I have read several critical reviews for this product that talk about poor sharpening, weak motor, etc. I don't know what they are talking about. Maybe the company improved the motor recently but this is a solid Pencil Sharpner, that is almost as good as the classic Panasonic sharpener I used to have.First the Good:It is heavy. I have a smooth glass desk and I can easily sharpen pencils one-handed without it moving around.It makes a satisfying loud but not too loud grinding sound. It is not an anemic, weak motor. It has some grunt.It can chew through a pencil, but if you push lightly, it will stop drawing the pencil in once the proper angle is achieved.It feels solid and well-built.The Bad:As you can see in the picture, the angle is slightly off, so it does sharpen the pencil more on one side than the other, but it is not significantly off, just not perfect like my old Panasonic was.While it is solid, the plastic body does have a little flex, not as rock solid as I would like. if it dropped, I imagine the plastic might crack.Bottom line: This is the best new Sharpner I have found.I have tried hand crank and battery-powered models from Amazon too. They have all let me down and failed to live up to my expectations. But this sharpener is a quality product. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is that it isn't quite as good as the classic Panasonic Sharpeners that are no longer made. Those are the gold standard.UPDATE: I've owned and used this sharpener for a few months now. It has given me no problems and continues to work great. One thing I have noticed is that it doesn't eat your pencils. If you don't push too hard you get a sharp point without eating a lot of wood, so my pencils are lasting a really long time. That means it is good for my wife's expensive art pencils as well as my writing pencils. As a result, I am upgrading my ranking from 4 to 5 stars.

I rarely leave reviews, however, I MUST leave a review for this pencil sharpener. I volunteer in the office at my children's school and have to do lots of prep work. This pencil sharpener is AMAZING. It sharpens SO quickly, never jams, never breaks the tip of the pencil, and it is easy to detect when the pencil has finished sharpening. You wouldn't think something as simple as a pencil sharpener would bring me so much joy, yet here we are. :)

I purchased this pencil sharpener for home use and so far it works amazingly well, my children love it my husband's pleased with it because it's sharpens so quickly without eating up the pencil and it gets the job done quickly. PS it's a plug-in yay!! 😊 so you never lose money by buying and replacing batteries .

no issues with this model

I will try to be as honest as possible because I depend on other people's reviews and feel I want to help the best I can: I looked at many Pencil Sharpeners on Amazon and picked this one because it sounded and seemed more rugged and stronger plus still looking modern enough to fit in on my desk. Once it arrived I was glad I had picked it because it appears well-made. It has weight and feels well-made. It works quickly and sharpens pencils with perfectly centered points. The little rubber feet hold it in place even when pushing the pencil into the sharpener. Only thing I did not appreciate was they had placed a silver sticker on the top of the sharpener warning me to not insert the pencil into the hole crooked. REALLY ? I hate when companies put goofy stickers on products. I purchased this because I liked the sleek totally black look it had. On the good side, I was able to peel the sticker off. It was a metal type that left lots of gooey sticky on the black pencil sharpener. I then took some WD-40 and spray it onto a paper towel and let it drip onto the glue stickiness. In case you are confused, WD-40 has Kerosene in it, which is the best thing ever to dissolve glue residue off items. I was able to clean it up and now you can not tell a sticker was ever placed on it. This works on all stickers. I have even used it to remove sticker residue from products like Record Albums. Just be careful to verify the material will not react to the WD-40 before getting it all over the item. This might be something most people in the world could care less about. Sadly it would've driven me crazy every time I looked at it had I not removed the sticker. I now love the pencil Sharpener and highly recommend it.

I'm amazed by how fast it sharpens pencils. Practical, easy to use, easy to clean, best of all durable. It worths its price.Best sharpener ever!

It actually works, sharpens good and its easy cleaning. It stops when your pencil is sharpened so there is no wast. Not battery powered I don't mind that though.
