You won't get "new" sharpness on the blades, but it does give them a nice edge and it seems to be extending the life of the blades. I haven't tried this on extremely old or nicked blades yet. I first tried it on a blade that was getting dull and after about 30 seconds, it cut very nicely.

The one complaint I have is that it is L-O-U-D!!! I mean, really LOUD! This is louder than my vacuum cleaner. But, it generally takes less than a minute to sharpen.

I believe PatriceJ has also mentioned having one. Maybe she will chime in on how it works for her.

I believe you have covered it nicely. :thumbup:

I save up my blades to sharpen in batches ... wearing ear plugs. :lol:

the noise - have you ever heard someone sharpen a mower blade or knife on a big old grinding wheel in the shop? That is LOUD!! So I can imagine that this little thing is noisey too!
