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.

            My wife and I both bought these for our high school classrooms. Both stopped working within a week of each other after only 6 months of use.

            Too much money for something not made to last.

              I purchase this pencil sharpener for my daughter first grade class and teacher. My daughter teacher has gone through two electric sharpers this year and from what I heard back are great reviews. The teacher loves it and it's still in one piece and that's saying a lot for six year old's.

                          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.
