    I am a high school math teacher and my students were always complaining that they couldn't get a sharp point on their pencil. Now, all I hear about is how this is the best pencil sharpener ever! The only downside, is that it can get annoying when the vacuum suction breaks and you have to reattach to the desktop...but then again, the advantage is that you can detach and lock away safely so it doesn't diappear from your classroom when you are not there!

    I didn't want an electric sharpener because I didn't want to deal with batteries and I like the simple stuff. I wish I had purchased a sharpener that mounted to the wall with screws instead of this vacuum mount. I thought it would be great not to have holes in the wall, but regretting that choice. It fell off of the vertical side of my bookshelf twice and scuffed it up. I then affixed it to the horizantal surface of my desk and it stuck for about 15 minutes, then it was just sitting there not vacuum sealed. I am now vacuum mounting it to my desk surface only when I need to sharpen a pencil; it stays stuck long enough to get the job done. Then, I put it back where it is stored.

    Not worth it for the money

    By Stephanie

    from Grand Rapids, MI

    About Me Midrange Shopper

    Pros

    • Environmentally Friendly
    • Sharpens quickly

    Cons

    • Sharpens unevenly

    Best Uses

    • Occasional use 

    Comments about Hunt Boston® Vacuum-Mount KS Pencil Sharpener:

    We were really excited to find this pencil sharpener that we could mount to a table, not the wall, and that we could hand crank and not need batteries nor need to plug into an outlet. However, we are very disappointed with it. The suction on the bottom of the sharpener only lasts through one pencil sharpening at most. Sometimes it will even come off of the table while we're sharpening the first pencil after we re-suction. It's very frustrating. The other disappointment is that it sharpens unevenly. One portion/side of the pencil almost always remains unsharpened.

          Best Uses

            Comments about Hunt Boston® Vacuum-Mount KS Pencil Sharpener:

            I am a classroom teacher. I bought this because I was tired of the electric sharpeners not lasting as long as I would like. The vacuum suction on this sharpener does not work well. The sharpener easily loses its grip. The students and I frequently have to readjust it.
