A stylish sharpener that works well…
This machine is compact cool looking and the price was right. Particularly when I found it was on sale for less than $10.

Quick and handy tool
This little sharpener works great! Minus a star due to the size. I wish it would have been a little smaller but it fits in a drawer. Not ideal in a backpack. It's very quick and sharpens great. It has a little weight to it so when using it it doesn't move around. I was working with a manual sharpener prior to this purchase. So this is worth the $15 (approx.)

It works
My previous battery operated pencil sharpener broke. This one works. What more can I say? Just glad Staples had them in stock. Thank you.

Battery powered pencil sharpener.
It sharpens well. It is a nice size. I owned another one for many years and it finally wore itself out. I would recommend it to anyone.

Pencil sharpener
Love my new battery-powered sharpener. One less cord to have to plug in under my desk.

Pencil sharpener battery powered
It is less powerful than our last one but maybe the last one was medium or heavy-use. This new one is light use and so far works very well. It makes a high-pitched whine when sharpening. Worth the money though.

Battery-Powered Pencil Sharpener
Simple to use. Only for standard-size pencils. So far so good. Does not get used daily so expect it to last a long while.

Very disappointing. Does not give pencils a sharp thin point.

Pleased With Purchase
So far this sharpener is doing the job for me. I do a lot of note taking for two Bible study classes I attend. I use pencils because I can easily erase when I change an answer. Using pens would necessitate using whiteout which is time consuming.

Only for standard pencils
I asked customer service if it fit wider pencils they said yes but the device only takes standard pencil sizes. I'm sure it works great just not what I needed.

Does the job well
Is light weight sturdy and compact. Brings the pencil to a nice sharp point. Operation could be smoother but that would require a more powerful motor and result in a heavier product. Overall it’s a good compromise. I would recommend.

Flimsy.
Bought this electric sharpener about two weeks ago. So far I've used it on 2 pencils which took way too long because its not durable. Tried to use it again and it just stopped. Took the batteries out and there was so much corrosion on the inside. Will be bringing it back to store.

Super Sharpener
I tried rechargeable batteries on this and it did not work. Rechargeable batteries only have 1.2V. The instructions do require 1.5V. So I did that. It was amazing when it started automatically inserting the pencil. It sharpens to the nicest point ever. It even fits heavier pencils like Inktense which are very thick pencils. The batteries are holding up too. I got this t...
