I'll add the standard comment that this is a carbide sharpener and removes a lot of material from your knife every pull which leaves it sharp. For this reason you should only use this with knives that are inexpensive (like that kitchenaid set you might have). You are more than welcome to use this on nicer knives, but you are causing undue wear.

Pull through sharpeners are built to be easy to use and take very little skill, but can do a bit of gouging on a blade, especially the carbide portions of the sharpener. The idea of using one on a knife I care about makes me cringe a bit, but, if you don't want to take the time to learn how to use a sharpening stone then this is your sharpening tool. It's also safe to use since it covers your hand, and at this price it's deal.

Always use a steel first to true up any fold over in your blade, then do as few strokes as possible on the carbide tips, and only if your knife is really dull. Best to sharpen a bit more often, using the ceramic rods for touchups before your blade is completely dull.

If you don't want to learn to use sharpening stones, and don't mind spending about $25 more, consider a Work Sharp Guided Field Sharpener. [amazon.com] It's easy to use thanks to the angle guides, compact, and does a better job than a pull-through without eating too much of your blade in the process. And with a little skill you will get a finer edge than any pull-through.

Congratulations on beating my expectations! I knew the comment would be here, but you added that its fine for cheap sets like kitchenaid. I agree, you'll likely replace your cheap knife set due to various reasons (age, look, lost pieces, bent/broken knives) before you pull enough steel off your blades to make it unusable. If you knew enough to buy a nice knife/set, you should know enough to use something like this rarely to never. For regular consumer sets, go for it.
