Electric Pencil Sharpener Heavy Duty, 6 Holes, Auto Stop AFMAT Pencil Sharpeners for School, Classroom Electric Sharpener for 6-11mm Pencils, 7000 Sharpening Times, Do not Eat up Colored Pencils

Having done digital art as a hobby for years, I've been trying to do art with physical mediums, and pencils are a steady choice for me. I use a number of different types, such as graphite, charcoal, colored, watercolor-colored, and pastel-colored pencils. This sharpener's indexable opening can accommodate every single pencil I use! Some of my pastel pencils have a triangular cross section, and my AmazonBasics sharpener has a single opening that couldn't fit such pencils. That isn't an issue with this sharpener! The motor and internal mechanisms seem up to the task as well! So long as one takes time to index the sharpener's opening bezel to the correct size for the pencil to be sharpened, this sharpener easily sharpens any pencil I've thrown at it. I've taken a couple of old pencils that were poorly sharpened and shoved them quite roughly into this sharpener, and the sharpener didn't bog down or stall, and it still smoothly sharpens all pencils I feed into it. The shavings bin is nothing to gush about, but it still works perfectly fine. Since its transparent, it's easy to see how full the bin is. And the bin is easily removed and emptied. Finally, I happen to have a glass top art desk, and this sharpener's suction cup feet work very well! The sharpener stays in place, even if I tilt the desk's glass top at any angle, even if I wouldn't use said angle for drawing with pencils. But with a little effort I can still pop this sharpener free and either remove it from my desk or relocate it. I'm really happy with this sharpener and hope it provides me with years of dependable service!

Purchased as a replacement for a similar name brand unit. Found this works just as well if not better. Not sure if this will be true a year from now, but at this price I can afford to buy another in a year or two and be no worse off. It has a clean look, and is easy to operate. My kids when straight into my office when they saw it and sharpen what seems like 100 pencils. Guess this was over due….

This sharpener is the best I've ever had as well as a great price! That's saying a lot considering I've been teaching for 30+ years! I love the auto-stop feature so the students don't stand there forever or keep trying to check on whether it's sharpened or not! It literally sharpens to a perfect point within a few seconds and stops automatically. Even my students said , "WHOAAAAA!". :) For the price, you can't beat this sharpener and it's leaps and bounds better than the $100+ sharpeners that would die or stop working after only a few months from other competitors. The only thing I would say needs improvement, is the dial which is not very easy to turn to accommodate other pencils...but still way worth it! :)

We bought this pencil sharpener for home use because it accommodated various shaped pencils and was advertised as heavy duty. It has completely stopped working after having worked beautifully for 2 and a half months.

This is great solid built sharpener. I got this as I didn’t want my boys to kill the pencil with every sharpening as it auto stop but for me I push it in alittle and it stop there too. I do use pencil on wood/home projects and I hate hand pencil sharpener as I get it broken, or slanted which break shortly. So it save pencil with a super pointy tip

This thing is efficient. It literally take 2 seconds ro get a pencil sharpened. No joke 2 seconds. I love it

Sharpens pencils fast. I do a lot of wood work and the pencils are not standard. This sharpener is fast and a lot better than using a knife.

I gave it a 4 star because the instruction say it is an autostop, but it is Not.
