Review: Five Years - Still Working Perfectly! - This review is for the X-Acto School Pro I ordered this electric pencil sharpener five years ago to use during homeschool. My two son's had to do a lot of writing for the curriculum they were doing through a college-prep home-cooperative that was very heavy in writing, penmanship, and worksheets. I read tons of reviews on different pencil sharpeners and even ordered several others that broke or quit working within the first year. Bottom line: -This pencil sharpener has worked perfectly - no problems! -The suction feet still work five years later. They do not suction so strongly that it can't be moved, but they provide resistance and keep it from sliding around. -It has survived a few small falls, but I try to place it where it won't get knocked off of surfaces and isn't too high up. -We have sharpened colored pencils in it but for the most part we try to use it only for pencils - we usually use manual sharpeners for colored pencils. It does work great for colored pencils, but I read those can lessen the life of a sharpener. -We tried to avoid lots of cheap/coated pencils in this sharpener. We have used those, but again, read that the decorated pencils with lots of plastic and coated surfaces can lessen the life of the sharpener, so we use them, but not as often as normal pencils. -When my sons were really young - Kindergarten/1st grade, I did not let them use this (I've seen kids put metal and all kinds of things in a sharpener). They started using it the last several years. -We only had one point in the last five years where I thought we might be losing power or getting to the end of this sharpener's life, but it was just dirty. I let the collection bin get too full and it temporarily clogged the machine - just had to empty it and blow some of the debris clear and it worked perfectly again - no extra cleaning or digging anything out. -At the time, I thought $30 for this sharpener was a lot, but after reading teacher's reviews I invested in it and after five years, it has more than earned its price - especially in ending frustration from poorly operating electric sharpeners, manual sharpeners that lose sharpness, problems with sharpeners not functioning correctly or breaking, and badly sharpened pencils that come out chunky, blunt, broken, and lose tips constantly. These come out very nice every time! - I love that the sharpener **stops sharpening after the pencil is sharp!! My sons don't whittle their pencils down to nothing or get distracted and run the sharpener endlessly (the motor still goes, but the sharpener releases).
Review: You must buy this incredible sharpener! - I don't even know where to begin as I tell you about this fantastic sharpener. I wasn't expecting too terribly much, as the price is substantially lower than many other sharpeners that claim to be heavy duty. But I read the reviews which seemed overwhelmingly positive and took a chance. Oh my! It's really incredible! I use it for my favorite graphite pencil, the Dixon Ticonderoga, a variety of colored pencils including Crayola, Prismacolor, Irojiten and Hero, and some specialty things like Faber-Castell Art Grip Aquarelle and Derwent Inktense. Each one of these pencils sharpened beautifully to a long, sharp point. I read some reviews that complained about this- but there is a fix for that. As you can see, there is a dial for different sized pencil barrels. I like the standard one- there is a faint circle on the dial to show you which that is, and I get a fairly long point. But if you use the setting to the left, a bit smaller, the point will be slightly shorter. The fit seems a little tight, but in this sharpener, you don't twirl or turn the pencil. You just slide it in and the sharpeners do all the work. There are some suction cups on the bottom but they don't stick to my laminate shelf, so I just make sure there's something behind the sharpener to keep it from moving and all I have to do is insert the pencil and wait for it to stop. The sharpener knows when to stop, and won't oversharpen! I have sharpened over 150 pencils with no trouble, no breakage. The worse that has happened is that a tiny bit of the sharp tip might break off on the first use, but that is the worst and once that happens there has been no more trouble. And I almost forgot to tell you the other amazing thing- even when sharpening a brand-new pencil, you lose only a speck of length. That's right. No more will you lose a quarter to half-inch every time you sharpen your pencil. I'm not sure how it works but it seems that it knows just where the tip is and sharpens to that point, if that makes any sense. Oh, one small tip (no pun intended), if you sharpen a lot of colored pencils, especially oil-based ones, you are going to want to sharpen some graphite pencils in between to keep the blades clean. Anyway, I hope you love this sharpener as much as I do. I'm tempted to buy another just to tuck away, but my last electric sharpener lasted over 25 years, and I'm no spring chicken, if you get my point.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this sharpener do a good job with colored pencils?**
A: Not all of them - higher quality colored pencils are OK, but the knock-off brands gets chewed up guickly. It has more to do with the quality of the wood in the pencils than the sharpener.

**Q: It mentions a 10 year warranty (in the chart) and a 2 year warranty (in the description). Which is it? Or is it both (motor vs parts)?**
A: This model now has a 10-year warranty.  It was previously 2 years.

**Q: replacement parts: I need a new shavings receptacle. The pin broke off the back of mine and it is lost.**
A: I stuck a chopstick in place of the pin. I shoved it in and cut it so that the receptacle can still go in all the way. And it works!

**Q: I have been using this brand/model electric pencil sharpener for almost two years.i have been pleased with it until now it is dull. Can it be sharpene**
A: Wow! The replacement cutters cost more than the pencil sharpener! Might as well buy a new one. My sharpeners went dull about 6 months after I bought it. Got a second one and same thing happened.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent pencil sharpener!
*by T***W on January 17, 2020*

This pencil sharpener works very well and has been quite reliable. So far, every pencil we have put through it has been sharpened quickly and consistently, with nearly zero splintering or broken lead. We have both the Teacher Pro and the School Pro; for home use, we prefer the School Pro. The Teacher Pro seems better for general classroom environments. They are both great sharpeners, but operate differently. The School Pro has a fly-away cutter so when the pencil is sharp the motor keeps running but it stops cutting. The Teacher Pro stops the motor and has an indicator light that sharpening is done. This feature has been good for younger kids and for noisy environments. Both sharpeners are reasonably quiet. Both sharpeners are obvious to use and our kids can use both just fine. The Teacher Pro is considerably larger than the School Pro. That may be part of the reason we like the School Pro better for home use. We are using the Teacher Pro in a school environment. The Teacher Pro is "rated" for heavier usage than the School Pro, but both have worked without problem for a couple months now and seem to sharpen at the same speed.
