I have for years done things to save every penny for my retirement. Since retiring I have started to do things for myslef to make my life easier. I am glad I did things to save money for retirement, but some things I regret not buying sooner. I finnaly bought an electric pencil sharpener. With the perfect points I get with this X-ACTO Helix 1900 Electric Pencil Sharpener I really am happy. What a differance and this is one thing I wish I had bought years ago for my business. The old hand held sharpeners were bad at making a great point. And I wasted thousand of pencils over the years breaking them in those cheep hand held sharpeners. You really have to try this electric sharpener if you use any pencils to write, draw, or mark out places on work. Thanks.

I returned this 2 times. First time it broke after two pencils thought it was a lemon tried a new one. The second time it broke after two weeks normal home use I realized it was a piece of garbage and returned it for my money back. Don't waste your time and energy.

        I have only used the sharpener a handful of times, but I have been impressed with it's power. It sharpens pencils quickly and quietly. It is also easy to remove the tray to discard of the pencil shards without leaving a huge mess.

                  NO!! Receptacle Size = 6 ... Meaning only Standard Size pencil's. No Crayons, Chalk, or soft waxy pencils as they will clog your sharpener's cutters.

                  Standard pencils best and works well with 'decorated' pencils. Not for jumbo pencils.

                  Fixed diameter inlet. MAX (via caliper measurement) 3/10" - perhaps a little more. The poor centering may be due to this device trying to satisfy too broad a market without providing a simply adjustment on the front end.

                  No it will not, if too large or too small it chews the pencils up.
