Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Royal Pencil Sharpeners continue to dominate the marketplace with innovative designs and exceptional values. The Royal P60 is the flagship of our pencil sharpener line. The sleek, vertical design will compliment any desktop. However, the true beauty lies within. The powerful motor and hardened steel cutters separate the P60 Sharpener from the competition. Added details make the Royal P60 Pencil Sharpener the perfect tool for home, school or office.

The extra large transparent shavings receptacle allows you to see when it is time to empty the shavings.

The multi-diameter dial adjusts to 3 different pencil thicknesses.

Functionality Is The Foundation
The Royal P60 offers features not found in other pencil sharpeners. The built-in pencil holder makes sure you always have a sharp pencil at the ready. The extra large transparent shavings receptacle allows you to monitor the waste at all times.

The multi-diameter dial adjusts to 3 different pencil thicknesses. This unique feature enlarges the opening to accept thick elementary school pencils and reduces the opening to insure a clean point on those special designer pencils.

It's All In The Design
Royal builds value into every product. The sleek, vertically designed cabinet not only enhances the look of any desktop, but also houses a powerful motor and hardened helical steel cutting blades. Non-skid rubber feet keeps the base stable and secure while in use. A small sensor triggers an auto-start mechanism as soon as the pencil is inserted into the multi-diameter dial. The sharpened pencil point indicator automatically stops the motor when the pencil has a perfect point.

The P60 is designed for years of demanding use. Royal backs this product with a 13-year warranty on the motor and cutting blades. Not only has Royal designed form and function into the P60 but it has also designed confidence.

The sleek, vertical design with an extra large transparent shavings receptacle, built-in pencil holder and multi-diameter dial makes the P60 the only pencil sharpener you will ever need.

I bought this unit for my wife - she hates the old hand crank sharpener in our basement. This unit works great - My 4 year old grandson and I sharpened a dozen pencils for her in just a couple of minutes -its very attractive on her desk - I bought it because it has a pencil holder built in and the different pencil size adjustment - Granted we only sharpen a few pencils a month and I can see how it might not work in a school setting where someone sharpens a dozen a day but for the home office this is sweet.

1.0 out of 5 stars These sharpeners are junk, April 20, 2010

I have now bought two of these sharpeners at Sams club and both of them broke after 6 months of use. Granted we homeschool so they both got lots of use everyday, but I was very disappointed and frustrated to have my second one break on me. They work good for a while, but the insides are very fragile and do not hold up over time. We will be going to another brand.

I use pencils all day long and sharpening is important to me.
I must first say that my unit did not function properly. When the pencil was inserted, I had to wiggle the pencil around in order to get it to start. That was unacceptable and I had to return it to Amazon (which was absolutely no problem. I Love Amazons return policy).
I will point out a couple of things that I noticed that turned me off as well.
The yellow wheel on the front that is used to set the pencil diameter is difficult to turn. Not finger friendly. Also, in the image it looks like the storage compartment is deep. It is not. The pencils that are in the picture must be at least 1/3 there original size. When sharpening, occasionally the blades grab the pencil and the unit starts to turn, requiring your second hand to hold the unit. When doing this, it is easy to dislodge the shavings container, thus stopping the sharpener.

I purchased a different model (X-Acto 1744 Heavy-duty electric pencil sharpener, black, 1 Unit. It is perfect. It is WAY more powerful and sharpens a pencil to a perfect point.
