" ... Seriously do not put the effing brochure under the suction mount . ... "
" ... So easy to use, suction cup to hold it in place on the worktop, draw the blade through the teeth, you can hear and even see the filings as the blade sharpens. ... "
" ... Great little item easy to use and with the suction pad stops it from moving easy to store due to its size ... "
" ... It's a good item, not perfect, suction is strong so it is stable on the kitchen top but it's not a magic tool, you have to try few times with sharpening to get good results. ... "
" ... It's smaller than I imagined and comes with a suction pad on the bottom to keep it fixed to the worktop. ... "
" ... The suction cup always holds it securely, and a single pass of the blade is sufficient to return it to super-sharpness. ... "
" ... Works great, will worth the money suction could be better but I maybe using it wrong !! ... "
" ... This is a handy little gadget that works well to sharpen but occasionally comes off the surface it is attached to as the suction fails ... "

" ... Stays put with no fear of slipping. ... "
" ... Bought for my dad who has limited grip. ... "
" ... The fact it grips onto the worksurface is a nice bonus and makes it safer. ... "
" ... I would have given 5 stars but for the reason that only stays put on whatever surface for about 3-4 strokes. ... I’ve got a knack of being able to hold gadget down with one hand and sharpen knifes with the other as you need about 7 strokes to sharpen. ... "
" ... I realise it has to be strong to prevent it slipping, but on ours, it's almost impossible. ... and you have any problems with your hands/upper body strength, you will likely find this sharpener impossible to use safely. ... "

" ... Good reliable sharpener, excellent suction to counter surface allows slot of pressure to be applied. ... "
" ... Great little item easy to use and with the suction pad stops it from moving easy to store due to its size ... "
" ... I would have given this 5 stars but it needs to be attached to a very smooth surface for the suction cup to work efficiently and a solid wood work top is not good enough for this to be achieved, but on a composite work surface it maybe better. ... "
" ... Now I know how to adhere it to my kitchen surfaces it works well. ... "
" ... My kitchen knives are now much easier to use, this product was very easy to use. ... "
" ... what a great bit of kit.no longer need the oil stone as this sharpens my kitchen knives very well.purchased one for my son no more blunt knives. ... "
" ... Great at reviving kitchen knives, followed the instructions and 4 knives went from blunt to better than new in less than 10 minutes. ... "
" ... Yes it’s durable yes it’s easy to clean and yes it’s easy too use BUT it doesn’t actually sharpen knives that well ... "
