It stops automatically at the end of sharpening. The point that I want to make was it sharpens the pencil really pointy.

mine does not stop the motor but you can clearly hear when the pencil has completed sharpening. starts with a heavy coarse sharpening sound then to just the motor spinning...that's when you stop. takes about 3 seconds on a new pencil. really sharp and pointy every time. my 8 and 6 year old love it!

The instructions that came with it say to pull and push alternately, back and forth in full sweeps. I do it that way and it sharpens very nicely.

Yes, after you release the trigger, the electric brake automatically slows the blade to a quick stop

Purchased this at end of season. So have not had to sharpen it. I did purchase the sharpener for it. These mowers usually last for years. I live near Amish country and I know they use and sharpen them.

I have left mine running for a while on high and it shut off. I think there is an overheating sensor or maybe even a timer of some sort. The two pre-programmed settings have a set cycle and shut the blender off automatically.

hasn't harmed mine at all. I do sharpen mine almost everytime I use. This is a great investment.

Yes, it does stop when pencil is sharp. My model provides a choice of very sharp point or slightly dull point.

Yes, it will automatically shut itself off. If you want to keep brushing, just push the start button again.

No, the knife sharpener isn't electric. You need to insert the knife into the slot that's on the back of the unit and sharpen the knife manually. Depending on how dull your knife is, you may need to pull it through the sharpener about 10 times, which is standard for most manual knife sharpeners.

I've purchased several of these at Sam's Club, each time hoping the previous one was just a lemon. I think the model is a lemon. One stopped working a minute after plugging it in. When working, they sharpen fast, but I don't think you should buy one!

I don't think so. I had some problems with my blades as well, over time. I use a heavy card stock and was attempting to cut 2-3 pages at a time. Over time, this stopped working. Because I didn't want to replace the machine, I started just cutting one page at a time. It is, obviously, more time consuming and a pain, but it works better than ever. I did not know the machine was self sharpening, but maybe it is. It seems to have improved by not overburdening the blades.

when there is no more drag on the blade you are sharpening.the groves that are cut into the rod get worn to the point they become smooth.im not sure if you can " sharpen the sharpener " or notit would be best if you would call one of the blade manufacturers and find out for sure .otherwise its time to replace it

No. Line comes into sharp focus as blade lowers no matter if it is turning or not.

Yes, and it's because the iron automatically shuts off if not used for some minutes and it blinks when pauses.

Yes, tiny bits of metal scraped off the edge of the blade when you sharpen it, but that happens to some extent with all sharpeners. I just rinse the blade in water and wipe it on a kitchen towel before using it.

I've only used it a few times but haven't had this problem. It's true what others say, the motor is not super strong but it is adequate if you press lightly. Does the motor start running again if you lift up the knife? If not then it is defective.

I had the motor slow down when the knife I was sharpening was a thick blade. Just hold it with a lighter touch and it worked fine.
