Electric Pencil Sharpener Heavy Duty, 6-Hole Classroom Pencil Sharpener for 6-11mm Pencils, Auto Stop Pencil Sharpeners Plug in,10000 Sharpening Times, Save Colored Pencils, Black

Hello Teachers! I have been in this business of elementary education for almost 30 years! I have used this AFMAT sharpener for the past few months with great satisfaction. I have also used the X-acto brand sharpener for about twenty years because it appeared first to be the only electric pencil sharpener on the market that would sharpen giant primary pencils. I use primary pencils for K and 1st grade because you do not have to sharpen these pencils as often due to their larger writing tip! I have written a review about one of the primary pencil brands.I bought my first AFMAT at a discount and have thoroughly enjoyed it! It is a third of the size smaller than the Xacto brand with a smaller shavings reservoir, but that is fine because the AFMAT sharpens much more quickly and accurately. I still have my X-Acto sharpener, but I use it as an extra one in the classroom.2 AFMAT sharpeners cost less than the original cost of one X-ACTO brand sharpener! I bought two more AfMAT sharpeners because my class loves colored pencils, and they dull relatively quickly. I can now sharpen two pencils at a time, which cuts the sharpening significantly. Watch for specials on colored pencils to help make buying extra pencil sharpeners worth it. The AFMATS take up less space than the X-Acto brand, so it fits much more comfortably on my desk! The suction seems adequate to help it stay in place. I even purchased one of these sharpeners for my daughter, a new teacher, as a gift! Finally, these sharpeners will make a sound, inexpensive teacher gift! Another excellent teacher gift I have given over the years is a metal Rapid Stapler! Put either of them on your Amazon Wish List!

I ordered this pencil sharpener to replace an older sharpener I had from a different brand. This one is so much better than the other one ever was. It is very solid and stays put on the desk. It sharpens very very quickly and always achieves a sharp point without breaking the tip. It is reasonably quiet, though not silent for sure. I am happy with this purchase and i would buy it again.

Had our last sharpener for 30 years. Hopefully this will last just as long..

Good product to have on your desk

It gets the job done..

This is our second homeschool sharpener. It’s perfect for all the different size writing tools we use. It’s not to loud and it hold a good amount of shavings.

I cannot believe how FAST this sharpener sharpens pencils. I literally sharpened 170 pencils in less than 10 minutes. I even took a video of it to post to my Facebook page for friends. (One friend was so mesmerized by the ASMR that she watched it over and over again!)Highly, highly recommend this sharpener. I am in a small office and the only one who uses it, so I can't tell you definitively that this would be great for classroom use. But as a former teacher, I'd love to have it, even if I had to replace it during the year. The last classroom I was in had a sharpener that was used often during the day and was slow as molasses and I know they paid significant money for it. I suggest this would be worth buying multiple to cover the year, just in case. The speed makes up for it!

This item is excellent quality and I love it. Works great on my work desk.
