RIYO Pencil Sharpener, Heavy-Duty Helical Blade Auto Pencil Sharpener with Battery Operated for No.2(6-8mm) Pencils and Colored Pencils in School/Classroom/Office/Home(Not Included AC Adapter)

I accidentally bought unsharpened pencils for my kids’ school supplies this year. Instead of returning and replacing the pencils, I decided I probably would benefit from having a decent pencil sharpener in my house anyway and purchased this.CONS:- Battery operated, which could add considerable cost over time. A short length of USB cord is included - but it’s really short.- The shavings container is small and fills pretty quickly (To be fair, I was sharpening dozens of pencils in one sitting. The container held about 12-pencils-worth of shavings from new flat unsharpened to full point).- Only one size. This can accommodate only standard size wood pencils. (This likely isn’t a con for most people, though I know larger barrel pencils are out there. This wouldn’t work for those.)PROS:- Durability. The sharpening mechanism is a rotating cutter - not a flimsy single blade.- Pretty quick for household needs. It seems to sharpen a pencil from brand new unsharpened flat to a perfect point in around 8 seconds.- Won’t over-sharpen. The motor will continue to run with applied pressure of a pencil, but there seems to be a guard in place that stops the pencil from continuing to grind, keeping you from wasting pencil length by sharpening too far.It’s a good, reasonably priced electric pencil sharpener for easy home use. Recommended.

Cuts nice and smooth

Have had this sharpener for about 6 days and so far it seems to be working. Am using colored pencils and they sharpen just fine.

Takes 4 AA batteries. It uses a helical grinder so will last a long time. I use for expensive colored pencils and am pleased with its execution. Good buy! Well made.

This was a waste didn't work well.hardly sharpen pencils

Purchased in December and broke in early February. Return window is closed so I can exchange. I would spend a couple more dollars for a better quality sharpener.

So far, it works as expected. It's great.

It is great for small job use.
