Review on 🔌 Efficient Electric Pencil Sharpener for Schools - School Smart Vertical Sharpener 084437 by Gillian Francis

My rating is based on more than two years of daily use. This sharpener quickly sharpens a regular pencil, but the shavings container is too small and difficult to empty. The bin is easy to pull out and replace, but you can't just turn it upside down to empty it. You have to shake it a little so that everything falls out. Actual capacity is about half the size of the entire basket (i.e. capacity increases less than half the distance from the bottom to the top of the basket) so the basket doesn't hold as much as you might think by looking at it . Also, the basket often comes off while pencils are being sharpened. As for safety reasons you cannot sharpen a pencil when the basket is not in place, this means you have to put the basket back in to continue sharpening. These design flaws are minor, but after years of use, time wasted by wasting too much time shaking the bin to empty it completely, having to empty the bin more times than necessary because it's quite small, and the Having to push bins back in place because it comes loose and all of this adds up to hours of wasted time.
