You only get one sharpener.
I haven't used it yet but I ordered online and thought I was getting a 3pack. But I only got 1 sharpener.

Great until you have to sharpen another pencil.
The shavings of the pencil get stuck on the backside of the sharpener. If you open the compartment to shake out the shavings, the ones behind the sharpening mechanism on the inside get trapped and then it gets more and more compacted with shavings until the sharpening mechanism won’t move/turn; therefore, won’t sharpen. Don’t buy.

Bought for a niece. I was using rewards, was very confused as to how to do it thru my cell phone. Clerk was super patient and helped me thru every step. I really appreciated her.

Good Buy
This model has a switch to sharpen for a blunt point (good for eyebrow pencils) or switch to get a sharp point (good for puzzles and everything else), and the switch works. Good job. I like the bright colors available, too.

Excellent choice for occasional use
I mostly use mechanical pencils but needed a sharpener for a souvenir pencil or two, and chose this one over the most basic model. Pleased with the choice. The rotation of the blade makes it smooth to operate, the dual-point option (more sharp vs less sharp) works as advertised, and it's easy to clean. I don't think the cutting blade is replaceable and I can't guess how...

Cute
This product is pretty versatile but also a little small doesn't hold very many shavings. It does sharpen pencils with precision very well, seems pretty durable. It is very ergonomic and very easily portable.

Keeping things sharp
I got this product for free in exchange of an honest review.
I didn't think think there was so much of a difference between sharpeners, besides ones that work and ones that don't work, and while I still think that's mostly true, this sharpener definitely has some advantages I didn't think about. For example, I find it easier to empty due to the little side door that p...

Sharp edge
Unbelievable value, versatile. Gentle feel in hand. Sharpens to a T. Easy to carry and store. Quality feel that will last a long time even with rough housing.
