Okay I am guilty! The first thing going through my head was Family Guy where Peter is at work and running pencils to the nub over and over just for the fun of it. So now for the facts about this sharpener. This thing is actually really nice to have around and super easy to use.
To start with the sharpener has a power cable that connects to a USB port so it can virtually be used anywhere from that alone. It also has the option of using 4 AA batteries to power it. I did not notice any difference in the chewing power to sharpen my pencils between the batteries or being plugged in and powered.
Now to sharpen a pencil with this unit. It comes with a few rules that you should follow for best results. First off try to have it set on a solid flat surface. Next do not try to sharpen a pencil with the sharpener laying on its side or inverted. From there it is stick a pencil in the top of the sharpener and it will grind down and let you know when it is done. I used the standard no. 2 pencil in this with out any troubles at all. The last part of sharpening a pencil in this unit is setting how broad you want the lead to be. There are 3 different settings to choose from when sharpening the pencil. The sharpener will aslo not work if the shavings tray is not fully in place and attached to the unit. This is a pretty nice safety feature to prevent injuries.
If you are looking for a really good electric pencil sharpener that is very portable and usuable anywhere, this will most certainly get the job done nicely. I would like to thank ImiKas and affiliates for sending me this sharpener to try out and leave my opinion.
