I love adult coloring and have many different types of very expensive colored pencils. I have tried so many pencil sharpeners and constantly have problems with breakage when trying to sharpen them. Not anymore! This sharpener works great for my PrismaColor Premier, Faber Castell Polychromos and Derwent pencils. I no longer need a separate sharpener for each pencil since this sharpener has many different slots to fit each size pencil and NO more wasted money breaking the tips over and over trying to get a sharp point.

It appears the cutting blades are the best part of this unit, but because the face plate fell off during the first rotation, I have to hold my pencils perfectly straight as the faceplate was designed as a guide to hold the pencil in the correct position. The faceplate seems to be designed to be held in place by a tiny round magnet...and I mean TINY. I’m so disappointed. I really wanted this to work for me in my art studio!!

I have owned this sharpener for over five years and it is still going strong. I use it for my colored pencil drawings, and my four elementary school-age children use it for their pencils, so it gets a lot of use. One of the most enjoyable features is the large, clear transparent holder for shavings. You don't have to empty it very often, and you can see exactly how full or empty the shavings holder is at any time. The holder pulls out from the front, so it's really easy to empty when you do have to do so. Overall, the design of the item is aesthetically pleasing and easy to use. Like an old friend, it's got Personality! It also adjusts for pencils of various diameters; my kids have some fat, novelty pencils that the X-acto sharpens well, but these pencils wouldn't fit into other models at all. There are a few minor imperfections. For one, I find it just a bit on the loud side. I also have a Sony electric sharpener and that, by comparison, is quieter. In addition, this sharpener shapes the pencil point into a rather short cone. The advantage of producing this shape is that if you're using colored pencils that are prone to breaking, there is less risk of the point breaking because there is less exposed core not surrounded by wood casing. By contrast, my Sony sharpener shapes the point into a more slender, elongated point which from a technical perspective, is probably better for fine pencil work because you don't have to sharpen a long, slender point as often. After five years of fairly heavy usage, my X-acto School Pro electric pencil sharpener is still putting good, sharp points on my pencils and it's very rare for a point to break in the act of being sharpened. I would recommend it to anyone who does a lot of sharpening, and/or wants a large holder for shavings that doesn't have to be emptied frequently.Read full review

Lives up to the reviews. This is a heavy duty, reliable, size adaptable, easy to operate electric pencil sharpener. It also has an excellent oversize waste receptacle that is easy to empty out. Great product!

This is a terrific pencil sharpener. Being able to sharpen several different types of pencils is a great feature. It's quiet too.
