5.0 out of 5 stars Fun. And Sharpens Great., June 17, 2007

Here's the best thing about this walking robot pencil sharpener - it sharpens pencils - really sharpens them. To a point that could be lethal.

Sure, the little guy is cute. The idea is fun. You sharpen your pencil while at the same time winding up the robot. When you're done, the little guy will walk across your table, across your counter, across the floor, making a hissing mechanical noise.

But the price and functionality take him over the top.

So if you use pencils and you want to add a little fun to your desktop, this robot is highly recommended.

2.0 out of 5 stars Cute but fragile, August 17, 2011

I bought three of these: one worked fine, the second was over-wound and ruined within five seconds, and the third slipped from my child's hand and exploded into all its component parts when it hit the floor. While user error or carelessness are clearly to blame for these incidents, I frankly would like a little more durability in an item designed for kids. It's cute and clever, but purchase at your own peril.

I bought this as a gift for my friend because we were doing "Secret Santa". I had no idea what he liked because he never specified anything. All he said was "it doesn't really matter". The pencil sharpener looks exactly like the picture and it just looked great! The box that housed this little sharpener also had the robot theme going on. The sharpener itself works okay, it's nothing special. Sharpening your pencil does wind up the robot though, so it works as advertised. It's a fun to use and great for young boys; my 7year old cousin wanted one for himself and he asked me to buy one for him too. :D

Update: I just realized that the price for this sharpener has doubled in price! I bought it for only $5.95, and I really don't feel like it's worth $12. There are other places selling the same sharpener for a much cheaper price.
