What is the best electric sharpener?

Sharpening your knives with electric sharpeners comes with advantages. These sharpening machines are often easy to use, have a fixed sharpening angle and work incredibly fast. But which electric sharpener will suit you best? That depends on multiple important factors.

The function of professional electric knife sharpeners

Knife sharpening machines come in many shapes and sizes. There are, for instance, electric pull-through sharpeners. These type of sharpeners are a part of the electric sharpeners category, but work differently. Which machine will suit you best depends on what you wish to sharpen.

Chef's Choice electric knife sharpeners

The Chef's Choice sharpening machines are great to sharpen knives and the most simple, yet effective solution. All you have to do is pull your knives through the slots from the heel to the tip a couple of times. Because the angle is set, you can't go wrong here.

The slots are enhanced with rotating diamond-coated and/or ceramic sharpening discs, alongside which you move your knife. A two-stage sharpener is often enhanced with a disc with a coarse and medium-fine grain. If the sharpening machine has three stages, it will have a coarse, medium and fine stone.
