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