This pencil sharpener stopped working in less than one month. When I tried to return it, the return/refund period had elapsed. When I contacted the manufacturer, they refused to replace or refund it because it had no warranty.

I really like this little sharpener, but you DO get what you pay for. Don't expect a super high quality product that will last for decades. It won't.I had my first one for 7 years before it just broke and I just couldn't figure out why, guessing the motor just wore out. So, bought another to replace it and it is working well still after 3 years.Recently bought one for 4 & 6 year old granddaughters because I like mine so much and they keep losing their manual sharpeners. *PROS:1-Cheap enough to replace as necessary.2-Batteries last a long time. Day one, I sharpened 50 colored pencils and batteries are still strong3-Simple to use.4-Small profile so easy to toss into work or school bag. Doesn't take up much room on desk or in drawer.5-Sharpens well when used properly6-Pretty colors (I chose the blue, it is a medium teal)7-Seems tough enough to handle most falls off of a table or desk but hard, high drops onto tile or stone will shatter the plasticCONS:1-Fussy product.**2-Tips sometimes break off, jamming motor so have to use tweezers to remove3-Small receptacle. Full after 5 or so sharpened pencils4-A real struggle to put battery cover and plastic receptacle cover back on, but once you figure out the "tricks" it isn't hard. *** See below for suggestion hints5-If over-sharpened, it is more likely to break off the tip that can get stuck in the sharpening mechanism.6-Works GREAT with regular and most colored pencils. Some colored pencil brands seem to only sharpen on one side, typically the extra hard "lead"7-There is no size adjustment for pencil diameters. Only works with standard pencils8-Rechargeable batteries work, but don't last as long as non-rechargeable batteries*BE CAREFUL that children know not to put fingers in sharpener as it is big enough hole for tiny fingers. (Putting items other than pencils WILL break the blades and damage the item so keep away from very young children**Often needs you to manually turn the motor with a pencil after it suddenly stops working because something jammed in blades. A few turns usually does the job and it starts working again***Suggestions: take care to insert BATTERY cover into the sliding slots. It will slide in well if you take care to keep it flat, level, and inside those slots. Start reinserting RECEPTACLE cover at bottom. Get it in on the bottom, top, and 1 side, (one side often sticks out) THEN push down on the little tab to get other side closed. (obnoxious, but easily done once you figure that out)

EXTREMELY difficult to put batteries in. Used it twice and it is now broken. Can't even get the pencil shavings out of the cup - again very difficult to remove it.

Yeah, lol, what can I say, my own fault for thinking I couldget a decent sharpener for about $6.00. I guess the'real' ones start at about $20.00The battery compartment is a disaster, trying to getthe lid back on makes me feel like I'm goingto break something, just putting it back on.I did get a pencil sharpened, but it sounds like it'sworking to hard, noisy and spins pencil around,making it difficult to hold while sharpening.I'll keep this, but do not like the color( a pastel blue, could not find any othercolor available) , the noise, thebattery compartment, the wimpy power (4 AA's),even the shavings compartment is a pia to openand close, partly due to some child safety mechanism,and partly due to the cheap engineering. shrugs.

I like the pencil sharpener. I hadn’t looked at the size of it so I had to laugh when I saw it. I thought I was ordering an electric pencil sharpener also. Didn’t check it out enough but really like it. It works great for what I needed it for.

2nd year purchasing for back to school for my daughters. The girls (8th & 9th grade) say their classmates are always asking to use their sharpener in class, so for Christmas I've purchased all of their classmates their own sharpeners. I've unboxed, put in the batteries, labeled each sharpener with the classmates name & also paired them with a pencil pack & candy.YES, like other reviews say, it is difficult to put in the batteries and re-close the battery door, but for the average person with average strength, it would not be impossible. Only if you have very shaky hands, or have a motor skill disability, otherwise it's definitely possible.

It's just like a cheap .90 cent hand sharper enclosed in a case that works on batteries to make it 'electric'. Cheap. Barely had 3 days and hardly even sharpens now. Blade already worn out. Waste of money.
