Review on πŸ”Œ Enhanced X-ACTO XLR Electric Pencil Sharpener by Kimberly Polcher

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Highly recommended for sharpening colored pencils.

I've tried 3 different razor blade hand sharpeners and they kept breaking my colored pencil lead. At first I thought it was related to the brand of the colored pencil so I bought 2 more different brands and the same problem. This prompted me to start researching and found that it was a pencil sharpener as colored pencils are softer than regular pencils. After a lot of research I decided on this pencil sharpener, based on numerous reviews that I sharpen colored pencils well and don't break the lead when sharpening. So far I've sharpened about 60 colored pencils without the lead breaking. You don't have to worry about over sharpening as the sharpening stops once the pencil is perfectly sharpened. You might think it will still sharpen as the motor doesn't stop running when the pencil gets sharp, but it has a mechanical stop that stops sharpening. You will feel the difference when the pencil sharpens.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Thin
