Powerful Powerhouse
We had several different pencil sharpeners, all of them lower cost than this one. However, we were consistently disappointed that the sharpeners would start to clog, then they would bog down. Finally, they would not sharpen as well. After getting annoyed with poor quality sharpening, we got rid of our previous pencil sharpener and move up to this beastie.
This pencil sharpener is heavy and classy-looking. It looks professional and sturdy. We have sharpened a lot of pencils in it and it is still going strong. The cutters are X-Acto brand blades. X-Acto makes high quality blades for hobbiests, and the quality of the blades shows in the sharpening. Pencils are sharpened evenly and only until the point is precisely sharp.
When you combine the 10-year warranty with the quality of the cut and the appearance of the pencil sharpener, you have a device that anyone, executives included, would be proud to have on their desktop. Give this one to the kids and they will never have an excuse that they need to sharpen their pencils before they do their homework. This is an excellent product!
A GREAT SHARPENER - GET THE POINT?
It's classy, compact and does a great job of sharpening pencils to a perfect point in a jiffy.
Unlike other electric sharpeners it doesn't seem to keep grinding away until your pencil is but a nub, but stops when the exact point is reached. Also, it is an even point rather than one sided. There is no necessity for you to keep turning the pencil in order to achieve an even sharpening.
