## Description

From the manufacturer Electric pencil sharpener Get to the point quickly with this electric pencil sharpener. It is a great choice for home, school or office. Starts/stops automatically Insert a pencil and sharpening begins automatically. Remove the pencil when the resistance decreases. The sharpener will turn off on its own. Jam-free design Pencils will not jam the sharpener thanks to its lift-open lid and removable, detachable blade for easy maintenance. Battery and USB cord-operated Use batteries to power the portable pencil sharpener, or plug it in using the USB cable, which can be connected to an AC adapter or a laptop.

Review: Absolutely worth it! - Honestly, this sharpener is amazing for the price. At only £12, it’s much cheaper than the other ones I looked at, but it works perfectly. Every pencil comes out nicely sharpened, and the 3 sharpening settings are really useful. I added a photo to show the different sharpness levels (left to right from blunt to sharpest) and a video to show how fast and accurate it is. It’s compact, easy to clean, kid-safe, and has two ways to power/use it. Definitely recommend!
Review: Great sharpener, Excellent Value - What a truly great product. Perfectly designed. Works extremely well. I've owned it for over a year now, and thought I'd write to let everyone know how good it is. The sharpener does a really good job of sharpening on normal sized pencils and colouring pencils. You can't fit thick pencils in. The user can select 1 of 3 different grades of sharpening so that you can get a very sharp point, blunt tip, or somewhere in between. I didn't consider this useful before purchase, but now i see that this is a really good feature. The machine stops when it is has completed sharpening. I leave mine powered permanently using the supplied USB cable, but it can also be powered by batteries. It works a lot better than even a decent quality hand sharpener and seems to keep coloured leads intact where these would often snap off in a manual unit. The waste compartment is well sealed and you need to press button on both sides of lid to release for emptying. The waste is large enough to hold sharpenings many weeks so i would judge the capacity good for family use. Because the blade is fixed to the lid, once that is open there is no chance of accidental operation and cutting your fingers. The plug going into the sharpener doesn't fully go in so you are always left with a bit of the metal plug showing. This doesn't effect operation, but leaves the whole plug extending around 30mm from the rear. Overall this is a really good value sharpener, at less than 3 times the price of a manual model

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good little sharpener
*by K***R on 5 January 2023*

Sharpens effortlessly and stops automatically when there is a point on the pencil. Only criticism is the 3 sharpening positions do not really work!! Maybe I've not loaded the sharpener correctly but it only seems to sharpen pencils to a point and not as stated on the machine. Please read the description of the 3 settings on the sharpener to understand what I mean. Still very good though.
