I LOVE my electric pencil sharpener
I should have bought this ages ago! So easy to use and I love my perfectly sharp pointed pencils when using it!

Something’s Wrong
Opened the new box, read instructions, plugged it in and it would not put a point on 4 different pencils without stalling out…I returned it for a full refund.

Works great
I like that it is vertical, so it takes up less room on my desk, and stops when the pencil is sharp.

Broke After One Day
I ordered two of these for our production floor and they brought it back the next day because it had already stopped working. Very disappointed!

Best Sharpener
This sharpener is the best. It sharpens each and every time. It survives even the most aggressive sharpener-person. It does not accept crayons, though. I purchased two for my classroom because they are a powerhouse while my other sharpeners are in the classroom graveyard.

The style of pencil sharpener is just perfect. It works perfectly fine and is easy to empty out.

Good sharpener
X-Acto Powerhouse is easy/simple to use and does a good job. Can’t ask for more than that.

It is what X-ACTO says: powerful.
Limitation is only one diameter pencil. Does a very good point.

Works great!
We had a low use X-ACTO sharpener that lasted just over a year- we used it a lot! Now we're trying their heavy duty one.

Great blade!
This pencil sharpener has a really heavy rotating blade that will last a long time. It works well in sharpening my pencils.

This X-ACTO pencil sharpener was used once and then it didn't work again. This is not a good product.

Lasts a year
These sharpeners last a year in a classroom if the teacher mostly sharpens pencils for kids.
