Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Presto Pro EverSharp Electric Knife Sharpener
Customer Review: Exceeded expectations!
Summary: 5 Stars
I had read the reviews but remained somewhat skeptical yet reasonably assured enough to buy this product. It sharpens all of my knives very well. My old high carbon steel chef knife that mom brutalized by sharpening on the sidewalk was restored to original sharpness in one instructions cycle. Just follow the instructions to the letter, that is quite important. Using force on this machine in hopes of getting the job done faster than what the instructions say will just stall the motor, but it will spin again once the excessive force is released. It gets tricky sharpening long knives like my 2 feet long BBQ-stabber, as I like to call it, since the tip requires some tilting and a steady pace is needed for even sharpness. I did not experience any sparks from sharpening my Dexter Russel high carbon knife. I usually see sparks with the higher velocity motored sharpeners like the one I use at work; put enough pressure on those babies and there'll be fireworks alright. Not exactly a good idea though ;)Customer Review: Really Works

I bought a Victorinox 8-Inch Chef's Knife, Black Fibrox Handle a few years ago after reading about it in The New Best Recipe: All-New Edition. The knife worked really well at first. The time to chop vegetables, and everything else was dramatically reduced with this new knife. Then I used it on a glass cutting board. The knife became really dull and I stopped using it for a few years.
Enter the Presto Pro EverSharp. I used it for the first time on my Chef's Knife last weekend. Then I started trimming fat from a brisket. I was almost finished when I sliced a nice flap of skin off my ring finger. When the knife was washed later it sliced the wash rag neatly. This sharpener works really well. It's been wonderful having a super sharp knife (minus the injury).
Customer Review: I wish I would have bought this years ago. Its FANTASTIC!

I have a high dollar set of Wusthoff Trident kitchen knives that I was always scared to run through a mechanical sharpener. After wasting many hours and dollars on trying to manually sharpen these using wetstones, Lansky sharpeners, etc. I was never able to get the edge like original. About 2 minutes on each knife through this sharpener restored the blades to like new. The sharpener doesnt get hot enough to damage the blade, and I didnt have any issues with sparks. Some reviews I read earlier complained about the wheels stopping and not having enough power. This is by design to prevent damage to your blades. I never had an issue with the wheels stopping. You would have to be heavy handed and not read the instructions to have a problem with this item. I love it. Best investment I made for my high dollar knives. I use the knives every day, so I need them sharp. I will probably buy another one for later use at my vacation home. GREAT PRODUCT!!! PLEASED CUSTOMER!!!Customer Review: Simply amazing

This sharpener is astounding. My knives are now all frighteningly sharp - sharper than they have ever been. Following the instructions exactly, I was able to return a perfect edge to my Wusthof Classics within one or two runs through the procedure (sandwich, paring, chefs, and large and small Santoku) - all within minutes of opening the box. I hadn't realized just how dull they had become until I see what they can do now. The chef's knife will literally slice a ripe tomato by resting the knife on top of it with no added pressure.
The hum of the sharpener is quiet, though my 2-year-old was a tad concerned by the sound of the actual sharpening. Despite the built-in shaving collector, I did notice some fine metal shavings on the counter behind the sharpener once I was done. Not a problem, just something to be aware of to wipe up afterwards.
This is a fool-proof product that absolutely does it's job as advertised.
Customer Review: This rocks - especially for the price (i'd pay double)
Summary: 5 Stars
I highly recommend this sharpener! I checked around (a lot) and after reading many reviews I gave it a try. Wow! Super easy, fast and really sharp knives!! Honestly, I can't believe it is so affordable and does this good of a job. This thing goes to town grinding so I don't think I'd want to do it all the time. I have expensive J.A. Henckels knives and they are like new again! Follow the directions exactly because it doesn't take much to really grind these things. I did manage to take out a bit of the beginning of my blade (closest to handle) on one of my knives but this was user error. Just do what the instructions say and you'll be fine. If you have a few older knives that you don't care about as much, I would practice on them first.
I will never have dull knives again and slicing tomatoes is a whole new experience - amazing!
I am really picky and research everything before buying so if I'm pleased you can feel confident in ordering this.
