A knife sharpener is a bad idea generally. They really deepen any defects in the blade. It will make your knives sharper for a bit, but overall those ruin knives and dont sharpen all that well.
There are some belt powered sharpeners that can in fact do a decent job for the average person.
A well handsharpened knife will stay sharp A LOT longer than one from a sharpener appliance. It isnt that hard, a skill most people can pick up and a diamond plated sharpening stone from aliexpress will set you back 2-5 bucks only, while being a decent first stone.
