I was skeptical when I bought this because of the price - compared to other sharpeners. This sharpener is great. It works and is easy to use!!!
The left side sharpener is a course grinder while the right side is a fine grit sharpener. Both sides employ separate rotating grinding disks. You first pass the knife on the left side course grinder for 12 seconds (6 seconds for the right side of the blade and then another 6 seconds for the left side). After which you sharpen the blade another 12 seconds on the fine grit sharpener. The whole process takes about 30 seconds. If the blade hasn't been sharpened for a while you will need to do this process about twice.
This sharpener really works. It took all my dull knives and sharpened them to easily cut tomatoes.
CAVEAT: when sharpening, make sure to draw the knife in a steady continuous motion. Do not apply pressure and press the knife down.

I recently ate at a local Japanese Hibachi Bar and I was more amazed by how sharp the knives that the chefs were using than the tricks that they performed as they cooked my meal. I said, man I gotta get a set of knives like that!
A few years ago I bought a new set of knives from Amazon (J.A. Henckels Twin Signature 7-Piece Knife Block Set). The problem with this excellent set of knives is that the sharpener that came with it is one of those steel wands. A Master Chef can clank that wand back and forth against the blades of his knives with great precision to create a razor sharp cutting tool. I, on the other hand, somehow seem to have made the blades of my knife set duller using the dog-gone wand.
So sitting there at the Hibachi bar I had an epiphany! A voice! It called out in my head...."Buy a better knife sharpener."
Where better to look than the place that I bought my knives: Amazon. Type in: Knife sharpener. Lo and behold: dozens of choices of knife sharpeners!!! Woo-hoo! The Presto Pro EverSharp Electric Knife Sharpener has a lot of high ratings; it's inexpensive...give it a try.
Try I did, and the knives in my set are now sharper than they were when they arrived new! The Presto Pro is pretty cool: a 4-slot little machine that looks like a mini-toaster. Turn it on. To sharpen: apply very little pressure...run your blade 3 times through both slots on the left side of the toaster...er...I mean...sharpener; to hone: again...not too much pressure...run your blade 3 times through both slots on the right side of the sharpener. And voilà! You're cutting through meat and veggies like a Master Hibachi Chef!
Great little product. Stop reading my goofy review and add it to your cart.

| I owned this for about a year. It work great but constant use took its toll. Last week I tried to use it and the motor wouldn't turn. Investigation showed that vibration in the engine had caused it to break two of its 4 mounting points. These are just simple screws into very thin plastic. Thus one of the grinding wheels was touching the internal casing. It must have been coming loose for a while as the vibration had bent the shaft slightly which means the whole thing runs out of balance. So into the garbage with it |

| Works well, very much worth the price. I've never before been able to sharpen our kitchen knives nearly this sharp without much more effort. |
