wy_kid_wrangler04 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I am so tired of buying a new one every single year because they stop working. We bought a couple from Wal-mart. We bought what appeared to be a heavy duty one from Sams Club. We bought one from Office Max (exacto) ALL in the last 3 years (5 electric sharpeners) What one can I buy that will last longer than 9months to a year??? I am so tired of wasting money on these! UGH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourcatmom Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 You have to try this one! I am so in love with this pencil sharpener. I am getting to ready to write a review but I absolutely LOVE it! The customer service is excellent, it was made by a teacher and it works better then any other sharpener that I have ever used. Worth every penny and then some! It's from Classroom Friendly Supplies Others here have talked about it on here and raved about it as well. Let me know if you have any questions.

fourcatmom Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 :iagree: I love it so much I took it with me when we were evacuated. Oh, I would totally do that to! I love the new fire engine RED color he has coming out. Oh, maybe I will give my green one as a giveaway and order RED for myself. :001_smile: While others are out shopping for school supplies, you really should consider putting this on your list.

Artichoke Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 We're still using my fake woodgrain Panasonic Auto-stop that I got in 1987. Hopefully, it has a few more decades in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, it has a few more decades in it! :lol: My husband's fake woodgrain Panasonic Auto-stop from 1987 was just retired here. It stopped sharpening evenly--it leaves wood on half the lead.

JudoMom Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Is that electric? :confused: It's not electric, but it's so easy to use that even my 6 year old can do it. I never thought I'd have anything but electric, but this sharpener won me over big time. A perfect, even point every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcara Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Well, no I actually missed the "electric" part of the question but I still think it's a great sharpener. :D We have also been frustrated by all pencil sharpeners we've tried. I'm encouraged by your positive reviews. This sharpener says that it can be mounted or portable. If you use it portably, is it difficult to use? Do you have to hold it still with one hand while trying to sharpen with the other? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sharpener says that it can be mounted or portable. If you use it portably, is it difficult to use? Do you have to hold it still with one hand while trying to sharpen with the other? Thanks! Yes, I use two hands and mine is not mounted. You have to pull the front plate out, press the button to open it and then put your pencil in and let go of the button. I steady it with my right hand on top and turn the crank with my left. Takes literally about 3 seconds to have a perfectly sharpened pointy pencil. It's so pretty! :001_smile: And for the price of $24.99 I think it's a great deal. It looks great, works fantastic and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. You won't be replacing this each year either and I think he's offering free shipping. I will post my review soon - so you can see it in action but he asked me to wait since he's low on stock. Review or not, this sharpener, imo is the best out there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Having worked in a school where we went through dozens of electric sharpeners of various brands, I refuse to get sucked in by buying one that costs actual money. We have a neon cheapie one from Staples that I think was about $5. We've been really happy with it and it has now lasted nearly a year. No plug, but the batteries haven't run out yet. And if I'm ever not happy with it, hey, I'm not out much money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverMoon Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 We've used an iPoint Evolution for a couple years now. When a relative killed it (jammed a damaged pencil into it) I promptly bought another just like it. Online they seem to go for $30something; I bought my last one at Costco for $20.

Kelly1730 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 :iagree: I love it so much I took it with me when we were evacuated. Really? That is love!;) Too funny. Well, I'm sold. We have to replace ours. My boys use a pencil sharpener like no one else I know. They actually carry our electric (dying) one around the house so it can be readily accessible at all times! I'm not kidding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSoObvious Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I loved my Lakeshore sharpener I had in my classroom. LOTS of use! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
