This sharpens pencils perfectly

I must’ve gotten the defective one. I plugged this in sharpened one pencil and went to sharpen another and it quit. I can’t get it to work no matter what I do. It’s very frustrating because this looks like such a nice pencil sharpener. It was hoping, it would be the product I needed but unfortunately it does not work for me.

I give this sharpener 5 stars for putting a nice sharp point on my pencils, but I have to deduct a star for some minor issues which may or may not matter much to anyone other than me. Pros: - It does a great job on both regular #2 pencils and on my colored pencils. You will see in the pictures and video that I am able to easily get a good point. - Once you get the hang of it, the sharpener will also auto stop when the pencil is sharp. That is handy since you don't want to waste any lead in your expensive colored pencils. - The sharpener is small and compact for an electric sharpener. - It has a generous holding bin for its relatively small size and it is easy to open for emptying. It is not as easy to put back together so that is explained below as a con. Cons: - The cord is only 24" long and it does not use a standard USB cord so you cannot switch it out for a longer one if your outlet is far away. - It uses standard batteries instead of having a rechargeable battery like many comparable sharpeners. - It has 3 sharpness levels, but I cannot tell a difference between them. There are 3 pencils in one of my images. They were all brand new pencils and I sharpened one on each setting. Starting left to right the one on the left should have the finest point and the one on the right should have the thickest duller point. I cannot really see or feel much difference so that is a con if you want to have a shorter duller tip on your pencil (finer points are easier to break, especially on some brands of colored pencils). - I had some issues with the sharpener when I emptied it because the whole blade part lifts out when you open it. Even though I shook it good over the trash, shavings stuck to the little wheel in the bottom of the container. When you try to put it back together the shavings prevent the sharpener from snapping down onto the wheel. That must make some safety feature kick in because the sharpener will not run even though you got the lid closed. I had to take it back apart and brush it out and fiddle with it until I got enough of the powder and tiny pieces off that it would run again. Pencils Brands Tested: - Arrtx - Sharpened easily with a nice fine point. This is the brand I used in the pictures and video because I had some new pencils that had never been sharpened. - Prismacolor Premier - It sharpened them exactly like the Arrtx. The auto stop worked even on the softer wax of the Prismas. I sharpened several and did not experience any lead breakage while sharpening. If you want a shorter/duller point on your Prismas then this is not the sharpener for you because the dull setting still creates a relatively fine point. Personally, I generally like a finer point on my Prismas and luckily the result with this sharpener is good for me even though all 3 settings are the same. - Polychromos - It sharpened them exactly like the Arrtx. The auto stop worked fine even though the Polys have a harder lead. - Brutfuner Squares - Unfortunately this is a nope. The sharpener will not accept the square pencils. Despite those few cons listed, I am overall pretty impressed with this sharpener, especially the auto stop function which has not always worked very well for me on some comparable sharpeners. It gives me a nice point and does not eat up my pencils so I can put up with a few minor inconveniences like the short cord and fiddly process required to empty it.

I'm no big-deal artist or anything, but I do like working with my colored pencils to create something like art! Of course that also means I need to sharpen them from time to time and I was so tired of the mess using the little ten cent sharpener that I had to clean up after all the time. This pencil sharpener is just perfect for sharpening the colored pencils as it fits well in the drawstring bag I use for the tin of colored pencls and sketch pad. That's all I need! This usb powered sharpener is powerful enough and works well with a small power pack so it can be portable when I go out in the field to sketch or if I want to draw the lake and surrounding hills on a camping trip. Very nice, portable pencil sharpener!

This sharpener works as well ( if not better) as the old manual hand crank school sharpeners. It sharpens my pencils very well and isn’t too loud. The sharpener has fast sharpening, auto stops once the pencil is sharpened, has three sharpness options available, and auto excludes broken lead. The overheat protection prevents motor from overheating. Easy to empty receptacle, just lift the cover by pressing the buttons on side of lid to remove the shavings. The sharpener is suitable for ordinary pencils and colored pencils with a diameter of 6.9 to 8 mm. The sharpener turns on as soon as you press a pencil into the hole. Hold the pencil still and gently press it down to sharpen. Slide the point sharpness selector to the left for a finer point or slide to the right for thicker point. They recommend thick point for color pencils. You can use the included usb cord or 4 AA batteries to run the sharpener. DO NOT SHARPEN HARD MATERIAL PENCILS,SUCH AS CHARCOAL PENCILS OR SOFT MATERIALS SUCH AS CRAYONS AND OIL PASTELS.

This electric pencil sharpener is powered by either USB cord (short one included) or by 4 AA batteries. It sharpens incredibly quickly - when you put a pencil in, once it's sharp it just stops so you know you're done. The first time I used it I thought it didn't work because it was so fast. My only complaint is that it ONLY sharpens pencils that are the "standard" size. If you have a pencil that is slightly larger, there is absolutely no way to use it - the hold at the top is one size and one size only, and if your pencil doesn't fit inside, you're out of luck.

Works just fine - I give it 4 stars because it is not very powerful and struggles with harder wood pencils. It does get the job done and it's compact size and low noise factor make it a decent addition to any desk or office.
