" ... Great sharpener - takes up VERY little counter space at home (like 3x3 i think) and sharpens those HORRIBLE pencils my two 2nd graders come home with every week REALLY well :) You know the ones that would never have worked for us as a kid using the metal sharpener in class :) Anyway, great sharpener! ... "

" ... It seems that the middle part is only sharpening half the pencil?! ... "
" ... It hurts your hand, it does not sharpen evenly, it does not go all the way. ... "
" ... I have a feeling this isn't gonna last too long. ... "
" ... There is nothing left to grip to fit in. ... "
" ... The only reason I’m giving it 2 stars is because removing the pencil shavings from the sharpener is a pain! ... "

" ... Also, the cord plug broke. ... "
" ... In my first order, the power cord wasn't shipped with the unit. ... Just after I got the new power cord, the connection broke at the unit. ... "
" ... The power cord opening on the unit is loose. ... So the power cord can’t connect to the unit. ... "

" ... The electrical cord is super short which makes placement inconvenient. ... "
" ... Cord doesn't fit. ... I pulled it out of the box and the cord doesn't click into the machine. ... Same brand on the cord as is on the sharpener. ... I have no idea what this cord goes to. ... "

" ... However, when I used it, it did not always provide a "clean" point. ... "
" ... Very easy to clean the pencil shavings too. ... "
" ... Easy to use, auto stop, and easy emptying. ... "
