Electric Pencil Sharpener - Pencil Sharpener Battery Powered for Kids, School, Home, Office, Classroom, Artists – Battery Operated Pencil Sharpener For Colored Pencils, Ideal For No. 2 (Black)

I do a lot of coloring with colored pencils in Adult coloring books. As I have gotten older I have really gotten into coloring with different pencils, some soft core, some water color pencils and others regular. Due to using all different kinds of pencils, I worried would an Electric Pencil Sharpener work for color pencils. I assumed they were different than regular #2 pencils. They aren’t. I have been using this particular brand for 10 years and find it works excellent for all my different pencils. I like that it’s not heavy but has little black grippy pads on the bottom so it stays put while you are sharpening. It is electric as mentioned so you do have to be by an outlet or run an extension cord which isn’t my first choice, but I am lucky enough to have an outlet fairly close and out of the way to where I color. This comes in several colors so you can leave it out and it does blend in with your decor. The shavings tank which is plastic comes off rather easily with just a little tug and snaps on just as easily for a nice fit. I have never had an issue with it cracking or not fitting on well. My only draw back but not enough to take a star off for is that it doesn't empty easily out of the shaving tank. I usually tap the motor part agains my bag so that the shavings that may have stayed around the cylinder comes out, which it does, but the tank itself has a lip on it that makes you have to shake out the shavings in multiple turns as if your spinning it around to get them out. Not a big enough deal to take a star off but just a bit of an annoyance if you forget and go to replace the tank back on and the unshed shavings fall all over outside of your sharpener. I've only done it once but thought I would mention.

Great little sharpener. Works great, worth the extra cost compared to other small sharpeners.

I just love my PowerMe pencil sharpener! It was easy to find batteries for it, and the seller's use instructions were clear and accurate. I use pencils a lot, and I used to sharpen them at the public library. I ordered the PowerMe sharpener because the library has been closed during the COVID crisis. I'm so happy with the PowerMe pencil sharpener that now I wish I would have purchased one long ago. Right after I inserted the batteries, I sharpened dozens of dull pencils! It was amazingly quick and easy to get them super-sharp, and I was able to do that on the first try with every pencil! It's fun using this sharpener, and now when the pencil I'm using gets even slightly dull, I just stick it in the sharpener--and in one or two seconds, it's super sharp again! I also love the cute, sleek, compact appearance of this sharpener and the transparent side compartment that allows me to see how much it's filling up with pencil shavings. I considered many pencil sharpeners before choosing this one, and I couldn't be happier with my choice! I would recommend this pencil sharpener to anyone!

This is a good little sharpener. But...I took off one star because it's a little tippy. It stands on two pads underneath, one small round pad in the back and one longer one under the front area where the pressure is applied to sharpen pencils. The back pad does not give enough stability, so it easily tips over.Also, as other reviewers mentioned, it's a bit tricky to remove the clear plastic piece in front to remove the shavings.

I'm a scientist and professor and, yes, I like old-school pencils (and am picky about them and sharpeners). Working at home one day, I said I missed the powerful and fast sharpener on campus. Knowing how cheap I am and that I would consider this a splurge (lol), my fam ordered this and we're very happy with it. Running on AC (electricity from an outlet), it definitely outperforms all battery-operated sharpeners. Even with an electrical cord, it's small and light enough to very easily move from room to room. Plus, no more batteries to buy or change! The repository for shavings is generously sized so emptying can be done infrequently. My children attend(ed) Montessori schools where high-quality pencils are the norm, colored pencils are used extensively, and pencil sharpening is a class job, and this sharpener also earns their approval. Shaving is symmetric and precise. Any down side? Hm, it's not whisper quiet, but that's normal. Great product for a super price. I should have gone wild & crazy sooner. 😉

Excellent sharpener.

First, put the batteries in and it did nothing. Took the batteries out and tried it two more times before it finally worked. Not sure what happened there. But once it worked, this thing was amazing. Fast, easy to use, and super sharp pencils. Love this. Hopefully it holds up for a long time, but impressed by this sharpener.

Works well
