4.0 out of 5 stars Probably a good thing to buy., November 18, 2007

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

1.0 out of 5 stars Easier to use a manual sharpener, April 20, 2008

By	S. Burch "watercolormom" (Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

2.0 out of 5 stars weak, May 11, 2005

By	J. Hoot - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this sharpener for very cheap and soon learned why. The pencil got sharp, but the motor almost quit trying to do it. It looks nice, sleek, kinda like a mouse. Great desk decoration, or something to make it look like you do alot of work, but do not buy if you are really wanting to sharpen many pencils.
