Amazon.com Review: This electric sharpener is so simple to use that knives practically sharpen themselves. It puts a professional-style edge on any kitchen or sporting knife (except serrated knives). Because magnetic guides hold a blade at the proper angles, no guesswork is involved. You simply grip your knife loosely and pull it lightly through the sharpener's slots without pressing down. Key to this knife sharpener's performance is the two different stages: the sharpening stage and the second honing stage, which polishes the blade to a razor edge. Those two stages create different bevels, putting a "shoulder" on an edge instead of sharpening with a single bevel. The shoulder strengthens the edge so it lasts longer. For each stage there is a pair of slots, and the slots use 100 percent diamond abrasives for hardness. The sharpener measures 7 inches long, 4-1/4 inches high, and 3-3/4 inches deep and carries a two-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

This product was actually given as a gift. I gave this to my grandmother. She loves it and says it works well and it was easy to understand what to do. She is so gald to have sharp knifes again.
Rating: - Great Knife Sharpener
This is the second Chef's Choice sharpener I've purchased for myself. The first one lasted more than ten years. I've also purchased this as a gift for two of my my grown children who also love it.
It works great and is easy to use. Takes only a couple of minutes and no sweat to sharpen a knife.

I have to say that the sharpener is probably only as good as the knives I am trying to sharpen.I thought the diamnod hone would be the best , and it may be if one has a decent set of knives..All in all it took a lot of passes to sharpen knives..Sooo", I'd have to say that the Chef's Choice would be a good buy price wise, ability etc..
Sooo", now I guess I need to get a really good set of harden steel knives or something..I would recommend this sharpener.Any sharpener is not going to do the job right if you're using reallly cheap flimsy knives.."Make sure you have a set of good knives 'FIRST'..
Rating: - Bought it, returned it.
This gizmo sounded like a great item to have so I decided to take the plunge and buy one. I was very disappointed. After sharpening one very good knife, I noticed a lot of etching along the blade of the knife - not nice! I cut a tomato with ease, but the next job was a piece of raw meat - I could have gotten further with a butter knife. Maybe it's great if you don't have a steel (most good knives do not need to be sharpened very often, just steeled), but I would prefer to stick with the old method. When one spends $200-$400 for a knife, that etching of which I spoke earlier is not nice. It might ... Read More
