Comments about Elmers X-ACTO Powerhouse 1792 Electric Pencil Sharpener Blue:

The kids in my daughter's 4th grade class were so excited to finally have a new pencil sharpener! The teacher even commented how they are improving in penmanship since getting the new sharpener as a gift from my family. Regrettably, a month after having it, one of the two I purchased has broken. Overall, it is a great sharpener for the money.

Comments about Elmers X-ACTO Powerhouse 1792 Electric Pencil Sharpener Blue:

It started out well- quiet and efficient- but didn't even last 2 months in my classroom. Motor became noisy and pencils sharpened unevenly, then not at all. We used only no.2 pencils, and sharpened about a dozen a day. AWFUL, would not purchase again.

Comments about Elmers X-ACTO Powerhouse 1792 Electric Pencil Sharpener Blue:

I have used X-acto knives for years and assumed the pencil sharpener would be of the same high quality. But after very little use, the grinder mechanism moved out of position to where it had to be shaken back into position to use. Shortly there after the sharpener stopped working altogether. The previous model by another company lasted 30 years under much heavier usage, while I didn't get more than 18 months under very light usage with this E-xacto model. On a general note, the front loaded sharpener would slide away from you when you pushed a pencil into it to sharpen. The feet on the E-xacto were not of a design that would adhere to the desk surface like my previous sharpener. I wish I had read the reviews before I bought it. Don't waste your money on this one.

Comments about Elmers X-ACTO Powerhouse 1792 Electric Pencil Sharpener Blue:

I went through 2 of these pencil sharpeners in my classroom in a matter a several months. We did not use colored pencils in this sharpener, only #2 lead pencils. After returning the first one, that stopped sharpening, the second item failed within 3 months. I will never buy this brand sharpener again. I definitely do not recommend this sharpener to teachers or for anyone who is only using it for personal occasional use.
