For years I have purchased electric pencil sharpeners to increase the efficiency in my elementary classroom. Most years I would end up buying more than 1, whether I restricted use to adults alone or allowed students to use it. Out of total frustration, as my class approached the state testing, I broke down and bought what seemed the best available at Staples. My expectations were not high. As soon as I used it, I realized that this sharpener was different! I pushed this sharpener as hard as anyone could and never had a problem. It never overheated. The speed at which pencils were sharpened and the large amount of sharpenings held saved me loads of time. I even allowed students to use it with no problems at all. The year ended with the sharpener still working! When I do need a new sharpener I will definitely buy this one again.

We live in a school district that still send to the classroom and endorses the hand crank pencil sharper that screw on the wall. This is a bad idea in the classroom especially when you have 20-25 students in the class room, lined up to sharpen their pencils in the morning. The students would spend 30 minutes in the morning just to sharpen pencils. This product is advertised as SCHOOL PRO that teachers endorsed, “SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR CLASSROOM USE. THE ONLY KID-TESTED, TEACHER-APPROVED ELECTRIC PENCIL SHARPENER” so I thought it would be a good idea for my daughter’s class, what a mistake.I bought 4 of them for second grade classes in the building, and kept one for my home, as when it is homework time we need pencils with 3 children in the house. They were all loud, would only work for 5 pencils then shut down for at least an hour, and after only 2 months of use they all completely broke one after another. When I gave out the pencil sharpeners I was hailed as a hero but when they broke I was scorned. I [...] got all new pencil sharpeners, but the replacements all broke within 2 months also.What I have learned from this experience is only buy a commercial grade sharpener for a class room, ask around, do research on what you are buying, read the reviews and believe them they bought it so that person would know. I had read bad reviews on this product, but I thought that person just got a bad one, but when it happened to me, I felt taken advantage of. I paid [$] each for the 5 I bought totaling [$] what an expensive lesson. If I could rate it a ZERO I would.

Used for 3 weeks in my 1st grade classroom. Only I used the sharpener and it worked great. After just 3 weeks it stopped sharpening. Motor works and blades turn, but doesn't sharpen anymore.

    Comments about X-ACTO School Pro 1670 Electric Pencil Sharpener:

    As an elementary art teacher at a large public school, I need a pencil sharpener that will work on different sized pencils (beginner, standard and colored pencils), and it needs to work fast because I sharpen hundreds of pencils for my students in a week. This product delivers on both counts. It has stood up well to heavy use. Make sure you check it for quick sharpening: I did buy one that wasn't fast, and I brought it back and got one that was.

    Comments about X-ACTO School Pro 1670 Electric Pencil Sharpener:

    I bought this sharpner for a first grade classroom. It lasted for 3 months while being used by both adults and students. So giving the sharpner the benefit of the doubt, I bought a second one that only the adults could use. It lasted about 4 months. So for [$] I got 7 months worth, not worth the money.

        I am a third grade teacher and have been teaching for two years. I have been through two of these and they are awful! If I'm spending [$]on a sharpener I expect it to last longer than 9 mos. Even when I was the only one using it, it still stopped working.

        I used this product in my classroom. Some lasted longer than others, but I have purchased my last one - there has to be something better. These sharpeners are pieces of junk! Works great for about 60 days,then they die - motor runs, won't sharpen. Company wont stand behind warranty.

            A:

            This item did come with a 2 year manufacturer's warranty. Since you said it was under one year, you would contact Elmer. The phone number for Elmer products is (800) 848-9400. Any other warranty inquiries would be directed to our warranty team at (866) 782-9155.

            Colored pencils will dull you cutters. Writing instruments such as crayons, chalk, or soft waxy (including colored) pencils will clog the sharpeners cutters. Please do not use the machine to sharpen them.

          I need an electric pencil sharpener for the big pencil PreK and Kindergarten children use. The 1670 do not have a hole that is large enough for those pencils. I will like to know does the 1675 has holes large enough for these pencils.

            I don't know exactly how big a pencil you are referring to but the larger holes on this pencil sharpener are quite big (as big as any pencil sharpener). I say yes with 98% probability that it is big enough.
