My brother and I never used this pencil sharpener much because it didn't sharpen evenly. We kept on using manual sharpeners. If the manual sharpeners broke the tip of the pencil 3 times, we would try our electric one again. Today, my brother sharpened about 20 pencils in a row. The motor just burned out and wouldn't work again. We made sure the plug was connected with the socket. This pencil sharpener also makes a lot of noise. I personally prefer the Panasonic KP-310 sharpener. I haven't tried out any of the other 5-star Panasonic ones. We have a Panasonic KP-310 sharpener at my school. It only burnt out after I sharpened about 4 boxes of colored pencils (300 colored pencils) in a row when helping my teacher. Note: this pencil sharpener has no auto-stop. I would NOT buy this pencil sharpener for the price. It's more worth it to buy a sharpener that not only works, has durability, but works well.

This pencil sharpener performs very poorly. While I haven't had the problem with longevity that others have had, I frequently break off the lead of my pencils while attempting to sharpen them. I would not purchase this product again and would strongly urge others to stay away from it.

This was not worth the price at all! At first I thought it was great. It is heavy and sturdy. It worked barely a month and just quit working. Not worth it and not a good product at all. Don't waste your money!

We just purchased this item and it is now can't be operate. It is broke and we need to return it. Cannot be use for sharpen the pencil anymore.

After many pencils sharping, the machine doesn't recognize when a pencil is on the hole and we need to press the pencil against the bottom side of the hole to make the engine start's to run. I never expect that happening after just 10 days using it.

Small in size and this thing tears through pencils and leaves a nice tip. We've had if for a month with no problems. So far so good!

I'm a teacher and this sharpener gets a lot of use in my school, but only last 3 months. If you need a heavy duty sharpener, this is not the one for you.

This gets a lot of use in my office, but still... I think it should have lasted longer. Choose a different one!

Did not sharpen evenly from the very first day. I learned to push in and up in order to get a pencil actually sharp. Completely died after about 3 weeks. Total waste of $.

Got what I wanted for a great price. Product arrive with no problems and work as adveritze
