  • Works great Works great
You'll need 4 AA batteries. It's not too noisy and is right size for regular olden school pencils. It gives the long sharp point like a wooden draftsman pencil would have and gives a smooth finish. If I'm drawing I keep it near me. It works good od color pencils because it's got a barrel type sharpener and not one of those broken razor blade sharpeners. Haven't had it long enough to tell you how long it will last but it seems well built, and easy to use. ... show more

  • Makes darts for tips!
The sharpener its self does a great job, makes darts for tips! Perfect for using doing finished carpentry. The machines maybe a defect. Plug doesnt plug all the way . And works when it wants to. Returned it. We'll see if the next one works better Update:! 10 minutes after I wrote this, I submitted my exchange request, and replacements being sent, should get tomorrow. Bumped my rating from 3 to 5. Great customer service ... show more

  • nice and i like portable option
Love that this sharpener is also portable. I also like that there are different settings on it. Some of the pencils did not sharpen, but majority of them did. I think there is a certain wood pencils that it can't shave down, but the generic crayola pencils were easy to sharpen.

  • Works great with regular pencils and Prismacolor Works great with regular pencils and Prismacolor
I was looking for an electric pencil sharpener for my Prismacolor and other pencils in general that would produce a fine, consistent point. The official Prismacolor sharpener does a good job, but I felt like I wanted something faster and more precise. Then I came across with this Amazon basics pencil sharpener. Using it is very satisfying, you simply insert the pencil holding it firmly and it yields a perfect point. I don't notice a huge difference between the various point thickness settings, though there is a noticeable slight variation. it's included a usb cable for power but I love that it also can run on four AA batteries; I simply popped in some rechargeable Eneloop batteries and it works great without any cables getting in the way. Great purchase. ... show more

  • Very Good For The Price
This is a very good value. I sharpen pencils every day for watercolor painting. It works on woodless watercolor pencils and standard tyoe #2's Holds it's charge a very long time and grinds them down to a very fine point.

  • Great quality and works perfectly
Very sturdy and well-made, exactly as described. Easy to use and does the job efficiently without any issues. Definitely a reliable product and worth the price.

  • Works ok
Works not the best unit but does the job. Randomly stops thinking the pencil is sharp enough, you just have to re-engage to sharpen again.
