Alarmingly Huge.
This sharpener is HUGE and takes a lot of space!!! If you take 6 cans of soda and form a block 2 wide x 3 deep, add another couple of inches in height - you've got the size of this unit. Fine if you've got room for it but that information should be included in the online description. I can't comment on its performance because I returned it.

Will not buy again
2nd purchase attempt. Both times the pencil sharpens on a slant with the wood instead of the lead. This time it jammed after sharpening and started making a terrible noise. Trying a different brand

Not a good sharper.
Pencil struggles to get through the whole. Sharpener only sharpens one side of pencil

Doesn't work properly
Had to return only sharpens one side of the pencil so you would have to rotate a new pencil three times to get each side clear of the wood. Disappointing.

Power Extreme electric pencil sharpener
I had bought this sharpener for my son years back. So now I needed one. It was a no brainer to buy the same one for myself since it worked so well. It just works great! Powerful fast and sharpens great! I definitely would recommend this product for home business or classroom..

Staples Power Extreme Electric Pencil Sharpner
The second one works just fine. We had to get a replacement b/c the first one received did not work at all. Plugged it in inserted a pencil...nothing. It did not start up. The pencil hole is a bit small but once the pencil is in it sharpens great. The shavings bin is a nice size. The only caveat is that it was described by Staples as being "battery" powered howe...

Pencil sharpener
The pencil sharper is the best I’ve ever used. I am a teacher and I’ve seen a lot. It makes sharpening pencils and colour pencils fun! I would recommend the sharpener 100%!

A Teacher's "Must Have"
This heavy duty pencil sharpener is a must have for teachers. It can handle the constant sharpening of even the dullest pencil. This sharpener guarantees to sharpen pencils for the entire school year.

Does not eat pencil!
I had an old pencil sharpener that the lead broke every time I tried to sharpen. So far this sharpener has not done this.

Definitely Heavy Duty
I bought this sharpener about 3 years ago. This sharpener is a beast! It has already survived one eraser end of the pencil being jammed into it (in year 1). This time it survived another eraser end plus the metal piece. I managed to wiggle some of the bits free and metal pieces went through the sharpener, and it still works!! I thought the sharpener was toast, so I'm ve...

Brand New Didn't Work
Our office needed a new pencil sharpener so I bought this one. It looks nice roomy area for shavings but when we plugged it in we discovered it wouldn't work. Returned it for a different one.
