Bostitch Personal Electric Pencil Sharpener, Blue (EPS4-BLUE)

The sharpener I am using now was bought two and a half During the past three days, I have sharpened 24 colored pencils using this product three separate times. In the third instance, it stopped working at the end, but I didn't pay much attention to Upon discovering there was an overheating problem, I turned off the computer As soon as I put it away, I dumped the shavings in it, and it did not work. I tried to use it today, but it did There is no action. No sound is made or no attempt is made to turn the wheel. The device is plugged in (it is, but it looks unplugged). To make sure that it was not an outlet issue, I tried three of them. There was no problem with other devices using the outlets. There is not much time left for the "return window" since it has been more than 30 days since my purchase. So soon after starting using it, it stopped working. I could not have predicted that. After just a few uses, I now have a device that cannot be used. Make the right choice by spending a little more on something that will last, the present.

The pencil sharpener we used to sharpen the pencils died after sharpening 20 pencils. Our company became curious as to what happened so we called them. The employees told us that the pencil sharpener is for kids, that it's unable to handle high capacities (20 pencils is a high In your opinion, it can only be used in classrooms (which isn't high capacity?)? Those are all things that could have helped a buyer decide whether to buy it. To get it to cool off we had to unplug it. I tried it two days ago, but still it does not work. I find it very irritating.

This is not the case! Furthermore, if one wants to open the container that holds pencil shavings, one will need a tiny screwdriver. In this case, you need a screwdriver to empty it when it is full. Mine already have a lot of corrosion on the screws. I expect that this sharpener will last only for a short time! There is no way to explain how disappointed I am!.

It is appropriate for two of my kids (7 and 9), who use it at home. I haven't really put it to serious use until my kids had to take it online after being confined to the house by a pandemic. In the early part of the week, I asked my son to sharpen about 10 pencils and the device would not start. The light would not indicate whether or not it was on. The sound is not working. There is nothing. At first, I thought it was the socket, but it turned out to be a different socket. It produces the same results. No sound, no rotating. This is terrible! Next, I tried to clean the sharpener by taking out a few stuck shavings(not much), but it turned out it was not working. As I never expected to need to buy another sharpener at this point in time, this has been a terrible experience for me. It is too late for me to return the items, so I'm stuck. This product would not be worth a penny to me. Take care!.

I'm glad I bought it. This is the perfect size for your desk or counter top. This app works like a charm! Very convenient to use. My preferred method of writing is with pens for writing letter, notes, etc. , and with pencils for my daily tasks.
I need to sharpen a considerable number of pencils in a given period of time. I have found this to be an advantage to my family. As long as I keep all of them sharpened, I can use them frequently without worrying about the point being blunt. The tool is also easy to use, not noisy, and does not eat your pencil to the point of nil like some other models and brands In addition, I would recommend it to anyone who needs one and will purchase it again in the future.

However, I dislike having to act petty when Stanley's products have defects. BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK, AS YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!.

an English teacher of high school students so having a sharpener on hand is a necessity. Initially, I was smitten with this, since it worked quickly, the color was cool, and the sharpening process was smooth and fast. I have been on the medium-low for about a month now A heavy use of it caused it to stop functioning. The device will start sharpening the pencils but will cease intermittently, making the pencil worse than it was The unfortunate thing for me is that it is out of warranty so I cannot return it and will have to buy more supplies myself.

Placement should always be done with care. This sharpener is a favorite of my children. This sharpener is faster and more effective than the ones I use in the classroom. As a teacher, I usually required my biological children to sharpen ten pencils every two weeks or so with my heavy duty sharpeners in the class. The tiny pocket sharpeners they had on hand provided them with an interim solution. We didn't get along so well with that. It was impossible to keep up with art projects and homework whenever it came to sharpened pencils. A sharpener at home has always been a source of concern for me because of the danger it posed for my three-year old child. It is a precocious, bold girl who is too good for her own good. *** (Big bonus) is that the opening for the pencil is too short and too deep for her little fingers anyway to fit inside the sharpener. My hubby and I settled on the top of our highest bedroom dresser for the sharpener, however. It's a relief to hear this. For parents like us who are in the worst case scenario. The other children are older and need it more. This activity would also be used on my school grounds with my students. But in an area where the traffic or usage is low (such as a quiet area in an art or writing center, or at my table for my guided small groups). There is less space in the classroom than in a standard classroom. As a result, the shards reservoir is small and would have to be dumped frequently. However, just as powerful as its bigger counterpart.
