- Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2025Color: BlueVerified PurchaseI use colored pencils on a few different projects and have been frustrated with the poor job my pencil sharpener was doing. Finally, I decided to try a new sharpener and this one is awesome. Nice size and weight and works like a charm. Doesn't leave any rough edges and sharpens clean and to the point every time. Just plugged in the cord and I was ready to go. I just sat and sharpened my whole stash. Would definitely recommend.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2025Color: RedVerified PurchaseI bought this pencil sharpener for my office (I work in a school). It does what you'd expect a pencil sharpener to do. It sharpens pencils quickly and effortlessly and doesn't take up much space. The power cord is of acceptable (if a little short) length and the bin for the shavings is generous.
So far I've had it for a few years now, and it's still plugging along, so it seems that it's quite reliable.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2024Color: BlueVerified PurchaseMy pencil sharpeners have needed replacing for years and this Bostitch model has all the features I need at a reasonable price. I tried sharpening several of my dull or broken points and some new #2 pencils and it performed well. Then I tried sharpening a watercolor pencil and the point broke off and is stuck inside. After that it did not make as good a point.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2025Color: ChromeVerified PurchaseThis little dynamo sharpens pencils in quantity! Perfect for schoolroom or office or church. I love mine!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2025Color: BlueVerified PurchaseThis sharpener is fast, and effective. It has a slim body that does not take up lots of space. No pencils are being chewed up and waisted.
Much better than the battery ones.
Highly recommend we have 2 one for home and office
- Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2025Color: BlueVerified PurchaseThe Bostitch Office Personal Electric Pencil Sharpener is a compact yet powerful tool for anyone who values efficiency and precision. This sharpener is perfect for both home and office use, offering a fast and consistent sharpening experience. It handles standard-sized pencils with ease, delivering a smooth, evenly pointed tip every time.
The motor runs quietly, which is a big plus for shared spaces, and the sharpener’s small footprint makes it easy to store on a desk or shelf. The safety feature that prevents operation when the shavings tray is removed is a thoughtful touch, especially for households with children.
The shavings tray is easy to empty, though it could hold a bit more before needing to be cleared. It’s also sturdy and well-built, giving the impression it’ll last for years with regular use.
Overall, this sharpener is a reliable, efficient, and affordable option for keeping pencils perfectly sharpened!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2025Color: BlueVerified PurchaseI found the sharpening hole of this device quite easy because it is placed right in front of the small machine. I took my pencil and inserted it into that hole. It began grinding away. After a short time, I removed it and noticed the pencil now had a keen point. It appears to work as advertised, turning my slender wand crafted from a humble union of wood and graphite into a tool that was ready to transform blank pages into realms of imagination, allowing my thoughts to dance and ideas to take shape with every stroke until such time as I repeat the process with the ease I first experienced.
