Title: Shimmies while sharpening
Product review: The Good:It's powerful. And it's quiet, for a pencil sharpener. So it lives up to that part of its promise.The Bad:It's hard to keep pencils from spinning as I hold them in the sharpener. The motor and blades aggressively shake the pencil from side to side, and you need a Kung-Fu grip to hold on. I could deal with that, since the powerful motor and sharp blades at least work quickly. However, every pencil that goes in this machine comes out with one side of the point still covered with wood and the other side very deeply exposing the lead. I have another pencil sharpener that never does this, and I tried the same pencils on both my regular sharpener and this one, so I know it's the machine and not the pencil. Also, the shavings tray is pretty small.The Ugly:Actually, this is one of the most attractive pencil sharpeners I've seen. It has everything going for it...if only it could sharpen a pencil properly.
