This review is from: X-Acto 19500 Mighty Mite Electric Pencil Sharpener, Mineral Green, 1 Unit (Office Product)

I purchased and then returned this electric pencil sharpener. There are several things that made it not worth the money.

1) Very weak motor. If you push too hard it stalls, but if you don't push hard enough it doesn't sharpen. So you have to work very hard to maintain just the right pressure to get any results at all.

2) Even when you get the pressure right, it still doesn't sharpen very well. The point isn't very pointy, and the wood is rough.

3) The unit is very light and unstable. There's almost no way to sharpen the pencil with one hand - you have to hold the sharpener to keep it from falling over.

4) The shaving collector cup doesn't latch in very well. Any little bump will knock it loose.

It works pretty well, and has lasted us a long time. The only thing is, it's pretty loud.

It's on the loud side for classroom use--and there's nothing to let you know that the pencil is sharpened, i.e., it grinds and grinds.

But it's a tough little cuss and shows no signs of slowing down through the type of hard use 116 8th graders can dish out day after day.
