Performance
Performance-wise, it’s hard to top it, the only electric sharpener out there that surpasses it slightly being the perfect Chef’s Choice 1520 AngleSelect. The three effective sharpening stages that it offers to knife owners ensure that blade sharpness will be completely restored – when the sharpening process ends, you will able to even cut through sheets of paper with the knives.
What we love about it the most is the fact that there aren’t limitations when it comes to the types of knives that you can sharpen with it. Thus, no matter the cutlery type, you will be able to resharpen it with ease. When first sharpening a dull blade you will waste approximately one minute, while the resharpening process takes about 10 seconds. Therefore, speed isn’t an issue when using it, time-saving being one of its strong points.

Features and Accessories
The non-slip base makes it a safe sharpening tool as it won’t budge a millimeter from the location where you place it, thus not existing the possibility to accidentally hurt yourself when using it.
The spring precision guides it comes with provide accurate control over the angle to guarantee that you have full power of decision over the manner in which the cutlery is sharpened. Additionally, it features a rubber hand grip that not only ensures comfortable and convenient use of the tool, but that allows easy control over it as well.
Ease of Use
There isn’t much to say about ease of use except that it is highly intuitive and user-friendly. All that you have to do when you sue it is to drag the knife’s blade through the insertions where the diamond abrasives are located, starting from the tip of the blade and finishing at the bolster’s level.
Repeat the procedure a few times, and when you notice that sharpness has been fully restored, turn the sharpener off and enjoy using your brand new, sharp knife. What you should know is the fact that the third stage that uses a flexible abrasive stropping disk system is intended for use on serrated knives, creating a smooth ultra-sharp edge.
