Comments about Elmers X-ACTO Powerhouse 1799 Electric Pencil Sharpener Black:

I am a kindergarten teacher, so I need a pencil sharpener that can handle several pencils being sharpened in one day. This gives a very, very sharp point in a matter of seconds (usually about 5-6 seconds per pencil) whether it's a #2 or composite pencil. Works well for colored pencils, too! Love it so far! (I hope it lasts...)

Comments about Elmers X-ACTO Powerhouse 1799 Electric Pencil Sharpener Black:

This sharpener is great!! I teach Sixth Grade and my students sharpen a lot of pencils. Sometimes I wish the shavings compartment was larger so I did not have to empty it as often as I sometimes have to. Overall, it is a great sharpener. It is quiet and does not sound like a dentist's drill. My old sharpener did and I would cringe when pencils were sharpened. No problems with this sharpener. Money well spent if you ask me.

Comments about Elmers X-ACTO Powerhouse 1799 Electric Pencil Sharpener Black:

Our PTA purchases sharpeners for the elementary school teachers. The District will not provide electric sharpeners - only the old, dreadful, hang on the wall, crank kind! Teachers were desperate for quick, efficient, dependable sharpeners. So far these fit the need perfectly!

Comments about Elmers X-ACTO Powerhouse 1799 Electric Pencil Sharpener Black:

I am a teacher of 26 active 3rd graders. Every pencil sharpener I have bought in the past has lasted a month max. This pencil sharpener really holds up to the constant sharpening of my students and it sharpens pencils very quickly. I highly recommend!
