Review on X-ACTO Inspire+ Battery-Operated Pencil Sharpener by Denise Davis

X-actlo is what we need. Having kids means having pens. Having pencils and kids means lots of broken pencil tips. Broken pencil points mean a sharpener is needed. After struggling with more broken tips from a manual sharpener, I first bought an electric (plugged in) sharpener at a local store and it worked great for a couple of pencils. Then he just turned, but no longer touched the pins. He returned to the store and left. I came across this model and based on the overall positive reviews, decided to give it a try. Since it's battery operated, I feel comfortable letting the kids do the fun task of sharpening their art tools. I've probably used twice as many pens as the previous model and it shows no signs of slowing down! It's also quiet enough that our little one doesn't wake up. Bonus: sharp pencils -> happy kids -> happy parents.
