Although it packs an impressive performance, it boasts a compact size that makes it a great addition to a crowded counter. It measures 7.2 inches by 4.5 inches by 5.2 inches, and weighs a mere 2.5 pounds. Thus, it won’t only be incredibly easy to move it from one location to another, but finding a spot to store it when you’re done using it won’t be difficult either.

Furthermore, uneven sharpening will never occur with it, so you are guaranteed to have perfect cutlery at all times if you choose to sharpen with it.

The precision guides it comes with help eliminate guesswork, allowing for superior versatility and convenience in use. Additionally, it features the unique and innovative MicroForge technology that creates a superior edge durability-wise, and that ensures the knife will be easy to maneuver and control.

Ease of Use
Using the E5 electric knife sharpener is a breeze, to say the least, comprehensive guidelines being provided in the accompanying instructions manual. To shortly describe the correct manner to use it, know that you should simply turn it on, align the knife to the guide, and continuously alternate strokes to perfectly sharpen both sides of the knife’s blade. Continue to do so until the sharpener automatically turns off. When it does, simply take the honing rod that comes with it, pass the blade through 10 alternating strokes on it, and you’re done.

Warranty and Support
Another impressive aspect is that it is backed up by a generous 3-year warranty. As long as you follow the instructions given in the manual it comes with to make sure that you’re using it properly, the sharpening tool will be fixed by the manufacturer free of charge in case anything happens to it. We can’t overlook the 90-day money back guarantee either as, during this period of time, you can return it and get your money back if you’re not pleased with its performance, regardless of the reason why you took this decision.
