Review on πŸ–ŠοΈ Office + Style Purple Automatic Pencil Sharpener with Auto Stop Safety Feature - Home, Office, Classroom Sharpener (A1SHARPENERPRPL) by Barbara Simmons

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The best sharpener, but damn loud.

Bought this sharpener as a birthday present for a colleague. His favorite electric pencil sharpener died and after using a manual sharpener (disgusting) for a few months I couldn't take it anymore and bought him an Avalon. Compared to the dead 80's style sharpener, this is the pinnacle of writing instrument technology. You put the pencil on it and immediately Avalon takes over. He drops the pencil, sharpens it well (works perfectly every time) and then hands the pencil back to you. All in all, it's a pretty cool process. My only problem? It's noisy. Like, SUPER loud. Our office of four has a rule that this cannot be used while someone else is on the phone. If that factor isn't a problem for you, I say go for it. This is a cool mechanism and does a great job of sharpening. But it's definitely not suitable for a quiet/general office environment. Oh, and a little tip: let the sharpener do its thing. DO NOT try to pull out the pencil after dropping it. He will oppose you.

Pros
  • Writing and Correction Supplies
Cons
  • You could choose a newer model
