Terrible Sharpener, Stay Far Away

This sharpener is an absolute waste of money! When I tried this product, it broke my pencil lead and left the wood splintered. It completely ruined my art project, and I had to start all over again. The only positive thing about it is that it has a sleek design. However, this doesn't make up for its poor performance. I wouldn't recommend this sharpener to anyone in the Arts and Crafts industry. Don't waste your time or money.

Pros
  • Durable and reliable for long-term use with high-quality sharpening capabilities.
Cons
  • The vertical design takes up more desk space and can be less convenient compared to horizontal sharpeners.

Slightly less effective than a hungry guinea pig

I would find it easier to sharpen pencils with a butter knife. The first pencil I put in my pocket immediately crumbled. Not too sharp, completely broken, almost half of the pencil turned into a coarse mulch. After thoroughly cleaning the parts, I tried another pen, this time VERY slowly and carefully. It reached about a half-pointed state before suddenly eating the pen again. On about the tenth try (I'm an artist and I'll be damned if I can't use a basic pencil sharpener) my wife asked me to

Pros
  • Sharp stop mechanism shuts off the motor when the pencil gets sharp
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

No spiral blade!

We've had this pencil sharpener for a little over a year. I should have known that kind of blade would be worse. In fact, this is a small manual school sharpener for kids, but with a motor. I was saddened when my trusty 20 year old battery powered Bostitch sharpener died. It has worked great every time and I rarely changed batteries (but to be honest I haven't used it that much). I figured this type of blade would be something new (it seemed to be very popular!) so I'd give it a try. It was…

Pros
  • Compact upright design
Cons
  • Not sure
