AFMAT Electric Pencil Sharpener, Heavy Duty Pencil Sharpener for Classroom, 6.5-8mm No.2/Colored Pencils, UL Listed, 10,000+ Sharpenings, Electric Pencil Sharpeners for Home, Office, School PS13

We bought this after hating our $20 Bostitch one that was so finiky. Our kids love to draw and use color pencils so we sharpen daily. This on works great. It gets the pencils sharp with no problem. Its not finiky about position and the sharpen is even all around. Our children have a hard time deciphering how long to keep the pencil in. WIth that being said i think it could only be better if it would stop cutting when the pencil is sharp. Otherwise, it's a pencil sharpener, the opening is too small for fingers so yes its kid friendly. It fits perfectly on my counter without taking up too much space and its heavy enough so it doesnt slide around. The shavings pour out easily and the compartment for the shavings slides back into place easily so it's pretty easy to clean. Overall a solid sharpener and worth the upgrade for my family

I will try to be as honest as possible because I depend on other people's reviews and feel I want to help the best I can: I looked at many Pencil Sharpeners on Amazon and picked this one because it sounded and seemed more rugged and stronger plus still looking modern enough to fit in on my desk. Once it arrived I was glad I had picked it because it appears well-made. It has weight and feels well-made. It works quickly and sharpens pencils with perfectly centered points. The little rubber feet hold it in place even when pushing the pencil into the sharpener. Only thing I did not appreciate was they had placed a silver sticker on the top of the sharpener warning me to not insert the pencil into the hole crooked. REALLY ? I hate when companies put goofy stickers on products. I purchased this because I liked the sleek totally black look it had. On the good side, I was able to peel the sticker off. It was a metal type that left lots of gooey sticky on the black pencil sharpener. I then took some WD-40 and spray it onto a paper towel and let it drip onto the glue stickiness. In case you are confused, WD-40 has Kerosene in it, which is the best thing ever to dissolve glue residue off items. I was able to clean it up and now you can not tell a sticker was ever placed on it. This works on all stickers. I have even used it to remove sticker residue from products like Record Albums. Just be careful to verify the material will not react to the WD-40 before getting it all over the item. This might be something most people in the world could care less about. Sadly it would've driven me crazy every time I looked at it had I not removed the sticker. I now love the pencil Sharpener and highly recommend it.

As someone who prefers writing with wood graphite pencils in work journals, this sharpener worked very well to sharpen pencils without points breaking. Recommend it for any home office.

I had a pencil sharpener that was nearly 20 years old. It was a great workhorse. This last year though it started making funny noises and didn’t sharpen very well. Then it just stopped working altogether. So I purchased this one. I was unsure about how good it would work, but was hopefully optimistic. Man oh man was I pleasantly surprised. It worked fantastic. I use colored pencils to design quilt blocks. This requires the pencils be a very sharp point and this pencil sharpener does the job extremely well. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because a pencil tip broke off inside of it and I could not find it. Plus it sounded like it was really struggling to work. I did everything that is recommended before I finally gave up. I’ve only had it for about 2 weeks, using only a few hours in the early morning hours before kids are up and it was giving out. The seller was great and sent me a new one in replacement. If not for that I would have gladly given it 5 stars. I’m hoping it doesn’t do that again. I’ll update later.

I give it 5 stars. I like my pencils to always be sharp. This unit, so far, does the job! Over and over again. It is fast and makes a very sharp point. It is robust, powerful, and sturdy. I have a sense it may last many years for me.

After suffering through a number of "made for school use" pencil sharpeners that burned out over a short amount of time (planned obsolescence?) I used my own money to buy this Afmat electric pencil sharpener for my classroom. It was one of the best purchases I ever made. It's lasted at least 3 times longer than the other sharpeners I had and, even after some student "disaster" happens (e.g. a too-short-to-sharpen pencil gets stuck far inside) I have been able to get it working again (by using a longer pencil to push the short one through). I would highly recommend this over cheaper brands because it's a work horse.

Works well, sharp points, powerful. No need to push the pencils in too hard, if you do, the point may break and get jammed and then you'll have to dig it out as I haven't found any way to gain access from inside. Unplug it!!!! If you stick a pencil in that has lead showing and when you pull it out, the lead is gone, tip the sharpener on it's face and the missing lead should fall out, otherwise, It may be jammed.

Works like a charm! Make sure you get a 220v to 110v converter if operating this in India.

Works like a charm

Muito bom, pena que fica muito pontudo perigoso para crianças pequenas, para um desenhista é ótimo.

Absolutly huge SCAM useless and dangerous,It is nowhere specified that it is120v on the item description( I have screenshot of the amazon page) and doesn'tfit the 220v of the international sell market !!I think it is intentional to increase the sells !!unfortunately no return available too !!!AGAIN THIS IS 120V AND NOT 220V ,

Excelente producto, cumple muy bien su función.
