X-ACTO MIGHTYMITE
This is a great pencil sharpener! It is quick and makes an excellent sharp point. The point is firm and does not easily break after being sharpened.

I am a elementary teacher and this sharpener was used in my classroom. When it was working from Septemberto the middle of December it worked great. Sadly it stopped working in December.

Would be nice if it had automatic stop when done and not just a change in sound.

Don't spend the money
Too light weight. Requires 2 hands to hold down to sharpen and then it is uneven. Waste of $

Good Little Pencil Sharpener
Nice little electric pencil sharpener. Enough weight and suction to hold firmly in place while using.

Electric pencil sharpener
The pencil sharpener I had bit the dust--it was very very old. I purchased the X-Acto and used it briefly. I was happy with the results.

X-ACTO Sharpener
The X-ACTO electric pencil sharpener is fast and evenly sharpens a pencil. Everything a person could ask for weather used for business or home.

Works Great
So far I have sharpened about 200 color pencils and it is working great. The shavings tray is bigger than it looks but is also easy to overfill.

X-Acto pencil sharpener
Assumed it would be good. They’ve been in business for years and products reliable and sturdy. It is.

I like X-Acto products. This one not so much
This X_Acto pencil sharpener is not very strong. It was not the least expensive but does not appear to have lasting qualities. I wrote this statement as a result of the noise time it took to sharpen a pencil and the feel of the plastics that make up this product. In general I am a fan of X-Acto products. I cannot recommend this sharpener.

Returned it the next day!
Junk machine how does such an inferior product get to the market. X-Acto used to be such an industry standard!
