    Be careful when you order. The electricity in Europe is different than the USA. Be sure you are getting one you can use, or buy a converter at the same time.

    I am faster with a scratcher than with an electric knife. But thats me.

    I have tried the scratcher in the begining and did not like it, to be honest I didn't work at it long enough to get the hang of it.

    Neighbor had a electric knife and I was able to use it with ease, that is my choice for now. Have not used anything else so I can not comment on the comparison. The only down fall of the electric knife that I can say for sure is be careful or you can burn your honey (and fingers).
