Review on Bostitch Personal Electric Sharpener EPS4 BLACK by Nicole Mcleod

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Brilliant! Does exactly what it says!

I haven't had any problems so far. In the same shipment I received a pack of 36 Prismacolor colored pencils. None of them were sharpened so I was very grateful that I ordered an electric pencil sharpener. It takes a little effort to insert the pen deep enough to activate the sharpener. At first I was nervous about such a strong pressure. Eventually I got used to it and they were all perfectly sharpened. There were a few pencils that I had a hard time pulling out. I'm not sure what the difference is. They were slightly scratched on the sides when I took them off. I don't know if these pins were slightly larger than the others, or what caused it, but that's not a major issue that bothers me. I would say if you sharpen trending designer pens or heirloom pens, keep looking. This is one size only (regardless of the standard pencil size). It makes me angry, but for the price and quality, beggars can't choose! Eventually I knocked it off the coffee table and it fell about 2 feet to the hardwood floor. It went like a champion! A few tiny scabs managed to escape, but I was very impressed that the whole sash didn't fly off! That alone bought me loyalty, because I'm a born clumsy person. The description mentions that it doesn't get too spicy and this feature worked great for me! It will still make noise like the engine is running, but I could tell the blades (or the tiny beavers? I have no idea) were no longer involved. I'm very happy with my new electric pencil sharpener (Beware the world! I'm moving on!) and would recommend it to family and friends.

Pros
  • LARGE CHIP PAN. You don't need to clean the shavings tray often because it has a large capacity and can handle a lot of pencil shavings
Cons
  • Unsure
