Returning this "sharpener"
Mostly it will only sharpen 1 side of a pencil. Returning it after 2nd one did the same. Will look for a different sharpener.

Pencil sharpeners for teachers
Sorry, I don’t have a picture, it is in my classroom. I have used this brand of pencil sharpeners for the past several years. I am a math teacher and kids are constantly sharpening their pencils. They last a very long time, however, if you use colored pencils in them, it will shorten the life of your pencil sharpener.

Great Electric Sharpener
Amazing sharpener! Bought it for my kids’ pencil crayons and it is magical! No more shavings all over the floor and the pencil lead is super sharp and ready to colour.

Quality Sharpener
I was in the market for an electric pencil sharpener because I only ever had a small handheld one and it wasn't ever good. I was impressed by how well this worked. The one pencil I always had issues sharpening came out looking amazing with a decent sharp tip. Now when my husband or daughter asks for a sharpener, I know I'll have a good one on hand for them to use.

It does the work
This sharpener sharps the pencil tip really well without chewing the wood. I am happy that the tip is straight without any curve. The device is also quiet with no weird sound. I think it is a good and affordable sharpener.

It’s great quality sharpener!
This pencil sharpener is well weighted and decently sized. It is also relatively quiet when in use, I have a 9 year old who hasn’t yet gotten on my nerves with sharpening pencils which I believe speaks to the low noise level and durability thus far. When I have used it I noticed the sharpener is adequate at pencil sharpening without needing to reduce the pencil to a nu...

Works Great
This has been a lifesaver with my kiddos home for school due to the pandemic. They are all rough writers so lots of broken pencils and lead. This has been a lifesaver. It works perfect, sharpens super fast. Always sharpens perfectly no broken lead or wood slivers that go all the way to the tip of the pencil.

Works great
This pencil sharpener works great. I'm not wasting money on batteries as I just plug it in and it's ready to use. It is not loud like some other sharpeners I've used in the past. It is quick and sharpens evenly every time. My daughter hates using the manual ones but enjoys using this one. Overall a great pencil sharpener that gets used almost daily.

Sharpens great!
The X-Acto pencil sharpener works really good for sharpening pencils. I am a teacher so I use it in my classroom and have a lot of pencils to sharpen for students as well as my own. I like that the noise changes when sharpening so as not to oversharpen and the point falls off. I like that the front of the sharpener is clear so you can see that it is time to empty ou...

Amazing!
Received this from Tryit Sampling and since kids are on virtual we have used this thing many of times! It works great and doesn’t mess up at all. Only downfall is I need one that has more options of bigger pencils but I do know they have other products so I’ll definitely give them a go!!
