Happy
It works okay . It is a little hard to first get the pencil in try to align it. It might be just because of my arthritis.

My new pencil sharpener
My old sharpener was about 30 years old. When I realized it was dead I was upset. I found the new one at Staples and am so happy.

Sufficient
I purchased this product for home use. It’s sufficient but not good quality. Tho motor is slow and blades not very sharp. It eats about an inch of pencil to get a good sharp point. I would suspect this to break easily if the pencil isn’t inserted or positioned correctly and or the motor to wear out quickly.

This pencil sharp works but not as well as I has hoped. It will only accompany size pencil. I have experienced better quality pencil sharpeners in past years.

Sharpener
Works much better on unsharpened pencils than a hand sharpener.

Staples Electric Pencil Sharpener
Works quite well although need to push the pencil in strongly before it sharpens correctly! However so glad that I purchased as I use allot of pencils; regular and colored. Thank you for having the sharpener available!

The worst pencil sharpener ever
I purchased this sharpener and hardly used it (maybe once or twice initially. When I finally got around to using it more often the motor locked up and there's no way to access the internal components to see if there is a jam without completely dismantling the unit. If it were possible I would give this item 1 quarter star.
