Title: Noisey after 14 months but still works.
Review: It arrived yesterday and so far I love it. To those stating they sharpen 20-30 pencils at a time I'd say, ease off and slow down. Give it a rest. And the included slip clearly states not for use in sharpening waxy type soft art pencils. The catch tray for the shavings is not huge, so remember to empty it regularly. I do laugh ... they call this Heavy Duty. My old Boston sharpener was also 2.0amps, same as this one, was 1/2 the size, and not labeled heavy duty. Prices have gone up. This one is twice what I paid for the old one, but it's 15 years later, after all. This appears to be high quality and should last for a few years. UPDATE 3/2012: Here it is a year later. It still works fine, but very noisey. Did try some machine oil on the gears but noise continues. I expected it to last longer than this, more quietly. ADDITIONAL UPDATE 6/2012: The noise continues and is getting worse. I would not buy this brand again.
