Okay for Students; Not Artists
If you are purchasing this sharpener for a classroom setting, you'll be happy. However, if like me, you are purchasing this sharpener for an artistic setting, prepare to be disappointed. This sharpener will absolutely inhale any pencil put into it. On top of that, it gives more one-sided points than any sharpener I've ever used. The sharpening blades seem to be lose right out of the box which may play a part in that. Hard, medium, or soft-cored pencils; it makes no difference. If you're planning on sharpening a premium-grade colored pencil, like a Prismacolor or Caran d'Ache Pablo, plan on watching your money get tossed in the trash. Also, before you say "Any artist should know that hand-sharpening is the best way to save yourself from this kind of disappointment"; try it. Sharpening by hand is a nightmare. That's the ONLY reason I gave this sharpener two stars. Again, if you only plan on using this sharpener for #2 pencils or some cheap Crayolas or RoseArts, you'll probably be satisfied with your purchase. I'm not sure about durability as, again, the sharpening blades seem to be rather loose by design. Lastly, the seller plays no role in this review, so please do not judge them based on my dissatisfaction. Hope this review helps!
