This sharpener is not worth the money. I just bought it today and after attempting to sharpen 3 different pencils decided to give up and return it to Staples. None of the pencils went into the sharpener smoothly, and the end result in two out of the three cases were pencils with sharpened wood but no point. The motor seemed to be struggling from the getgo. I should have read reviews ahead of time and just gone with a Panasonic. It would have saved me a trip to the store.

Can't even give this one away! Had the same one for years (don't even remember the brand) but decided to get a new one because it seemed to be struggling to sharpen my pencils. I picked up what I thought would be a good one because of the brand and because it was at Staples. I thought I just didn't know how to use it at first because it ate my pencils! I tried to slow down my entry into the sharpening hole but the pencil would flop around and leave one side of wood. It sharpens REALLY sharp so that the point will break off. Maybe if I was a draftsman or something that might work but I only want a nice sharp pencil to make my grocery lists! I'm looking for something better on Amazon (should have gone to read the reviews there first!). Tried to give this away to some family members, some who are teachers, but after they saw how it works they said they'd rather use the old fashion crank type. Surely there's a better electric one out there. I know I had one. But I sent it to the Thrift Shop!

1.0 out of 5 stars This is not a good pencil sharpener, March 20, 2010

I recently had to replace my 20-year-old Panasonic pencil sharpener, which was fantastic! I expected that this would be an improvement, since technology gets better over time, but it was quite the opposite. It takes off a huge amount of the pencil every time I use it, and it sharpens unevenly--sometimes kind of flat on one side, sometimes with the wood extending beyond the lead, making the pencil unusable.

Unfortunately, I am looking for a replacement already.
