Review on JARLINK Electric Pencil Sharpener: Battery Operated, Heavy-Duty for School, Classroom, Office - Auto Stop, No.2/Colored Pencils (6-8mm), Black by Shantel Griffin

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Good features but poor quality.

The sharpener came in a box (sort of) and in an envelope. It actually looked like it had been used before. Multiple issues with the product. First, it doesn't lie flat on the table. The wobbling makes it uncomfortable to hold the pencil in the sharpener. The battery cover is very cheaply made. You actually have to flex the plastic tabs a bit to get the cover in place. If subjected to excessive stress, these clips are sure to break. The battery compartment is also a bit cramped. There is room for a screw in the battery door, but there is no screw. There are some nice features that I haven't seen on any other pencil sharpener. The sharpening function is great. It also automatically causes the sharpener to stop when it reaches that level of sharpness.

Pros
  • Multiple power sources: Powered by 4 AA batteries (batteries not included), power cord or USB. Flexible and convenient to use anywhere and easy to carry.
Cons
  • Very expensive
