We were very disappointed by this product because it broke right when we set it up and it was very cheap plastic and my grandmother paid 9.99 to have it delivered to us today and one couldn’t even be used because of how junky it was and the other wouldn’t even close. We vote this item 0 stars
Do not buy!

If I could give it 0, I would. It broke within a few uses. The battery cover would not go back on once you put batteries in, and then the cover on the gears part popped off after using it 3 times.

justcrystal - 6 days ago, Verified purchaser
I didn’t even make it though the 4 pencils sharpened. The bottom plastic of this sharpener houses the motor.. and I guess spinning was too strong that it popped the base out of place. The plastic bottom isn’t secure with screws.. it just slides on. Needless to say, I can’t sharpen the pencils. Money thrown in the trash

Should’ve taken this back when I saw that the battery door didn’t slide completely into place. Instead he used it for about 2 weeks and it fell apart leaving the internal pieces along with whatever grease inside the mechanism smeared all over the inside of his backpack.

Lara - 19 days ago, Verified purchaser
These are absolutely useless. Battery compartment cover cannot be closed after batteries are installed. Cover ended up slicing the bottoms of the batteries in my attempt to close it. I purchased two of these, one for each of my children and they both are impossible to use. What a waste of money

I should have read reviews before buying it! It's impossible to get the battery cover closed with the batteries inside. Just a terrible design. Can't even rate how well it sharpens!

Great sharpener. Battery doesn’t die fast. It isn’t silent but it’s not obnoxiously noisy. Material is made to last. Very portable! You can take it everywhere. Only thing is that you do have to press down a little hard.
Don't waste your money

The battery cover gets caught on the batteries and is a pain to get on. Then even the adults couldn’t get the plastic cover off to empty the shavings. Would not recommend.

Horrible product that doesn’t work correctly. The batteries do not fit. I tried getting it exchanged, but had the exact same problem twice. It wouldn’t work at all.
