Title: The Sharpener Basically Eats Up My Pencils
Review: I purchased this sharpener to have a portable sharpener. I liked X-Acto's other sharpener (the Mighty Mite that plugs into the wall here:X-Acto 19500 Mighty Mite Electric Pencil Sharpener, Mineral Green, 1 Unit). Unfortunately, the Mini Standup sharpener performs the polar-opposite of the Mighty Mite. As others have said, it's basically a motorized $.50 sharpener, and I have horrible luck with those manual sharpeners, it's like every manual one that I've owned eats up my pencils (like this one). It doesn't shave the wood around the lead smoothly, and the lead gets so exposed and breaks if I use it for more than one or two seconds. If I had known this, I would have just brought my Mighty Mite around, even though I have to plug that one in.
