Design Flaw w/ Shavings Cup

I am so mad I purchased this pencil sharpener. As another reviewer states in the reveiws, there is a design flaw with the shavings cup staying in. The sharpener has a safety feature that when the shavings cup is removed, it will not sharpen pencils. After the first time I removed the cup to empty the shavings ( a while after I got it) It would never go back in properly. Now I have to push the cup in, and Hold It in, EVERY TIME I need to sharpen a pencil. If I dont hold/push it in, it won't work at all. This makes it a hassle for me & VERY difficult, almost confusing for my children to use.

Teacher Approved!

I am a first grade teacher to 25 students. This is the best pencil sharpener I have purchased so far. Within 3 months my students have managed to break three sharpeners. This one has been awesome! It sharpens the pencil very sharp like the hand crank ones. I love it. There is a light that comes on for the students to know when it is sharp. Great product and great value!

Quality Product

Our family has used the Royal Electric Pencil Sharpener since the beginning of the 2011-2012 school year. It offers a few size options to fit the pencil you need to sharpen. And the sensor will light up when it's sharpened. My kids love to use it. (The only drawback I can think of ... when I pull it across the counter toward me, the shavings tray comes out easily. So I just push it toward me instead.) When my child's teacher was in need of one for the classroom, I didn't hesitate to recommend this model. I ordered one as an early "teacher appreciation" gift for the classroom. They love it!

Nice and Royal

It is a nice pencil sharpener. I like the fact that it has sharpener opening on top and it has a slide out emptying tray. I think that the tray could have been bigger and the motor more powerful. But overall for what I paid for it it is a good deal and meets my needs in my personal home office. I wouldn't recommend it for a business that would use it a lot more often than I do at home. Royal is a good brand, the main reason why I chose it. I had a Royal in the past and was really happy with it until my daughter decided to put a crayon it an ruined it. This was a replacement.

Great pencil sharpener for the money

I bought two of these at my local Sam's store - one for my own office, and one for a 3rd grade teacher. The one at my office works perfectly. I've used it 5 weeks now. My colored drafting pencils are sharpened to a nice point with no excess waste due to the sharp indicator light. It's small and has a tiny little pencil holder on the side that is convenient. The one at the school... It's only been in use for 2 full weeks, but the teacher LOVES it! I've had 3 other teachers ask where I got it. The only reason that I am not giving it 5 stars for quality is that I wish that the shavings container held more. You have to empty it fairly often to prevent the shavings from getting high enough to interfere with the function. As for value, I've bought more expensive pencil sharpeners that didn't work nearly as well. I have sharpened hundreds of pencils as a volunteer at an elementary school, so I've tried a LOT of pencil sharpeners. I have read the bad reviews, and may have to adjust this review in the future. However, for now, I'm 100% satisfied with this product.

Great Buy!

I am a teacher and sharpen many pencils per day. This sharpener has proven to me to be a winner. It even allows me to sharpen large size pencils with its multiple size pencil hole. This unitworked so well I recomended it to all my colleagues as well as bought one for home.

Not Worth It

I bought this pencil sharpener in October 2012. Within about 2 months, I noticed that my pencils were not getting sharpened. I use the sharpener everyday to sharpen 2 or 3 pencils for my 8 year old son. So not a lot of wear and tear on the product. I also noticed that after not using the sharpener for a while (I went back to using the one I had before which was loud and not a very good sharpener), it started sharpening my pencils again. Now it is April 2013 and I am back to the sharpener not sharpening pencils. I can no longer deal with this merry-go-round sharpener and I am shopping for a new one. The sharpener is nice and quiet, but not reliable at all even for someone who minimally uses it.

Best Pencil Sharpener!!

All of the third grade teachers at our school purchased this pencil sharpener and we are SO glad. It has drastically shortened the amount of time we spend sharpening pencils. This sharpener is so quiet and fast! We also love the red light that tells you when the pencil is finished! This is a fabulous product!

I have had this pencil sharpner for exactly two days, and it has given out. A total waste of $32.00.
