I never write reviews but I saw this pencil sharpener was not in the top 20 and I thought that was nuts. I have had this sharpener in my class since 2018. It is still working great! My last sharpener broke when a substitute let my kids use it and they thought the tiny pencils would not get stuck, wrong. So I have had rules with this one. I am the only one allowed to use it. And use it I have. Once a week, we sharpen ALL of our pencils and that is on average 216 pencils a week at one time. Now being that old does it sharpen just as well as it once did yes. Does it sometimes get really warm and suddenly stop for a moment in the middle of sharpening over 200 pencils at a time..yes, but then give it a minute, and it gets right back going again. It is loud, but I do like you can hear when it is done. I keep wondering when it will poop out. This thing is a beast! Seriously, I had heard about this brand from other teachers and they were right, it is worth the money. As a teacher I am cheap, but when you have to buy your own pencil sharpener and you use your own money you want quality. I bought another in 2019, assuming it would quit like the rest. That one stays at my house waiting, haha. One note, I have NOT used colored pencils in this sharpener. I heard that was not good.
