    This product sharpens pencils so sharp that they break..hence….the end result is catastrophic and requires purchasing more pencils and using manual pencil sharpeners as opposed to Electric ones. They need to go back to the drawing board for this model.

    I returned this item immediately. Like other reviewers have indicated, this does not sharpen pencils evenly. It left a sliver of wood along one edge of the pencil that you have to peel off with your fingernails. I tried this sharpener with several different brands of pencils in the event that the pencil lead itself was off center. This was not the case. All pencils had the evil sliver.

    I cannot recommend this item.

    My experience also found off-center sharpening to be an issue. Even wiggling the pencil around while sharpening doesn’t solve the problem. The motor sure sounds like an industrial product. The rectangular flat shape is convenient on a desk, fits well amongst books.

    I thought this sharpener would be suitable for home use thinking my kids and myself would not be so hard on it as in a school environment. I didn’t think I needed to spend $50 to get a decent electric pencil sharpener. No matter what type of pencil I try to sharpen, it always sharpens it mostly on one side, leaving the other side still encased in wood. Then, I have to pick off the wood on the unsharpened side. I also purchased an ipoint pencil sharpener and have the same problem. At work, we have a 20 year old Panasonic, and I wind up bringing pencils from home to sharpen them perfectly and then bring them home again. So, after spending the equivalent on TWO worthless electric sharpeners and many ruined pencils I’m going to try the Panasonic.
