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

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Good features but poor quality.

The sharpener came in a box (similar) 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. These clips can break if subjected to excessive stress. 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
  • Adjustable pencil tips: The pencil sharpener has three levels of sharpening, the thickness of which can be adjusted with a switch. Suitable for sharpening #2 pencils, crayons, charcoal etc.
Cons
  • Other interesting options are available.
