Bostic is the best!

I spent so much money to find the best pencil sharpener and I found it. Bostitch is the best on the market. The tip is so sharp and the cut is so even around the entire circumference of the pencil. I am 100% satisfied with this product and can only recommend it because of its excellent properties.

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Lasted over 7.5 years

Bought this sharpener in 2012, over 7 years ago. It no longer sharpens pencils to a fine point, but it was worth buying to work as a heavy duty sharpener and last as long. Decided to buy another brand for $20 and gave it a try this morning. Apparently it has a much weaker motor - it sharpens jerkily in just 1/2 second rather than continuously until either released or hitting a sharp point. Now planning on returning a new one and will likely buy this Bostitch again.

Pros
  • Durable test results
Cons
  • Something is wrong

My favorite sharpener

I have two of these. One in my classroom and one at home in my office. I love it. The sharpener is great because you only need to use one hand to sharpen your pencil. With front sharpeners, you need to hold them with one hand and use the other to sharpen your pencil (or you'll push the sharpener away). This is very fast and slows down automatically when the pencil is sharpened. It's very easy to clean, although it can't hold tons of shavings. I like that you can see if the container is full. Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Long wait

Not worth the money!

Bought this electric sharpener to replace a cheap model with a handle (also junk). This electric was finicky from the start. You have to press the pin at an angle to make the motor spin. After about 2 weeks it completely failed. I took it apart and found that the switch trigger is made of the thinnest plastic known to man - just very poor design and very cheap. I was able to heat and bend the plastic to get closer contact with the pin and now it works fine. But it's still a really cheap device.

Pros
  • Handy thing
Cons
  • Without insurance

How disappointingly good for stationery and school supplies

I was very disappointed after trying to use my new Bostitch sharpener, mainly because it's the first product I've tried after all I've shopped at Revain for years. As some of the other reviews have noted, sometimes it only worked after repeated attempts or proper positioning or whatever. I've just emailed Bostitch for a warranty replacement and hope to join the 5 star reviews here next time. This is a correction to what was said above: I just found out how it works stably and sent them a follow

Pros
  • Useful for more than its intended purpose
Cons
  • There are flaws

Let's get down to business.

This is a great electric pencil sharpener. Its work works perfectly, it stops sharpening as soon as the tip becomes sharp, although the motor continues to work. I also appreciate the sharpener's vertical configuration to minimize footprint on a crowded desk. Others have complained that the chip compartment could have been larger, but that wouldn't be a problem for the individual user or "executive" for whom the device seems intended. I use the sharpener once a day before I draw my comic and Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Tip saver technology extends pencil life and prevents over-sharpening
Cons
  • Available in white only

Extremely disappointed - don't waste your money!

After 1 month of brief use of this product, I am very disappointed as it only sharpens half the pencil, the other half is still covered with wood. How terrible! He seems out of balance. But my return period has expired and I need to buy another brand. My first review: I bought the exact same model that we use in our office. The sharpener in the office works perfectly. So I wrote down the model number and ordered one for my elementary school students. However, the one I have at home is quiteโ€ฆ

Pros
  • QuietSharp motor with thermal overload protection for silent non-stop operation
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

Excellent warranty and customer service

We bought this sharpener 3 years ago. I agree with most of the comments from the other reviewers that the sharpener capacity is too small, especially the number of crayons my kids cycle through. But it's quiet, sharpens quickly and works well. However, in the last 6 months he has been fussy. The sharpener motor will not start unless you wiggle the pen or tilt it at a certain angle. We got through it, but it was a frustrating process. Eventually he started making a loud noise and didn't quiteโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Compact slim vertical design for any desk
Cons
  • Very expensive
