Customer Review: so far so good
Summary: 4 Stars
Have only used once but follow instructions with a light touch & you get nice sharp knives. Don't overdo it.Customer Review: Family Sharpener
Summary: 5 Stars
We've owned this sharpener for OVER 6 years. I have the sharpest knives in the neighborhood. In fact, when our adult children came to visit they always brought a box full of their knives for a sharpening party. We have convinced many people to purchase this model. New knives are never sharp so this unit works particularly well when you want a new knife to do it's job. Have sharpened every kind of knife, including bread knives, etc. All with great success. When, and if this unit dies? We will purchase another one - just like it. Customer Review: Chef's choice 120 review , after 1 year of use.
Summary: 4 Stars
Purchased this product one year ago. Sharpened all our knives (22 of them), all sizes and shapes, four times over the course of a year. About 88 sharpening cycles. This unit is easy to use and puts a good, sharp edge on the blade. There is a learning curve for odd shaped or heavily curved blades as the knife must be drawn out evenly with the edge of the blade in contact with the sharpening disk. But with a little practice you can get a good edge. No problems with the unit but it does seem to get hot after extended use (15-20 knives). The blades come out very sharp, although I believe a good " hand sharpening " puts on a slightly sharper edge. The reason I purchased this is that it takes me forever to sharpen by hand. It only takes me a half hour to sharpen all 22 knives with this machine. After one year of use this unit works like the first day we purchased it. Small, easy to use and it works. I would highly recommend this product.
Customer Review: A Excellent Product
Summary: 5 Stars
Over the years I've used Chef's Choice sharpeners with excellent results. Currently I use the 120 model and it produces superb edges on top of the line Henckels knives. It takes about 15 minutes for six knives. When I used stones each knife would take 10 minutes or more. The stones may have produced a slightly better edge but, as a working dad, saving an hour of time is a blessing. Three observations: The usual professional criticism of this system is that it takes off too much steel. I've never found that to be the case. Second, do follow the instructions. Third, different tasks require degrees of sharpness: For some tasks, such as cleaning and cutting a number of fish, a razor sharp edge, without "toothiness," doesn't work for me as well as a slight toothy edge (one with micro-serrations). So experiment. Customer Review: Chef's Choice 120

I have been using "other" sharpeners since forever and will need more time before I give a calculated opinion. So far, so good though.
