Title: A no-nonsense sharpener that gets right to the point.
Review: The electric pencil sharpener is one of those items you never thought you needed until you got one.Up until now we were content to use those, cheap hand-held manual sharpeners that tended to break more points than they actually sharpened. But with our son in grade school, and going through pencils like crazy, we felt it was time to go electric, and, so far we're very pleased with the X-Acto Electric Pencil Sharpener (1818).The no-frills sharpener does exactly what it promises to do, delivering evenly-sharpened pencils for a reasonable price. It's got a good weight to it with the added benefit of non-skid rubber feet to make sure it doesn't scoot across the desk. And, just in case you happen to be in a pencil-sharpening frenzy, it has a thermal overload feature that shuts off an overheated motor so it won't burn out. To date, it hasn't needed to do that, although we don't usually sharpen more than a half-dozen pencils at a time.
