Tiny but mighty
Does what it’s supposed too. It’s high powered and works quick. It is small and can fit on our school cabinet nicely and neatly. This replaced a battery powered one, it’s nice to have something high powered.

Hello, We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and that’s definitely not the performance we expect from our sharpeners. In some cases, performance issues can be related to a full shavings bin, misalignment of the bin, or a blockage in the cutting mechanism. We recommend unplugging the unit, emptying the bin completely, ensuring it’s seated securely, and gently checking for any visible debris that may be causing an obstruction. That said, the product should provide reliable performance, and we’d be happy to look into this for you. Please reach out to our Exacto Care team via official website X-Acto "Contact Us". We’re available Mon.-Fri. 9am – 8pm Eastern Time. Thank you! X-Acto Consumer Care

Good for the price
It works well for grand daughter’s pencils/map colored pencils. Not very sturdy but good enough for elementary students.

Absolute junk.
Save your money. It says it won’t jam - it either jammed up or entirely broke the first time I used it. It lasted out of the box for ONE Ticonderoga #2 pencil. Dragging it back to return it is a waste of my time and I’ll never recommend this thing.

Good pencil sharpener
This is a good affordable electric pencil sharpener. It works great and you can detach the cord when not in use. It's small so it doesn't take up a lot of space and sharpens pencils perfectly fine. It also has a place to capture shavings for easy cleanup.

Breaks Easily

Hello! We’re sorry for the frustration you experienced with your X-ACTO Mighty Mite Electric Pencil Sharpener. Sometimes the pencil saver mechanism may feel like a jam even when the sharpener is working correctly. I can provide you with some tips to help ensure smooth operation: 1. Make sure the sharpener is on a stable surface. 2. Clean out pencil shavings regularly to avoid blockages. 3. Avoid forcing pencils into the sharpener to prevent unnecessary strain on the motor. For alternatives in the future, you might consider: - X-ACTO School Pro Electric Pencil Sharpener – designed for reliable, continuous use. - X-ACTO Classic Electric Pencil Sharpener – durable and easy to maintain. Please don’t hesitate to contact us through the official website’s Contact Us form, or by phone or chat Monday to Friday, 9 AM – 5 PM ET. Thank you, X-ACTO Consumer Care Team

Hello Inna! Thank you for sharing your feedback about the X-ACTO Mighty Mite Electric Pencil Sharpener 😞. We’re very sorry to hear that it did not sharpen your pencils as expected and caused frustration. 💡 Tip for you: Ensure the sharpener is plugged in securely and that the pencil is inserted straight into the sharpening hole. Using standard-sized pencils can also help improve performance. If the issue continues across multiple units, we encourage you to contact our customer support team for assistance. Please reach out to us using our Contact Us form or Live Chat so we can help you further. We’re available Mon.-Fri. 9 am – 5 pm Eastern Time. Thank you! X-ACTO Consumer Care

Trash
It doesn’t work. It just spins the pencil and never sharpens it.
1 reply from X-ACTO team - 7 months ago
Hello Jay! Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the sharpener only spins the pencil without sharpening—it should deliver a clean, consistent point. ✏️ Tips that may help: 1. Make sure the pencil is inserted firmly and held straight while sharpening. 2. Try a standard-size wooden pencil, as some coated or oddly shaped pencils may not sharpen well. For further assistance, please reach out to our Consumer Care team through the Contact Us page. Thank you, X-ACTO Consumer Care
