That expensive knife sharpener I bought was a total waste of $150

Picked up one of those fancy electric sharpeners from a brand called Chef'sChoice last month thinking it would save me time. After using it on my 8-inch Wusthof, the edge came out uneven and I could barely slice a tomato. Anyone else had bad luck with those powered sharpeners and stuck to stones instead?

My $150 Chef'sChoice did the same thing to my Shun Santoku in about 30 seconds. I ran it through all the grits twice like the dumb manual said and it still came out with a wavy edge that couldn't slice through a ripe tomato. I just went back to a cheap King 1000/6000 combo stone and my knives actually get sharp now.

Did you try running it through each grit setting twice like the manual says or just once?
