My husband and I bought this pencil sharpener about 10 years ago after getting tired of sharpening pencils by hand. We couldn't be more pleased with this product--it works perfectly! We love the sleek, vertical design, especiallyl how this allows you to insert your pencil at the top. The machine sharpens in seconds, and it stops automatically with the "auto-stop" feature, thus ensuring that your pencil won't be over-sharpened to the point of breakage. In fact, I've never had a recently sharpened point break off; this product truly sharpens the point to perfection. If you are a stickler for the perfectly sharpened pencil, look no further--this is your product! Highly recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars At first you will love, but won't last a year with daily use, May 16, 2008

I tutor so I am sharpening pencils daily (about 10 a day). For the first 9 months or so, I loved this pencil sharpener. I loved the auto stop feature and the point on the pencil was perfect. However, lately the point is not as sharp and the pencil is being sharpened in a way that causes the lead to fall out. So time for a new pencil sharpener. If you are willing to replace annually, then you will be happy with this product. Related to getting the best results from any pencil sharpener, buy decent pencils--avoid Staples pencils--the lead constantly breaks off.

I love this sharpener, and it's the fourth type I have bought. I plan to buy several more before they become unavailable for some reason. I use colored pencil, watercolor pencils and graphite and the sharpener is the best I have ever used for any of these products. Only drawback is that the small cup has to be emptied often but that's just the downside of a sharpener that doesn't take up much space.
