5.0 out of 5 stars Beat my expectations!
Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2024
This sharpener has been a complete game-changer. My son regularly uses colored pencils. I've always struggled to find a sharpener that can handle the softer leads without breaking them that a child can also use. This sharpener, however, has exceeded my expectations.

Firstly, the auto-stop feature is a standout. It ensures that pencils are sharpened to a perfect point without over-sharpening or causing any breakage. This is particularly crucial for colored pencils, which tend to have softer leads. It even has a sharpness level selector allowing me to choose just how sharp the pencil will be when the auto-stop turns on.

The speed of this sharpener is another aspect worth mentioning. It sharpens pencils incredibly fast, keeping my son happy as he completes his projects. What a time suck to manually sharpen pencils, or give up when you found 2 red pencils without a point and use orange instead.

Additionally, the ease of use and cleaning is commendable. It’s very straightforward to operate, making it suitable for both adults and children (under supervision). The shavings reservoir is also a decent size, meaning I don't have to empty it constantly, and when I do, it's a quick and clean process.

The build quality of the sharpener is robust, and it has a stable base, ensuring it doesn’t move around while in use. Its compact size means it doesn’t take up much space on my desk, which is always a bonus in a busy workspace.

My only wish was that it worked with batteries instead of plugged into a wall, but I'm ok with this since it works so well. I've gone through so many of those cheap crap sharpeners, this one finally works!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic sharper!
Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2024
I bought this to sharpen high-end professional (Derwent, Caran d'Ache, etc) colored pencils. Works great for both hard and soft, does not break the lead. I was using manual sharpener that kept breaking lead. So happy with these that I ordered 2 more, at a great sale price of $24. Checked both and they both worked. When the blades get dull, no problem.
Two things more than worth knowing.
1. There is a rechargeable model of this sharpener, if you want portable, order it instead of this one. There are only so many times you can recharge any rechargeable item then will need to replace, so check your needs. (Battery will probably stop taking charge before the blades get dull)
2. If the point is too pointy, adjust the point setting. Can also manually stop the sharpening, not as sharp. This sharpener can make a very sharp point. Some leads can break during use with more than gentle pressure. Try the tip adjustment and see if you can get the point you want without breakage.
After a few tries I found the right setting.

The media could not be loaded.
 This is my third electric sharpener, ever. The first one (same brand - different style) I had was so loud! I never use it. - this AFMAT sharpener in this style is not painfully loud at all!

The second one is great (different brand - similar style to this one, but half the size). But it is plug in or battery, which is great. - This AFMAT sharpener is plug in only. That means it has zero portability. It’s also huge, so it would be inconvenient. But I appreciate the size of the shavings reservoir!

I sort of accidentally purchased this one, because I got some large sized pencils and this said it could sharpen regular size pencils up to 12mm. I ended up returning those pencils, and didn’t have time to cancel the sharpener order. I figured it would be great to have a spare sharpener anyway!

I was worried that it would be difficult to sharpen the smaller pencils, but as you can see, inside the entry, there is a mechanism that moves to hold whatever sized pencil center. I worry that will break eventually, but we shall see how long they last. For now it works great and my pencils feel stable when in the sharpener. It can be a little difficult to push the pencil in, as you can see in my video, but it’s ok. I imagine it should loosen up a little with use.

So far it’s been really amazing. I’ve been using Posca Pencils with it and it’s done a great job.

It has a switch to sharpen more blunt or super sharp. So far I’ve only sharpened super sharp, but I think I will try it with some pastel pencils and see if the blunt will work best for those.

It sharpens very quickly, and stops when sharp, which is always a great feature!

I tried it with a large pencil (like half inch wide, or 12mm) and it worked great too!

So far I am very pleased and would recommend for an at home sharpener!

5.0 out of 5 stars amazingly good sharpener for colored pencils!!!!
Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2024
I LOVE this sharpener. My old electric sharpener kept breaking my colored pencil leads. Sharpening by hand is fine if I can remember in which travel bag I left it, but it's also a bit tedious. This is brilliant. The fact that it stops automatically means I can't screw this up! I always wind up with a nice point! I also really like that the blade is replaceable. Thank you AFMAT for making a repairable and very good product!

4.0 out of 5 stars Works great but does break lead in harder pencils.
Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2024
It works very good for sharpening pencils but it sharpens them to a very long and fine point. Which causes the lead to break often, especially with harder graphite pencils.

This sharpener works very good and it sharpens fast. Light weight and stylish color. I use it for color pencils and it leaves them super sharp.

5.0 out of 5 stars Up date /Great sharpener until it's NOT
Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2024
I posted my review giving the sharpener 2 stars because it sticks on the "on" position. The sharpener really did a great job so it was very annoying but could use by pulling the plug. The company contacted me on their own and has since sent a new sharpener. I would say that the customer service is GREAT! I really liked this sharpener and it gave a great point. What it's doing now is NOT shutting off when the pencil is sharp. It keeps running. The sharpener will make a distinct sound when the pencil is sharpened so I'm able to use it by unplugging the cord from the base. At times it still works by shutting off, one never knows when it will work thus very annoying.
