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!

Easy to Use
It works very well. I like pencil sharpeners vertical sharpening chamber more than those that are somewhat horizontal since the angle means that a pencil could be removed in a way that might break the point. Using a vertical one has the ‘feel’ of an old-fashioned ink pot.

Electric sharpener
Had this sharpener for 3 year.My 4 kids use it on rotation and never had an issue yet. It’s a bit noisy when sharpening and it can get kind of tricky and confusing to empty the sharpened compartment but overall it’s not bad .

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

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.

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.

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