Works very well and colored pencils come out very sharp/pointed. It has been a huge time saver not having to sharpen pencils by hand and a lot of effort saved too. I agree that the design of the waste-catch always makes a mess when removing it but that is minimized by only letting it get 1/3-1/2 before dumping. I would buy another one if ever needed again.

Unfortunately after a year this thing burned out. But let me explain this would be a year of being used by children for every kind of pencil shaped item you can think of. And about 2,000 pencils.. it was great while it lasted. It also grinded the pencils evenly not too much on one side or the other Read more
Worked perfectly!! Sharpens pencils Read more
Great little sharpener. Took a star off because it WILL shatter if it is dropped on a hardwood floor. This little guy does great sharpening quickly and accurately (it wont eat the entire pencil). The design is compact and fits easily in a small space. The price is nice too. Read more
I had my old pencil sharpener for decades and then one day...boom, it's dead. I saw this one and it looked good at a fair price and it's been happily parked in my home ever since. I use it daily, it's quick, quiet and easy to clean out. It sharpens my pencils fast. You can either use the batteries or plug it in. Small enough to take with you if you wanted to. Read more

Even though the shell is made of plastic that feels cheap and flimsy, these little suckers sharpen pencils like it's nobody's business. They're so fast and efficient, not to mention easy to clean. I have two for my classroom, and they get the job done every time. Read more
