I do a lot of pencil art, and I'm always looking for a sharpener. This was a decent price, and I was pleased it was operated both by USB cable, and battery. From the getgo, the sharpener had cable issues. It would work, then, suddenly stop. Even after changing my USB plug, the cable fault continued. However, on batteries, it's, brilliant, never let's me down, and sharpens to a sharp point, both colouring, watercolour and normal graffite pencils. It is also appears to be enconomical with the 4 AAA batteries it requires. It works so well, one can forgive the dental drill sound it makes when sharpening. It's easy to open, simply pull off the clear front to empty it. My only gripe, is the size of the collection box, it could do with being bigger, however, the ease of emptying makes it a very small issue. Ideal for children and adults alike, made from sturdy plastic, it is quite light, though the mechanics are metal. There are no sharp edges, and no one is able to catch the blade as it rotas as it's covered by the front cover. A young child will need supervision, as you have to hold the pencil still as the blade turns, this can be difficult for small hands, as my niece of 5 found out. I recommend the sharpener, even though the cable proved to be faulty, hence, the 4 stars, I would still buy it again, as there is the batteries for back up. Note: Batteries are not included.Read full review

7 year old needed help as the sharpener needs to be held very firmly to prevent it spinning around with the pencil. Worked great for a few days then blades became blunt.

This sharpener is excellent as I am a bias led person and using an ordinary sharpener one hurts my hands. I would recommend this product 100%

when you pull the plastic cover off to empty it there are two ver small pieces that have to clip back in for it to work found it very hard to get the cover back on .Then one of the little tabs broke off so as this is a safty thing my sharpner will not work and I have only had it a week

Bought this thinking it would save me lots of time as a teacher. It needs to be plugged in to work as battery lasts the length of time it takes to sharpen one pencil Not a good item I wish I had paid that bit more money for quality.
