this was my dream, April 29, 2009
In fact, this was always my dream to have a professional sharpening device at home. Chef's Choice 130 fully satisfys me, though you have to be careful if you want to use it outside US - not adapted to Euro voltage
Great item, December 26, 2008
Works perfect..you must follow instructions...if you do you will have sharp knives for ever..dont know why I waited so long to purchase...
Knife Sharperner, November 10, 2008
This is really an excellent piece of machinery. It has done an excellent job in sharpening all sorts of knives and is a most welcome addition to our home. It does just what the description says it will do and does it in an outstanding manner.
Expensive, but very good., September 22, 2008

This is a very good electric knife sharpener. The operation is incredibly easy. One literally just needs to pass the knife a few times through the machine, and the edge is nicely sharpened. The result is not surgical-knife sharp, but for regular kitchen chores, it is perfect. It even accept the hugely thick chopping knife. The only minor problem I ever had was with a cheap serrated blade, which was just too soft to hold a nice edge, but I don't consider it a fault of this machine.
