    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!

    It's a good idea, but doesn't work

    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.

          This sharpens better than any electric sharpen we have purchased. Plus it requires no batteries or electricity. Better for the enviroment.

                    It does sharpen well, but the suction holds only for about 1 minute. Cover comes off way too easy - just touch it, and it falls off.
                    What a shame.

                        very cheap design. The vacuum mount works very well, but the rest of it is very cheap and falls apart every time you try to use it.

                        Although the online ad calls this a "Boston" product and the sharpener in the photo has "Boston" written on it - and - although the box in which it came says "Boston" on it, it is actually an "X-ACTO" sharpener. I probably would have ordered it anyway, but unannounced anomalies like this bother me. It seems to be working well.
