Review on Quality

This X-Acto sharpener does what it claims to do – sharpens pencils quickly and quietly. It’s made of a durable plastic and is equipped with heavy duty motors. The large shaving receptacle is clear so users can see when it’s time to empty the shavings. The sharpener will not engage without the receptacle in place. It also has multiple-size dial cutters that sharpen wood, composite and recycled pencils of most any size or thickness. Some users report issues with the life span of this sharpener, however, it does come with a 10-year manufacturer warranty. Overall, Amazon users give this sharpener 4.6 out of 5 stars with over 1,200 reviews.
