5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for the high school classroom!
Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2024
I teach high school English. We use colored pencils often, and I needed a sharpener that wouldn't jam with colored pencils. I worried that this one wasn't expensive enough to do what I wanted, but I love it! It sharpens to a point, and it sharpens quickly. It handles regular #2 pencils and colored pencils. I highly recommend it!

Drawbacks: the shavings tray is kind of small and has to be emptied every other day. It's not loud, but it's not the quietest sharpener I've used. Also, this sharpener will "eat" a pencil. We all have that one student who will stand there and sharpen a pencil until it is gone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for Prismacolor Premiere Color Pencils!!!
Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2017
I use Prismacolor Premier Color Pencils, and I've found that if you use a hand sharpener, they break too easily. On Youtube, I found someone who reviewed this sharpener, so I thought I'd give this a go.

Upon plugging it in, I was a little nervous about using it on my Prismacolors, so I grabbed a pencil I never use. I gotta say, this is the best sharpener I've ever had. I love it so much! It's absolutely perfect! I've no issues with the pencil breaking or splitting, at all! Everyone in the reviews is saying they have problems with a small splinter of wood covers the pencil after you sharpen to where you can't even use the pencil, I've never had this problem. If you do, just lightly rotate your pencil clock-wise and counter-clock-wise while sharpening. That will help with the small shard of wood!

Only thing I find slightly worrisome about this sharpener is that you have to be-careful, it will eat your pencils quickly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Pencil Sharpener
Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2023
This is a great pencil sharpener. This is the second one we've had. The first one last many years and finally went out, so on to the replacement. It's easy to use, the kids have no problem using it. It lasts for several pencils and then you need to let it rest or cool down and then can use it again. When the pencil shavings gets too full and needs to be emptied, the sharpener won't turn on, which is a safety feature. So if it doesn't for some reason, try emptying the tray.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not reliable
Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2024
Purchased in Oct 2023 and worked well for a couple of months. Now it doesn't work at all, no jams, just fails to engage. Submitted a warranty claim a week ago via email, followed procedures from the Bostitch website, no response yet.

Update: May 6, 2024
Received a replacement pencil sharpener from Bostitch, works well...so far.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a great pencil sharpener
Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2024
I bought this pencil sharpener back in January. My pencil sharpener of almost 30 years finally died on me. It was a nice heavy pencil sharpener and did a great job. This pencil sharpener barely sharpens the pencils. It doesn’t evenly sharpen. It leaves a very small pointed tip not a nice sharpened pencil. On top of that, it will only do about five pencils before it overheats and shuts off. I’m very disappointed with it. This name brand has always been good, but it deceived me this time. I would not recommend.

Thank goodness for this item. I was wasting lots of time trying to sharpen pencils by hand and couldn’t get a sharp point. This nifty electric sharpener does a super job lightening fast!
