X-ACTO Pencil Sharpener | School Pro Electric Pencil Sharpener, with Six Size Dial, XL Shavings Bin, Black, 1 Count

Not suitable for use in the UK. Exploded on first use. Bit of a nightmare to return - got billed £50 for returning to USA. All got sorted out in the end, but would not recommend.

It’s not suitable for the UK electricity network : it burned out as soon as we plugged it into socket. But Amazon refunded us without any problem.

Nowhere on here does it mention that it has a US 2 pin 120volt plug so you can't use it in the UK!! Will be returning it

Cumple con lo que ofrece, Cuidado con las crayones, se me atoró uno , difícil sacrlo

It arrives, it was plug and play, and it does sharpen pencils very quickly. It has a lot more powerful motor than my older pencil sharpener: the screw cutter spins a lot faster and the pencil is sharp within a second or two. The sharpener itself is also a lot bigger: I was hoping to put this discretely on my desk, but there is nothing discrete about a giant pencil sharpener that dwarfs most other things on my desk. Not on my desk then. For $50 this is still a pretty basic pencil sharpener: some of the similarly-priced ones will stop automatically when the pencil reaches certain sharpness, but this one doesn't and will eat your pencil if you don't pay attention. Another thing is what usually happens to electric pencil sharpeners is that they rely on multiple switches and switch-activated pressure plates to function: those switches tend to break (physically disintegrate) long before the actual cutters wear out. Time will tell if this happens to this unit as well, but it has even more switches and pressure plates than my old sharpener. I get it, most of these are safeties, and replacing a nonfunctioning unit is a lot cheaper than the lawsuit after a unit hurts someone. I would still rather have something that is repairable at least, and this one isn't.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 Stars Best classroom pencil sharpener by far! The X-ACTO SchoolPro is a total lifesaver in my classroom. It sharpens quickly, quietly, and produces perfect points every time—no more uneven or over-sharpened pencils. It handles heavy use like a champ, even with a room full of students using it daily. The design is sturdy and reliable, and it doesn’t “eat” pencils like some other brands. If you’re a teacher or homeschooling parent, this sharpener is absolutely worth the investment!

Excelente producto, se acabaron las puntas rotas

This is my go to pencil sharpener. This is my third sharpener in a 27 year teaching career! Durable and well made. Easy to clear any jammed lead and easy to dump pencil shaving cup. Well worth the investment.
