SunrisePro Supreme vs. Mueller 4-Stage Manual Sharpener Side-by-Side Comparison
Overall Verdict
The SunrisePro Supreme and the Mueller 4-stage sharpeners are quick sharpeners, each taking just over a minute to sharpen a uselessly dull knife to the lemon-cutting level. Your knife can achieve the same level of sharpness with either of them. However, the SunrisePro is slightly faster and gentler on the knife edge.
Design-wise, though, the Mueller is the better choice, despite its high center of gravity. Most users will appreciate its sizable body, large grip, and spacious working section. We can’t say the same about the SunrisePro: Its small size and suction base aren’t for everybody.
All in all, we think the Mueller’s usability over-compensates for its negligible inferiority in performance when compared to the SunrisePro.
