Negative Positive
Title: poor design
Review: Bought this sharpener for my art classroom. Worked great initially. However, as another reviewer stated, it is hard to tell when the sharpener is full and will end up with shavings pushed waaaaaay up into the mechanism. More importantly though, the sharpener only works when a little plastic piece is insterted at the inside-back of the sharpener. This piece is not permanently attached to the sharpener and if it should fall out and get lost (which is very easy to do when emptying the sharpener), there is no way to get the sharpener to work ever again. I tried "macGivering" the machine a few time...sometimes with success...but I have now given up and am faced with spending more money on a new sharpener.
Is the review positive or negative?
