Review on πŸ–οΈ Electric Pencil Sharpener, Navy Blue (EPS4-KTBLUE), Gray-Dark Blue by Heather Shaw

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ideal for children at home and in lower classrooms. Be sure when placing.

My kids love this sharpener. It's fast and sharpens better than my school sharpeners. I am a teacher and my birth children would often sharpen ten pencils every two weeks using the powerful sharpeners in my classroom. In the meantime, they used their tiny pocket sharpeners. It didn't work that well. We always ran out of sharpened pencils for art projects and homework. My biggest objection to an electric sharpener at home was the danger it posed to my three year old. She is precocious and too brave for her own goodπŸ˜‰. However, my husband and I found a spot for a sharpener on top of our bedroom dresser and ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (big bonus) the pencil hole is too small and deep for her little fingers anyway. It's a relief for worst case parents like us and for my older kids who need it. I would also use this in a classroom with my students, but in places with little use or traffic (like an art or writing center, or at my small group's table with a guide). It's smaller than a regular classroom, so the shatter tank is small and needs to be reset often, but it's just as powerful as it is big.

Pros
  • HHC Knife - Hardened spiral provides 4 times longer sharpening life than a regular sharpener
Cons
  • Some bugs
