This grinder/sharpener was well packaged and arrived much sooner than expected. I really think they've nailed it so far in terms of design. However, I was expecting to see a physically larger device, but as a knife sharpener the machine will keep all your knives sharp as they are. The only complaint is that it needs a more powerful motor. In addition to applying light pressure (on the belt with a knife), slow or stop the belt's movement. The bottom line is that lightweight is anything but a good job. It is not suitable for large and thick items such as mowing knives or axes. In addition to sharpening knives, it is suitable for carpenters who need a grinder for fine-tuning small workpieces.
