I have read several critical reviews for this product that talk about poor sharpening, weak motor, etc. I don't know what they are talking about. Maybe the company improved the motor recently but this is a solid Pencil Sharpner, that is almost as good as the classic Panasonic sharpener I used to have.First the Good:It is heavy. I have a smooth glass desk and I can easily sharpen pencils one-handed without it moving around.It makes a satisfying loud but not too loud grinding sound. It is not an anemic, weak motor. It has some grunt.It can chew through a pencil, but if you push lightly, it will stop drawing the pencil in once the proper angle is achieved.It feels solid and well-built.The Bad:As you can see in the picture, the angle is slightly off, so it does sharpen the pencil more on one side than the other, but it is not significantly off, just not perfect like my old Panasonic was.While it is solid, the plastic body does have a little flex, not as rock solid as I would like. if it dropped, I imagine the plastic might crack.Bottom line: This is the best new Sharpner I have found.I have tried hand crank and battery-powered models from Amazon too. They have all let me down and failed to live up to my expectations. But this sharpener is a quality product. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is that it isn't quite as good as the classic Panasonic Sharpeners that are no longer made. Those are the gold standard.UPDATE: I've owned and used this sharpener for a few months now. It has given me no problems and continues to work great. One thing I have noticed is that it doesn't eat your pencils. If you don't push too hard you get a sharp point without eating a lot of wood, so my pencils are lasting a really long time. That means it is good for my wife's expensive art pencils as well as my writing pencils. As a result, I am upgrading my ranking from 4 to 5 stars.

Offered on UK Amazon but without mentioning that it does not have an UK plug.Seller offered return envelope and refund, but time waste could have been avoided.

Perfect machine for kids. Both of my kids are “artists” and busy everyday scrapping my printer papers with drawings and color pencil work. I was tired of sharpening pencils for them and it was the best decision I made in getting this automatic sharpner. It works great. Sturdy heavy duty feel. Has good weight to it and does not seem flimsy. So the kids got busy destroying the remaning sheets in my printer right away😅

Nos gustó mucho y se ve de buena calidad , hasta ahorita no ha fallado
