This was used in a classroom and used only 5 months when the plastic drive shaft broke and could not be repaired. It worked OK while it was working, but died an early death.

Even though this product was called "heavy use", it broke after 3 months of 1 person use. Motor died. I went to website and there is no warranty for this product. rip-off!

I'm a Math teacher. Had this for about 4-5 months and the motor died suddenly. We averaged about 5-8 pencils a day. If this is heavy duty, it should have been able to take on the job. Total waste of my own money.
