Bought it July of 2020, it’s now April 2025. This sharpener still works, after being used multiple times a day nearly every day by my four older children and in the last year also by my youngest two. Still sharpens, too. My kids are homeschooled and obsessed with art, so however often you think they might be using it, quadruple that.My kids have knocked it off its little spot and it has crashed to the floor dozens of times. The little tray is cracked in like eight places. The last crash broke the safety peg and caused it to stop working, but we fished the little plastic peg out of the vacuum and glued it back on, and boom, it works again. I came to find another one on here when I thought it was done, but it’s currently functioning. I thought every crash would be the last but it keeps on trucking.Eventually my children WILL break the poor tray and then I will, beyond a shadow of a doubt, buy another just like it.Note, sometimes it stops working because the broken lead of some hapless, abused pencil is stuck in the grinder, or whatever the thing is called. You gotta get something poky and spin and poke around a bit, sometimes turn it upside down and shake it, do a lil dance. Works every time.Highly recommend any product that can stand up to years of use by clumsy children and still do its work. It’s quick to sharpen most things, works on every size of pencil we’ve had, and works for both regular pencils and colored pencils. The only ones it struggles with are those awful cheap pencils that are covered in plastic. The plastic tends to shred like an hula skirt that was caught in a lawnmower instead of cutting off cleanly. My advice is to throw those cheap pencils away, or send them to your enemies, and buy Ticonderogas like an adult.Anyway, hope this helps.

This review is for the X-Acto School ProI ordered this electric pencil sharpener five years ago to use during homeschool. My two son's had to do a lot of writing for the curriculum they were doing through a college-prep home-cooperative that was very heavy in writing, penmanship, and worksheets. I read tons of reviews on different pencil sharpeners and even ordered several others that broke or quit working within the first year. Bottom line:-This pencil sharpener has worked perfectly - no problems!-The suction feet still work five years later. They do not suction so strongly that it can't be moved, but they provide resistance and keep it from sliding around.-It has survived a few small falls, but I try to place it where it won't get knocked off of surfaces and isn't too high up.-We have sharpened colored pencils in it but for the most part we try to use it only for pencils - we usually use manual sharpeners for colored pencils. It does work great for colored pencils, but I read those can lessen the life of a sharpener.-We tried to avoid lots of cheap/coated pencils in this sharpener. We have used those, but again, read that the decorated pencils with lots of plastic and coated surfaces can lessen the life of the sharpener, so we use them, but not as often as normal pencils.-When my sons were really young - Kindergarten/1st grade, I did not let them use this (I've seen kids put metal and all kinds of things in a sharpener). They started using it the last several years.-We only had one point in the last five years where I thought we might be losing power or getting to the end of this sharpener's life, but it was just dirty. I let the collection bin get too full and it temporarily clogged the machine - just had to empty it and blow some of the debris clear and it worked perfectly again - no extra cleaning or digging anything out.-At the time, I thought $30 for this sharpener was a lot, but after reading teacher's reviews I invested in it and after five years, it has more than earned its price - especially in ending frustration from poorly operating electric sharpeners, manual sharpeners that lose sharpness, problems with sharpeners not functioning correctly or breaking, and badly sharpened pencils that come out chunky, blunt, broken, and lose tips constantly. These come out very nice every time!- I love that the sharpener **stops sharpening after the pencil is sharp!! My sons don't whittle their pencils down to nothing or get distracted and run the sharpener endlessly (the motor still goes, but the sharpener releases).

Over 23 years of teaching finding a durable pencil sharpener is hard. This is the best I’ve ever bought. Quiet and strong motor. Sharpens pencils easily. No wasting

I had a different pencil sharpener that was SO loud it would wake the neighborhood! After reading all the reviews I went with this one, it’s not quiet as a mouse but it’s 1000 times better than what we had, plus it sharpens SUPER fast! I love all the sizes to choose from too and the kids love it and I no long cringe when they sharpen pencils! Bonus for the triangular pencil option too because we have a lot of these pencils that the kids love but they wouldn’t use because our automatic sharpener couldn’t sharpen them and they didn’t want to use the boring manual sharpener the pencils came with. My kids are 9, 7 and 5 and can easily use this sharpener and do a lot!
