I ordered this electric pencil sharpener five years ago to use during homeschool. My two son's had to do a lot of writing for the curriculum they were doing through a college-prep home-cooperative that was very heavy in writing, penmanship, and worksheets. I read tons of reviews on different pencil sharpeners and even ordered several others that broke or quit working within the first year. Bottom line:
-This pencil sharpener has worked perfectly - no problems!
-The suction feet still work five years later. They do not suction so strongly that it can't be moved, but they provide resistance and keep it from sliding around.
-It has survived a few small falls, but I try to place it where it won't get knocked off of surfaces and isn't too high up.
-We have sharpened colored pencils in it but for the most part we try to use it only for pencils - we usually use manual sharpeners for colored pencils. It does work great for colored pencils, but I read those can lessen the life of a sharpener.
-We tried to avoid lots of cheap/coated pencils in this sharpener. We have used those, but again, read that the decorated pencils with lots of plastic and coated surfaces can lessen the life of the sharpener, so we use them, but not as often as normal pencils.
-When my sons were really young - Kindergarten/1st grade, I did not let them use this (I've seen kids put metal and all kinds of things in a sharpener). They started using it the last several years.
-We only had one point in the last five years where I thought we might be losing power or getting to the end of this sharpener's life, but it was just dirty. I let the collection bin get too full and it temporarily clogged the machine - just had to empty it and blow some of the debris clear and it worked perfectly again - no extra cleaning or digging anything out.
-At the time, I thought $30 for this sharpener was a lot, but after reading teacher's reviews I invested in it and after five years, it has more than earned its price - especially in ending frustration from poorly operating electric sharpeners, manual sharpeners that lose sharpness, problems with sharpeners not functioning correctly or breaking, and badly sharpened pencils that come out chunky, blunt, broken, and lose tips constantly. These come out very nice every time!
- I love that the sharpener **stops sharpening after the pencil is sharp!! My sons don't whittle their pencils down to nothing or get distracted and run the sharpener endlessly (the motor still goes, but the sharpener releases).
Covid homeschooling meant a return to our consumption of boxes of Dixon-Ticonderoga pencils with daily math workouts, and doodling with crates of luscious watercolour pencil crayons in vain attempts to stave off cabin fever using soothing adult colouring books.
Prior to that Costco purchase we’d only ever used (for over 15 years) a mechanical hand cranked Apsco.
This Xacto sharpener is powerful!
These are its positive attributes compared to the other two I’ve used in my home:
super fast single-handed operation;
Heavy base, stays put;
doesn’t slide around while using owing to the great suction feet (so sticky it’s a small effort to move it to a different location);
MASSIVE easy-to-access pencil shaving reservoir;
Shavings reservoir pops in and off effortlessly, yet is secure when reattached; doesn’t accidentally fall off
Easy to adjust multiple pencil diameter settings.
I’ve had it for about 2 years now and it’s still sharpening like it did new.
The few seconds it takes to sharpen create a very sharp point though —like every sharpener I’ve ever used—you don’t get a perfectly symmetrical grind even with hand twisting, it’s No biggie.
In short, a great sharpener, and worth upgrading to.
