Review: Great sharpener, Excellent Value - What a truly great product. Perfectly designed. Works extremely well. I've owned it for over a year now, and thought I'd write to let everyone know how good it is. The sharpener does a really good job of sharpening on normal sized pencils and colouring pencils. You can't fit thick pencils in. The user can select 1 of 3 different grades of sharpening so that you can get a very sharp point, blunt tip, or somewhere in between. I didn't consider this useful before purchase, but now i see that this is a really good feature. The machine stops when it is has completed sharpening. I leave mine powered permanently using the supplied USB cable, but it can also be powered by batteries. It works a lot better than even a decent quality hand sharpener and seems to keep coloured leads intact where these would often snap off in a manual unit. The waste compartment is well sealed and you need to press button on both sides of lid to release for emptying. The waste is large enough to hold sharpenings many weeks so i would judge the capacity good for family use. Because the blade is fixed to the lid, once that is open there is no chance of accidental operation and cutting your fingers. The plug going into the sharpener doesn't fully go in so you are always left with a bit of the metal plug showing. This doesn't effect operation, but leaves the whole plug extending around 30mm from the rear. Overall this is a really good value sharpener, at less than 3 times the price of a manual model
Review: Plug into a usb plug - Had in my classroom for a few months now and working well. Top tip, it will stop working plugged into a laptop or computer, but does work plugged into a usb plug. Really good sharpener. Saves loads of time!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Plug into a usb plug
*by L***R on 21 December 2025*

Had in my classroom for a few months now and working well. Top tip, it will stop working plugged into a laptop or computer, but does work plugged into a usb plug. Really good sharpener. Saves loads of time!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reasonable price and decent performance
*by B***A on 18 August 2022*

Sharpener seems well made and robust. User needs to grip the pencil firmly as it operates or the pencil just soins - a grip feature built into the device would be useful. The grading feature (how sharp you want the pencil tip) seems to do nothing, but this is solved by just keeping a manual check on progress. Power is via a USB - the advice is to use a 1 amp power source but this barely drives the sharpener - use a 2 amp adaptor and it’s fine. Alternative power is by battery - I haven’t tried this. A rechargeable option would be a good addition to the range. For occasional use I’d certainly recommend this sharpener.
