 Great home pencil sharpener!Apr 09, 2007
By Beth Cholette
"doctor_beth"
My husband and I bought this pencil sharpener about 10 years ago after getting tired of sharpening pencils by hand. We couldn't be more pleased with this product--it works perfectly! We love the sleek, vertical design, especiallyl how this allows you to insert your pencil at the top. The machine sharpens in seconds, and it stops automatically with the "auto-stop" feature, thus ensuring that your pencil won't be over-sharpened to the point of breakage. In fact, I've never had a recently sharpened point break off; this product truly sharpens the point to perfection. If you are a stickler for the perfectly sharpened pencil, look no further--this is your product! Highly recommended.

 At first you will love, but won't last a year with daily useMay 16, 2008
By Patricia D. Brown

I tutor so I am sharpening pencils daily (about 10 a day). For the first 9 months or so, I loved this pencil sharpener. I loved the auto stop feature and the point on the pencil was perfect. However, lately the point is not as sharp and the pencil is being sharpened in a way that causes the lead to fall out. So time for a new pencil sharpener. If you are willing to replace annually, then you will be happy with this product. Related to getting the best results from any pencil sharpener, buy decent pencils--avoid Staples pencils--the lead constantly breaks off.

Wonderful product!Jan 11, 2007
By Andrea Friedell
I love this sharpener, and it's the fourth type I have bought. I plan to buy several more before they become unavailable for some reason. I use colored pencil, watercolor pencils and graphite and the sharpener is the best I have ever used for any of these products. Only drawback is that the small cup has to be emptied often but that's just the downside of a sharpener that doesn't take up much space.

 Works great . . . until it diesOct 28, 2009
By K. Sims
I bought this pencil sharpener based on the great reviews here. For the first several months, it worked wonderfully -- nice sharp point, quick sharpening, etc. However, all of a sudden, one day it just wouldn't work. The light came on (so it was obviously receiving power), but the motor wouldn't turn. I called Panasonic as it was still under warranty, and was told to send it to the service center. About 2 months later, I received a refurbished replacement. This sharpener again worked great for a while and then just quit. After calling and emailing Panasonic *numerous* times (always to transferred 3-4 times and be disconnected and repeated emails simply ignored), I was finally able to get a hold of someone. I was informed that because I had no paperwork other than the warranty that came with the refurbished sharpener (because I wasn't sent any), the warranty on the "new" one was only 90 days, which was passed because it had taken so long for me to actually get a hold of someone. They did offer to repair it for me for $25 plus the cost of shipping the thing twice. Needless to say, I declined. Both sharpeners were great for the limited time they lasted, but for sharpener that costs over $40, I would expect a great deal longer functionality. In addition, the customer service (or lack thereof) alone will dissuade me from ever buying a Panasonic product again. It's simply too much trouble and lack of actual customer service to risk buying a product of dubious quality.

Great Pencil SharpenerMar 05, 2004
By satisfied
I recieved this pencil sharpener for my birthday about 6 years ago and it is still running strong! It is relativly quiet and works very well when you just need to sharpen one pencil. It's one problem is that it fills up with shavings after aout 5 pencils.
