Don't waste your money

I thought I liked this sharpener but after VERY little use for about two years it died. Bought May 2018 and now August 2018. It is almost never used. When it was in use, I sharpened several pencils at once. After sharpening about 6 pencils, it overheats and switches off automatically, which I gladly ignored because it always worked perfectly again after it had cooled down a bit. A few days ago I tried to sharpen 10 pencils. Overheated but the sensor also failed and the motor kept running even…

Pros
  • 65% faster sharpening and 6x longer knife life
Cons
  • Will write later

Sharpener crooked

Some say it doesn't sharpen evenly. It was said, perhaps by the company or the seller, that the lead was not in the center of the tree. No! Many pencil brands have the wood cut on one side and, as you might expect, barely cut on the other. I suspect this is caused by the feature preventing you from sharpening the pencil to the point by holding it when the point is on it. Even turning the pencil while sharpening doesn't prevent uneven results in most cases - see photos of Staples #2 pencil…

Pros
  • Tip saver technology prevents over-sharpening and extends the life of the pencil. Clean the cutting blades by wiping them with a dry cloth to remove residue. Do not use grease, oil or abrasives.
Cons
  • Expensive

I need to start listening to my wife

Well folks, this has a twist. Price. It s cheap. Yes, it will sharpen the pencil, but if you don't practice and practice and practice, you'll end up with a crooked point every time. Personally, I've gotten pretty good at "twisting" my pencil as I sharpen it to create an even point, but I have to admit it's a real headache. The chip tray is quite small, and if you sharpen a lot, you'll have to empty it constantly. I've had the sharpener for about three weeks now; Given its semi-soft use, it's…

Pros
  • Safety switch disables operation when easy-to-clean chip bin is removed
Cons
  • Something else
