I have a Spyderco Sharpmaker and like it. A better value is this Lansky
Old school guys will tell you to suck it up an learn to use a stone. I don't have that skill.
Edit - Which electric sharpener and hone do you have? Do you know about using your steel or ceramic hone with the tip placed straight down on the cutting board so that your angles and strokes are consistent?
I know you said he doesn't read much but I think his love of Saab will like this book.
Since your knifes get dull quickly I have found that this sharpener does wonders to my knifes, I use this to sharpen my sushi knifes before use. I couldn't ask for any other one.
I do it myself, I bought a ceramic stick sharpener off amazon (this one, although it appears to not be around any more -- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001KN3OLI/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1).
It's super easy, like 10 minutes. Hold the blade vertically, and let the mount do the angle as needed.
Probably would pay for itself after one or two paid-sharpenings.
Just get one of these and do it yourself. I have henckel and wusthof knives that I've been using for 20 years and never needed to have ground. More importantly they are always sharp and I never have to wait more than a minute for a sharp as hell knife.

Currently, I'm using Crock Sticks as my primary method. I also have numerous diamond files, which are tapered, for serrations. A set of Arkansas Stones, and such.
If I could just buy one, I'd go for Spyderco's Sharp Maker. It has everything you'll ever need. Plain, serrated, scissors, any set up. Preset angles, or flip it over and use it as a flat stone...
