Works great. Homeschooling my son and nice he can just sharpen his pencil at his desk!

Works great. We were looking for a more cutesy one but decided to try this one out instead and it’s much more powerful, we love the storage capacity for the pencil shreddings, the sharpening speed and it has a nice design.

Great for the classroom, easy to set up and great quality and speed.

Nice automatic Corded pencil sharpener. Has an auto stop and makes nice sharp long points

Pencils. We who grew up in the pre-computer era likely when through hundreds of them throughout our academic careers, and they're still in popular use, though not AS common, certainly.When I was a kid, buying school supplies meant getting a box of #2 pencils, and every classroom had a mechanical pencil sharpener screwed to the wall somewhere. (Of course, this was before, and just shortly after Jimmy Carter created the Department of Education, and the resultant drastic decrease in scholastic performance, nationwide, which it brought along with it.)Pencil sharpening was a daily... often multi-times a day... experience. And if the sharpener in your classroom wasn't in the best shape, it could be nearly impossible to get a proper, sharp point.And that was with the pretty-high-quality ones most schools bought at the time. They had "grinders" which were, if properly aligned, pretty good at sharpening without consuming too much of the pencile. Home sharpening was usually with a little plastic "box" with a razor blade inside at an angle, which you'd have to CAREFULLY twist the pencil inside of to shave it to a point... and it almost always broke, in my experience.Well, I still use pencils at times. But the only at-home sharpening capability I had, prior to buying this, was either with one of those delicate little "razor in a box" sharpeners, or with a pocketknife.So, after the last time I struggled, I decided to see what was available. And I found this unit.I love it. It's never, yet, broken a tip, it shaves off just enough to give me the point without consuming too much of the pencil (wasting it), and it can be operated with just one hand... a huge benefit. This is a drastic improvement on even the best-quality "in classroom" sharpener of my past experience, and renders my little "razor in a box" sharpener totally pointless.The only drawback is that it takes up a bit of countertop or desktop space. You can't just stick it into the drawer, as I have always done with my "razor in a box" sharpener. It needs to be plugged in, as well... to me, that's what I wanted, but that means you have to mount it near an available power outlet or power strip. There are battery-operated ones which, depending on how you want to use it, may be better suited for you.But the fact that this sharpens with almost no effort, and gives me the most consistent, and almost delicately sharp points I've ever personally seen, makes this a full five-star rating from me!

Works great si far. Had for a week.

Perfect size for a desk with limited space
