Electric Pencil Sharpener RIYO Heavy-Duty Helical Blade Auto Pencil Sharpener with Battery Operated for No.2(6-8mm) Pencils and Colored Pencils in School/Office/Home,Black(Not Included AC Adapter)

I accidentally bought unsharpened pencils for my kids’ school supplies this year. Instead of returning and replacing the pencils, I decided I probably would benefit from having a decent pencil sharpener in my house anyway and purchased this.CONS:- Battery operated, which could add considerable cost over time. A short length of USB cord is included - but it’s really short.- The shavings container is small and fills pretty quickly (To be fair, I was sharpening dozens of pencils in one sitting. The container held about 12-pencils-worth of shavings from new flat unsharpened to full point).- Only one size. This can accommodate only standard size wood pencils. (This likely isn’t a con for most people, though I know larger barrel pencils are out there. This wouldn’t work for those.)PROS:- Durability. The sharpening mechanism is a rotating cutter - not a flimsy single blade.- Pretty quick for household needs. It seems to sharpen a pencil from brand new unsharpened flat to a perfect point in around 8 seconds.- Won’t over-sharpen. The motor will continue to run with applied pressure of a pencil, but there seems to be a guard in place that stops the pencil from continuing to grind, keeping you from wasting pencil length by sharpening too far.It’s a good, reasonably priced electric pencil sharpener for easy home use. Recommended.

Does what it's supposed to and at a great price. Easy sharpening.

Perfect point every time. Batteries seem to last, easy to dump and clean out. Good quality.

I had another battery-powered sharpener that wouldn't give me a good point. This one with the helical blade did the job well.

I bought this electric pencil sharpener for my 6 year old grandson. He loves to draw and needs to sharpen his pencils often. Easy to use! I highly recommend!

This is the worst pencil sharpener I’ve ever bought.

It is great for small job use.

It only sharpens one side of the pencil, very sharp, very powerful but only half. Some are better, some are worse. The pic is somewhere in the middle.

Top loading . Does not wander like the front loaders.. It does not include an adapter cable. Battery operated. That's okay since I have lots of cables. Works like a charm. Replaces my ancient one which gave up the ghost! Really satisfied with the purchase.
