★★☆☆☆
Skimping in material on the most critical component is a huge no-no!
Just got it today. While sharpening my knife I noticed the belt became misaligned while making a lot of noise. Taking off the sharpening jig and looking at the handle+motor, I noticed that the drive shaft (which was plastic) had snapped off from the motor. Looking back at previous reviews, it seems other people have also experienced the same issue.
It had still sharpened my knife well though, so I'm not giving it a 1/5. But I already started the return process for it.
