POWERME Battery-Operated Electric Pencil Sharpener for Kids, School, Home, Office - for No. 2 Pencils and Colored Pencils

I bought this to sharpen my fairly expensive soft wax (Prismacolor) and oil -based (Faber-Castell Polychromos) colored pencils. PERFECTION! Not a single lead has broken and all sharpen to a super fine and sharp point, although there is also an option on the sharpener for flatter points. Prismacolors in particular are noted for their cores breaking, but they have held up since I bought this several months ago. I ended by temporarily bed-ridden due to an accident and I spent a lot more time than usual coloring and doing art work. This sharpener was a life saver as it did not have to be plugged in and it sharpened everything quickly. I am still on the same batteries so it is long-lasting also. For best results, sharpen a few graphite pencils once in a while to rid the blade of colored pencil buildup.

Bought in 2019 and it's lasted for 7 years and was doing great until I dropped it and part of the plastic shaving holder broke. Purchasing it again!

I do a lot of coloring with colored pencils in Adult coloring books. As I have gotten older I have really gotten into coloring with different pencils, some soft core, some water color pencils and others regular. Due to using all different kinds of pencils, I worried would an Electric Pencil Sharpener work for color pencils. I assumed they were different than regular #2 pencils. They aren’t. I have been using this particular brand for 10 years and find it works excellent for all my different pencils. I like that it’s not heavy but has little black grippy pads on the bottom so it stays put while you are sharpening. It is electric as mentioned so you do have to be by an outlet or run an extension cord which isn’t my first choice, but I am lucky enough to have an outlet fairly close and out of the way to where I color. This comes in several colors so you can leave it out and it does blend in with your decor. The shavings tank which is plastic comes off rather easily with just a little tug and snaps on just as easily for a nice fit. I have never had an issue with it cracking or not fitting on well. My only draw back but not enough to take a star off for is that it doesn't empty easily out of the shaving tank. I usually tap the motor part agains my bag so that the shavings that may have stayed around the cylinder comes out, which it does, but the tank itself has a lip on it that makes you have to shake out the shavings in multiple turns as if your spinning it around to get them out. Not a big enough deal to take a star off but just a bit of an annoyance if you forget and go to replace the tank back on and the unshed shavings fall all over outside of your sharpener. I've only done it once but thought I would mention.

I bought this and used it occassionally for my drawing pencils for almost 5 years. ( I mostly use ink) The motor still works, but the sharpener is now wonky (moves around off-balance) and it no longer works. I hate to send anything to the landfill. Giving this a 4 for 5 years, but -1 due to the fact that it will end up in a landfill too soon. I may do some surgery on it to see if it is fixable. And I will be going back to my little hand held sharpeners.

Great sharpener for regular (#2) size pencils and smaller, sharpens perfect. However, be aware the opening is not large enough to load larger diameter pencils sometimes used by little ones. It's great that its battery operated and can be used anywhere. It has an easy see thru pencil shavings case, so you know when it full which easily snaps off and on to dispose of the shavings.

Work’s very fast! Heavy works without moving. very stable.

I had an older electric pencil sharpener that I bought several years ago that never seemed to accurately work. It would chew up half my pencils and I'd have to push the pencil in really hard to get half of a point....Then I bought this beauty! (cue Price Is Right Showcase music here). It's compact. It's light weight. It's portable. It's well built... AND It sharpens REALLY well! Holla... If you too are closet type A and ya know what I mean! I shuttle mine between two writing spaces. Yeah,Yeah, I know, It's JUST a pencil sharpener; but for one like myself, with multiple shades and boxes of colored pencils, (pardon me, my type A is showing) it's about 5 seconds of pencil sharpening happiness! 2018 style...not the 1970's old school desk top or wall mounted crank model...but I digress. Love this gadget! You will too! On another happy note, vendor customer service was awesome. The owner emailed me the day my product arrived to make sure shipping was quick and the product arrived in tact! UPDATE: So the battery life is FAB! Bought my first sharpener in Nov 2018...it's April 2019 people...I use this product at least 3 -4 times a day... and yeah...the reaction time is slow...but it still has power... Bought the second sharpener to have one in my craft room...because who wants to run up and down the stairs every time you want a fresh point :/ Now if you'll excuse me...my pencils are calling!

Perfect desk top pencil sharpener.
