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!
I am 78 years old, and this is the first pencil sharpener I've found, owned and used that really works. It's fast, accurate and really gives an excellent result. It also looks awesomely attractive. This is my first review for any of Amazon's exceptional products. I even am thinking about buying several more of these and giving them to my friends at Christmas time. You'll really be happy getting one of these.......Richard
De buena resistencia, hace muy bien su trabajo y no desperdicia material. Las puntas son robustas y permite manejabilidad.
This pencil sharpener works better than the Bostitch pencil sharpener provided by the school I work at. Only down side is the compartment for pencil shaving is to small.
El artículo se ajusta a mis necesidades y cumple con mis espectativas. Por supuesto, no puedo calificar durabilidad por ser un objeto que apenas comienzo a usar.
I bought this as a valentines day gift, my 6 & 4yr old LOVE IT. This is much easier, faster, and more satisfying than using a plastic manual one. Plus all the different hole sizes are great for the various fun/weird sizes of pencils we have.
Really great pencil sharpener. I love that it stops when the pencil is sharp enough! Great quality.
