SunrisePro Supreme Manual vs Wamery 4-Stage Manual Side-by-Side Comparison
The SunrisePro may be small, but it’s mighty and is our easy choice over the Wamery.
Specifications
Design
As small as it is, the SunrisePro is strong, solid, and sturdy. We could tell it’s made with attention to detail and quality.
The overall build is mediocre at best. It has a spacious grip and a wide base but its materials, fit, and finish are nothing to write home about.
Usability
The SunrisePro’s suction mechanism may take some time to get used to, and even then, it can from time to time be challenging to get it to work properly. You may also want to be mindful of the sharpening pressure or risk having your blade eaten away by the device.
The Wamery sharpener scored fairly well in this section, in part due to its simple yet convenient design. The height makes it a little awkward to use at times but other than that, there’s no steep learning curve to master.
Performance
The SunrisePro offers faster sharpening than most multi-stage devices. Unfortunately, it does so at the expense of the knife edge.
The Wamery offered a decent performance. While it didn’t take the knife far beyond the serviceable level, we were impressed with how fast the sharpener brought it back to life from dead dullness. Its ability to preserve the blade material has also been matched by no other.
Overall Scores
Pros & Cons
- Strong, sturdy build
- Extremely quick sharpening
- Great sharpness
- Affordable price
- Strong suction base (while it works)
- Extra sharpening slot for scissors
- Intuitive slot order
- Wide base
- Suction base is surface-discriminatory
- It can peel off a lot of metal
- Shabby build
- Excessive height, high center of gravity
Conclusion
The SunrisePro definitely gets the edge over the Wamery. It not only takes a much shorter time to sharpen a blunt knife, but the level of keenness you can reach is greater, too. Granted, it also removes way more material from your blade, but we’d take that over spending an excessive amount of time for rather mediocre sharpness, which is the case with the Wamery.
We could give credit to the Wamery for its more appropriate size for kitchen knives. The SunrisePro is so small it can be a little awkward to work with at times, and its suction base also requires specific surfaces to operate properly. Then again, it has a much more solid construction compared to the Wamery, and in the end, that gave it the edge for us.
