding wheels. Hope this helps you.
