Electric Pencil Sharpener - Pencil Sharpener Battery Powered for Kids, School, Home, Office, Classroom, Artists – Battery Operated Pencil Sharpener For Colored Pencils, Ideal For No. 2 (Pink)

I bought this to sharpen my fairly expensive soft wax (Prismacolor) and oil -based (Faber-Castell Polychromos) colored pencils. PERFECTION! Not a single lead has broken and all sharpen to a super fine and sharp point, although there is also an option on the sharpener for flatter points. Prismacolors in particular are noted for their cores breaking, but they have held up since I bought this several months ago.I ended by temporarily bed-ridden due to an accident and I spent a lot more time than usual coloring and doing art work. This sharpener was a life saver as it did not have to be plugged in and it sharpened everything quickly. I am still on the same batteries so it is long-lasting also. For best results, sharpen a few graphite pencils once in a while to rid the blade of colored pencil buildup.

Love the value, quality and portability of this sharpener!

I like this pencil sharpener. It runs on batteries so you don’t have to deal with a cord and plug. You can take it anywhere. It works very well and doesn’t bog down. It sharpens the pencils very well, it even sharpens colored pencils. In fact I have even used it on some makeup pencils. For the size and the power it has I would say it is worth buying. I have had mine for a very long time and it still works great!

It sharpens well. It smaller than I thought but it works well.

Works great!

Easy setup. We can sharpen about 6-8 new pencils before having to empty the shavings out. So far, seems pretty durable. We sharpened 48 pencils without any issues to a pretty sharp point with no breakage. It's pretty fast did all these in about 15 minutes.

If you’re shopping for a battery sharpener, look no further! I ordered an Xacto unit, and it’s getting returned. This PowerMe unit is great. You won’t be disappointed.

I do a lot of coloring with colored pencils in Adult coloring books. As I have gotten older I have really gotten into coloring with different pencils, some soft core, some water color pencils and others regular. Due to using all different kinds of pencils, I worried would an Electric Pencil Sharpener work for color pencils. I assumed they were different than regular #2 pencils. They aren’t. I have been using this particular brand for 10 years and find it works excellent for all my different pencils. I like that it’s not heavy but has little black grippy pads on the bottom so it stays put while you are sharpening. It is electric as mentioned so you do have to be by an outlet or run an extension cord which isn’t my first choice, but I am lucky enough to have an outlet fairly close and out of the way to where I color. This comes in several colors so you can leave it out and it does blend in with your decor. The shavings tank which is plastic comes off rather easily with just a little tug and snaps on just as easily for a nice fit. I have never had an issue with it cracking or not fitting on well. My only draw back but not enough to take a star off for is that it doesn't empty easily out of the shaving tank. I usually tap the motor part agains my bag so that the shavings that may have stayed around the cylinder comes out, which it does, but the tank itself has a lip on it that makes you have to shake out the shavings in multiple turns as if your spinning it around to get them out. Not a big enough deal to take a star off but just a bit of an annoyance if you forget and go to replace the tank back on and the unshed shavings fall all over outside of your sharpener. I've only done it once but thought I would mention.
