5.0 out of 5 stars This is a WONDERFUL sharpener for artists, March 24, 2007

I used this product once at a hotel convention (the hotel office had one) to sharpen my watercolor pencils and I immediately knew I had to have one. It may seem costly but it has sharpened woodless graphite, graphite pencils, watercolor pencils, colored pencils and pastel pencils efficiently, quickly and GENTLY. It can survive tons of constant sharpening for detail work and is gentle enough to use with pricey art supplies. If you aren't using a very good sharpener then order this one and it will pay for itself in the pigment and pencil it saves by being so high-quality.

(What's this?)

TheX-Acto Deluxe Heavy-Duty Electric Pencil Sharpener is perhaps the best desktop pencil sharpener available for the price. It is heavy duty with plenty of power to quickly and cleanly sharpen any pencil. The sharpener comes equipped with pencil saver technology which prevents over sharpening, thus extending the life of your pencils. I found that this sharpener is quieter than other desktop models, but be aware that no sharpener is as quiet as you'd prefer it to be! The unit is heavy and so it provides a steady base, i.e., it doesn't feel like you're going to push the sharpener across your desk when you stick a pencil in it. The cup for the shavings is a little too small for my taste. Overall, it does the job it is supposed to do quite well. Now, let's see about the longevity!

4.0 out of 5 stars Works as it should, February 2, 2012

(What's this?)

This sharpener gives a very nice point and does it quickly. My only complaints: The base could be heavier or grip the desk better to prevent a little bit of sliding when you insert the pencil and it's easy to insert the pencil too far, stopping the motor. This makes operation a little less smooth for kids, the primary users in our house. That said, it absolutely does a good job and I am satisfied with it.
