I love having a sharpener without a wire! I think it would be better made with the sharpener hole in the front of the product rather than on the top. Either way, it was a great deal for a [$]product with Staples Easy Rebate!

Interesting Sharpening Mechanism

My son busted up his old sharpener after a year, which had a simple mechanism batteries attached to a motor which spins a regular sharpener blade.
I was actually suprised just how cheap the components that go into these things are when I took it apart, most of these things it appears arent designed to last.

However maybe this Staples model is different? I cant say as I've only had it a month or so. I was suprised when I got this to see it didn't have a regular sharpener inside but something thats more like a grinder, this means it doesnt sharpen as fast as other models.. as it grinds instead of cutting. Still maybe it will last more than a year, only time will tell if this design is better (Im no sharpener expert!). However with Staples guarantee you can bring it back anytime if it breaks so its a no brainer really.

The one major design flaw was that you have to read the manual to find out how to orientate the batteries as this information is not on the device, which is a pain.

I use this everyday at school with 2nd graders. If it can stand up to 20 7 & 8 year olds, it can stand up to just about anything!

Comments about Staples® Slimline Battery Operated Pencil Sharpener:

I purchased this to replace a broken stapler in my first grade classroom. It will not cut to a useable point; mostly cuts only the wood and leaves the lead untouched or broken. I also do not like that it uses batteries. I will have to purchase another brand of pencil sharpener, which uses up more of my limited school funds.
