I had originally purchased a cheap electric pencil sharpener and was frustrated with its lack of performance. I finally "bit the bullet" and spent the big bucks for one that received excellent reviews. I couldn't believe a simple pencil sharpener could be worth that much money, but I am soooo happy with it that I don't begrudge the cost any longer. It sharpens quickly, perfectly every time. It doesn't stop when sharpening is completed, but you can hear the sound change and know it's done. I highly recommend this product and would definitely purchase it again. I can't believe I got so excited over how well a pencil sharpener works! Few things today seem to have superior performance, so our expectations and standards are lower. Not so with the Panasonic pencil sharpener; it's a great product.

I am no expert but I found this to be the best sharpener I have used. This is my second purchase. I have found the points to be perfect and the auto stop to be very helpful in not over sharpening.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Electric Pencil Sharpener, January 3, 2008

This is the quality pencil sharpener I've been looking for. I've purchased and returned two others but I'm definitely keeping this one. The other sharpeners were noisy, had weak motors, cut slowly and were just plain awkward to use, but the Panasonic KP-380 is a fantastic product.

This sharpener is quiet, powerful and has sharp blades that cut smoothly and quickly. The blades automatically pull away from the pencil when sharpening is complete. The shavings container is of adequate size. There are three small rubber suction cups on the bottom that hold the sharpener firmly in place. Five stars.
