Great Product

This product is used at our small school. We have purchased many sharpeners but this is by far the best. It sharpens quickly and efficiently. I was very pleased especially for the price.

Too much whiz and not enough bang.

I had to return this product to the store and I was easily refunded my money. The sharpener would not sharpen pencils and kept bogging down. A very BAD product.

          Comments about Staples® Deskmate Electric Pencil Sharpener:

          I wanted a secondary pencil sharpener however, this one did not fit the bill for the price. I thought the price was an indicator of a good sharpener. This was not so. $25 to $30 for a sharpener that did not work.

                  A:

                  As long as you apply even pressure and do not force the pencil in it will not "eat" the pencil. You can use this with any standard #2 pencil.
