5.0 out of 5 stars Great in Classroom

**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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sharpens effectively, quickly, appears durable

This X-ACTO Teacher Pro pencil sharpener has worked well for me. It sharpens pencils quickly and generally has no problems producing a clean, sharp tip. It also handles colored pencils with ease and without gumming up the works. The auto stop feature means you can gently hold the pencil and mostly let the sharpener do the work (as it should). At around $30 this is a great deal.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the most amazing pencil sharpener I have ever used
Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2024
I have been teaching for 16 years. One of my colleagues gifted me this sharpener for one of my classrooms. I loved it so much I got one for my other classroom at another school site. And then I got one to use at home. It is glorious! (Teachers will understand why I’m so excited about a pencils sharpener.) It even sharpens cheap pencils (think Jot brand from Dollar Tree) and colored pencils well! ❤️❤️❤️

5.0 out of 5 stars A teacher's dream pencil sharpener!
Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2023
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!

My colleague had this sharpener and it had always performed well in our art studio, so I thought to get one for myself. Overall pleased, but I was expecting nothing less from the brand. Sure it's noisy, but it sharpens quickly and you always get a nice fine tip.

5.0 out of 5 stars 6 months of daily use - good so far
Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2024
I teach over a hundred middle schoolers and this sharpener has lasted 6 months so far with daily use. I am satisfied so far. It is a little tricky to empty and shake out the shavings - wish I could improve that part, but students don’t mind. Many kids come to my room to sharpen their pencils for the day because the other classroom sharpeners aren’t as good. I bought this with my own money and am satisfied with the value. I’ll be irritated if it doesn’t last more than a few school years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't overheat.
Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2024
Very easy to use. Has not overheated since I've had it. It's huge though, very large shaving capacity. Very good quality. I haven't had cause to use the suction, but it definitely sticks to my desk. I've sharpened two, large, sets of colored pencils in one go, without even a hit of overheating or slowing. It's definitely pricey, but so far (I've had it a month and a half, maybe two months.) it has been worth it.
