2.0 out of 5 stars Looks cool, doesn't work well, April 18, 2007

My three small boys wear out pencils pretty quickly doing their homework. I thought that a small electric sharpener would be a time (and wrist) saver for us. The sharpener worked well for the first two or three pencils -- then a lead broke off in the sharpener which prevented other pencils from fully sharpening. The broken-off lead would not come out so I had to dismantle it to remove the lead. After that, it never sharpened well. One can argue that I broke it in the repair attempt -- but it shouldn't have needed the repair! So, you can either say that it is poorly designed to recover from broken leads (which happens for any sharpener) or that it is poorly designed to be repaired. Either way, after less than a dozen pencils, I have a sharpener that won't work.

This review is from: Panasonic Pinpoint Desktop Battery-Operated Pencil Sharpener, Black/Red (KP-006AB) (Office Product)

Sharpener failed to meet "technical expectations" - it just won't sharpen the pencils! it makes the noise, rotates the pencil, but it's very tricky to get things done with it - faster to use manual sharpener...
