Electric Kitchen Knife Sharpener - Get knives ready for cookouts and BBQ's- Fits in Kitchen Drawer, Sharpens every time, fast & easy

I have now tried at least 6 different systems for sharpening knives and this is currently my method of choice. I wish I could choose the angle, but 20 degrees is fine for kitchen knives (and the scissor sharpening tool is an added benefit). It's quick at doing it too. Much quicker than manual methods. If you are an expert at using whetsones I don't think you'd be reading this review, so this product is not recommended for you. But if you want a relatively small, consistent, and quick device to sharpen knives to 20 degrees, I think you can stop looking for it. We'll see about its longevity. I've never used flexible abrasive disks before, so I'm hoping the last. I'd like to see an attachment to change the angle (but I think that's part of the e5 system) and maybe an option for different "grits" for the abrasive disks -- but then we would be adding complexity to a system whose main selling point IMO is to be simple. Would I use this to sharpen an heirloom knife? No. But I'm the kind of person who doesn't like babying my tools and if a knife lasts me 30 years instead of 40, I still think it's worth the ease of use and consistency I'm seeing from this little thing. At $50 and the quality I'd expect from a Work Sharp product, I think this is a good buy.

This is great, and totally worth the money. The only knife sharpener I ever had before was a small whetstone. I had a bunch of kitchen knives that were in sad shape, all duller than an HR presentation. I read about this one on Wirecutter, and decided to give it a try. Good purchase. You plug it in, turn it on, and run your knives through a few times on each side. It only runs for a short amount of time, so you don't have to worry about overdoing it. Best of all, it actually works. Those knives are sharp now. You can remove part of it in order to make the openings larger, so that you can sharpen something thicker, such as scissors. Don't use ceramic blades on this. You can also sharpen serrated blades, though not in the same way as straight blades. The sharpening wheels are replaceable, which is great, meaning this is not disposable junk. You can also open it up to get the metal dust out from inside. If you want useful knives again, just buy this. There are supposedly better sharpeners, but they are way more expensive, and I'm not about to bring my blades to Chopped or anything, so I am good. You will be too.

Easy to use; holds knives in the proper position, sharpens quickly and turns off automatically when edge is sharp enough. Works best on smaller, thinner knives, not my big Japanese chef's knife. I'd probably get a better edge with a whetstone, but that requires time and skill I don't have so I'm satisfied with this.

Pleased with this compact and effective electric sharpener so far. Really like the fact the abrasive discs are replaceable. It is American made and that was the deciding factor for my purchase among all the choices out there. It is easy to use and fits in a kitchen drawer.

simple to use electric knife sharpener that does it's job VERY well and dosnt break the bank. i highly recommend this product for home cooks and anyone else who appreciates a sharp knife. You probably dont need new knives, just sharper knives. i used to take hours keeping a good edge on Wifey's fav kitchen knives manually sharpening and now its minutes a week. a knife sharpener is a much underrated kitchen appliance IMHO.

I transitioned to this product after many years of sharpening my kitchen knives using Japanese whetstones. The whetstone method produces fantastic results, unbeatable really, but is extremely time consuming if done properly (~30m a knife); also, and I speak here from experience, you _will_ experience an impressive finger injury at some point if you do not have proper technique or are not paying attention. So, I settled on the Worksharp E2 based on reviews; it seemed like the best of the "cheap" sharpeners. At $38 from Amazon Warehouse Deals I think it's a good value for the money. I agree with others that the machine seems well engineered, especially for this price category. The results are okay -- not spectacular, but fine for day-to-day use. My knives are definitely sharper. They cut into vegetables and fruit with relative ease, and do an okay job with meat as well. The supplied guide is okay, but not great. There is only one angle, meaning you are somewhat out of luck if you own both western and eastern kitchen knives. The "scissors guide" accesses by removing the knife guide is slightly larger the the tip of my pinky finger and totally worthless -- attempting to sharpen scissors on this machine resulted in something akin to a pair of conjoined butter knives. My favorite party trick with my whetstone-honed knives was surgically bisecting a paper towel. That sort of thing is not going to happen with knives sharpened by this (or any other cheap machine). To get a truly honed edge -- burr, followed by polishing, leading to a mirror finish -- you'd want to successively grind at finer and finer grits, and as far as I can tell, that is not an option using the E2. You could do that using the much more expensive E4 sharpener (https://www.amazon.com/Work-Sharp-Culinary-Kitchen-Sharpener/dp/B07KWWN1MV/ref=pd_rhf_ee_s_cr_simh_0_2/137-6745790-1389266?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07KWWN1MV&pd_rd_r=bfe8a789-7244-419a-8229-f6c02371062b&pd_rd_w=yPK7y&pd_rd_wg=F4htQ&pf_rd_p=67aa5820-8762-4202-90ba-881bb99c913c&pf_rd_r=0E755WT7X6E41B73T9N8&psc=1&refRID=0E755WT7X6E41B73T9N8) plus upgrade kit (https://www.amazon.com/Work-Sharp-Culinary-CPAC004-Multicolor/dp/B074JJ849Q/ref=pd_rhf_ee_s_cr_simh_0_3/137-6745790-1389266?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B074JJ849Q&pd_rd_r=bfe8a789-7244-419a-8229-f6c02371062b&pd_rd_w=yPK7y&pd_rd_wg=F4htQ&pf_rd_p=67aa5820-8762-4202-90ba-881bb99c913c&pf_rd_r=0E755WT7X6E41B73T9N8&psc=1&refRID=0E755WT7X6E41B73T9N8), but the combined price of those items is roughly five times what I paid for this machine.

اين استطيع ان اجد قطع غيار مثل الحزام و الحجر الدوار ؟

Ein tolles Schleifergebnis liefert der Messerschärfer wenn man sich aus eigenen Fundus oder aus dem Internet ein 230V~ /12VDC_1000mA besorgt hat. Es liegt keine deutschsprachige Betriebsanleitung bei. Anscheinend wird dieses Gerät nur für den amerikanischen Markt in China gebaut. Deshalb auch der mitgelieferte110V Netzadapter, der sich platzsparend auf der Unterseite verstauen lässt. Anhand der Bildsymbole des usermanuals kann jeder erkennen wie der Schärfer funktioniert und erhält von sofort an ein tadelloses Schleifergebnis. Für zwischendurch verfügt das Gerät über eine Keramikrollvorrichtung in der das Messer ohne Netzbetrieb "abgezogen" bzw. nachgeschärft werden kann. Eine wunderbare Maschine. Dennoch bleiben zwei fragen offen wie lange halten die austauschbaren Schleifsteine und sind sie erhältlich?

It is great,my knives are all sharp

We report on just the initial impressions after sharpening ~ 6 different knives. The instructions were clear, the machine was easy to use, and it worked flawlessly. We also like the design, which is compact and functional, with easy storage of the 110V cable and plug. So far so good.

Doesn't take off your edge properly.
