A lot of knife fans really hate on pull-through sharpeners since they can remove more steel than other sharpening methods, but they can be a quick way to keep kitchen knives sharp with a quick tune-up. They are usually not the best choice if you let your knife get too dull between sharpenings, and the purists will tell you just to learn how to use expensive sharpening stones and do it by hand. Others will tell you to buy a bench grinder or electric sharpener of some kind so you can abuse your knives at near the speed of light. And then there are those for whom any sharpener that doesn't measure to the precise degree of sharpening angle is worthless.
The reality is somewhere in the middle. If you just want a quick sharpening solution for your kitchen knives then this is a fine tool. You will actually see a lot of professional meat cutters using something like this in conjunction with a knife steel so they spend more time cutting meat than sharpening. Getting only nine years of use rather than 10 from a knife is a compromise most pros are willing to make for more cutting time.
I collect budget knives and have expensive whetstones in a case around here somewhere. My personal favorite one piece sharpening solution is the Work Sharp Guided Field Sharpener. I use it on everything from kitchen knives to folding knives to hatchets and machetes. You can find it regularly for around $40 on Amazon, and comes highly recommended. Notice I did not include a link, and while I love this little sharpener, I'm in no way affiliated. (But, if a Work Sharp rep is hiding somewhere in the comment section, I might entertain a DM, lol.)
Really, sharpening most knives doesn't take much in the way of expensive gear, and there are lots of ways to do it on the cheap if you watch a few YouTube videos. A two-sided coarse stone for the initial rough work can be found at the dollar store, and a leather strop for finishing can be made out of an old leather belt from the thrift shop. Toothpaste with baking soda works ok for a sharpening compound on a strop, too. A decent combo ceramic rod or medium/fine diamond plates don't have to be a lot of money if you shop around. You can even sharpen a knife on the bottom of an unglazed ceramic coffee mug, and a clean piece of cardboard can be used to put a hair-splitting finish on a knife with the right blade profile.
But this sharpener would be a good option if you only have kitchen knives to sharpen and don't neglect them too long and keep them touched-up. Be safe, watch your fingers and know your local knife laws if you intend to carry.

Technique matters most, and a lot of it can be learned from this video. [youtube.com] And, here are my obligatory links to common knife steels [heinnie.com], and one more [knifeinformer.com], and knife carry laws by state [akti.org] that I like to include anytime I talk about knives.
