I really didn't think I could justify an expensive sharpener when all I need to do it correct and them maintain the edges.
I was right, mine were rough!! It took a little more than the instructions said in order to get the edge corrected on mine, but since I did, I've hit them on the manual hone side for a couple of strokes and I'm slicing like a mad man!
For the home casual cook that isn't sharpening blades constantly and only needs to fix then maintain good edges this thing is great and at a price I almost passed on because it was so low!! I thought I'd still need to spend a lot more to get a good sharpener, even for my needs. At first when I realized what they meant by "hybrid", meaning what you use the most is manual, not power, I was disappointed, until I used it. It really does only take a stroke or 2 to touch up the edge and it's easy to do without having to pull it out and plug it in. It's not fancy looking but it's built really solid and easy to use and easy to store.
As the instructions will warn, it may leave faint rub marks on some blades and it did on 1 or 2 of mine. But they're faint and not a problem. It may also be me, using it for the first time.
I'd highly recommend this sharpener.

After years of looking for a good knife sharpener at an affordable price, we found this one on Amazon. It absolutely does the job, easily and efficiently. It also works on serrated knives, which is a real plus. Chopping and slicing and dicing is much less of a chore when you have a sharp knife to do the job!I was a little timid at first to use an electric sharpener on my expensive Henckels but after I did, I was impressed with the nice edge it put on all of my knives. The price was very reasonable as well and I would highly recommend this product!Bought one of these because my somewhat expensive knives were getting dull. It works great. I tried the "paper test" on an old Henckel knife I had. If you hold a sheet of paper in one hand a sharp knife should be able to easily slice it from top to bottom and you should be able to cut curves. My old knife badly mangled the paper before sharpening and afterwords it sliced with ease. This sharpener is also easy to use. I bought another one for our vacation house.
