Teacher Pro Electric Pencil Sharpener, Heavy Duty, Black, 1 Count - School, Classroom Essentials

Best Pencil Sharpener I have owned as a teacher! It sharpens really well (especially Ticonderoga) I like the little light that shows when it's done. It sticks to the counter well also.

I’ve gone for cheaper pencil sharpeners in the past, but this X-ACTO sharpener has made life so much easier this school year. The first plus is that it's bigger and doesn’t need to be cleaned out as often. That's just one less thing for me to deal with on the daily. But one of the best features is that it lights up and stops automatically when the pencil is fully sharpened, so the kids can use it independently without constantly breaking their pencils or oversharpening and ruining the sharpener. I trust my third graders with this and let them use it, instead of me having to sharpen all the pencils each morning. It’s also much sturdier than other sharpeners I’ve had before, and it feels like it will last for a long time. Definitely worth the upgrade!

This is THE BEST pencil sharpener I've ever had. I've been an elementary school teacher for 12 years and I get so frustrated with the burnout rate of pencil sharpeners, or how they just don't get the pencils sharp sharp. I've already gotten 3 more of these for various purposes because not only is it the best, it's a great price for a heavy duty pencil sharpener. I have never allowed colored pencils in my electric sharpeners before this year, and now I'm not afraid to let the kids get their colored pencils nice and sharp because even if it burns out in a year, the price is unbeatable. I love how it stops when it's as sharp as it's going to get with a blue light indicator. It's as loud or quiet as any other pencil sharpener. The ONLY problem is the shavings tray does not stay put. So it slowly vibrates out of place as you sharpen and the sharpener will not work without it fully in place for safety. So I just put tape on the sides, problem solved. If you have a classroom, buy this. You won't be disappointed!

I really love my sharpener! I got it as a gift, and it is one of my favorite things I got for my classroom. It works so amazing! You put your pencil in and it is sharp in less than 5 seconds. You can easily empty the very large shavings compartment. I did sadly have to tape the shavings compartment, because it would open slightly with the shaking of the pencil being sharpened. The second one that I bought did not have this problem though, so it was just a fluke. And I don't mind having it taped. The center is supposed to turn blue when the pencil is finished sharpening, most of the time mine does not turn blue, but you can feel when the pencil is sharpened. Again, this is not a problem.

Very nice pencil sharpener used in my class, but unfortunately it broke. Not sure what happened. Would love another one at a discount please somebody contact me.

**Edit #2** After my last edit (and changing my 5 star review to 1) I was finally reached out to by another customer service employee. A replacement was sent to me and is working great (we'll see for how many months). **Edit** I've had this sharpener for about 5-6 months and it has stopped working. The SmartStop feature is triggered as soon as a pencil is put inside, so nothing gets sharpened. I contacted their customer support and explained what was happening. I was emailed troubleshooting about having the machine turn on, that is not my issue. I sent a response but have heard nothing back 20 days later. **** The SmartStop feature is great! In the past I've had problems with sharpeners eating away pencils when students shove them in. There has also been no issue of points being broken mid-sharpening. Our pencils are now lasting a lot longer! The large shavings bin is nice that you can let it be for a long time. I will say that it gets pencils crazy sharp, our coloring pencils are stored in cups and I've switched to having the pencils bottoms-up to avoid all the pokes when grabbing a certain color.

Worked amazing for a while but now 8 months later and it does nothing!!!!!!!

It is fast. It is sharp. It is MATH teacher approved. Keep this one behind your desk. It is one you do not want kids to mess with. It will last you years. Keep the colored pencils away from it, and it will keep those pencils sharp. It has a large tank so you won't have to empty it every week. I got it in August, and have not emptied it yet. It is now January. Quoted from a kid - "That's a pencil sharpener right there!"

I purchased this for my prismacolor eraseble pencils and it sharpens them beautifully. I used to sharpen my pencils and as soon as I tried to draw with them the tips would break off. This sharpener doesn’t do that. They are sharper than my my old sharpener and don’t break now. I even used it on my fabrice chalk pencils and they no longer break during use. Fantastic sharpener, well worth the extra money!

Lo compré para la casa, con sacapuntas normales batallaban en ocasiones mis hijos, se atoraban las puntas, dejaban basura, etc… con esto ya solucionado y súper buena punta que saca.

El mejor sacapuntas electrico que he comprado, nada que ver con las calidades dd Office Depot y en el mismo precio. Excelente Potencia, Gran capacidad de residuos y lo mejor las ventosa de sujeción al escritorio.

Great tool! The package was delivered on time despite the delay notification.

Literally a game changer in my classroom. Sharpens in 3 seconds flat and can handle like 20 in a row consistently. A teacher’s dream.
