This is a high-end luster photo paper. View larger. Trim, Portable, and Reliable This battery-powered sharpener offers a thin profile that's easy to tuck in your bag on the way to class or the office, so you never get held up in the middle of a task by a broken or dull pencil. Dependable, hardened steel blades ensure a perfect 16-degree point on each pencil you sharpen. And a heavy-duty, gear-driven motor provides reliable performance over time.

An auto shutter prevents shavings spillage, so you don't have to waste time cleaning up messes. A semi-transparent shavings receptacle makes it easy to tell when your sharpener needs to be emptied, and a safety switch prevents the unit from operating when the shaving receptacle has been removed. This sharpener uses four AA batteries (not included).

Brian Said: I've bought a number of these. ( Nov. 11th 2009 )
I don't recommend them for children--they'll burn them up. I've used them for many years to sharpen my colored pencils and graphite pencils. Some have lasted longer than others, which is to say quality is hit-or-miss. When they do work, they work very well. At least it's not made by Xacto! Oh--the current Amazon price is WAY out of line. You can get these for $13. Shop around.
Moon H. Cho Said: Excellent pencil sharpner ( Nov. 9th 2009 )
It was nice and fine sharpener, which didn't break in few times as last time -it was not Panasonic one-. Although first few times of sharpening made some noise and smells, which I literally thought the motor is burning somehow, but not really- it became more silent. I would like it more if it was more portable, but still it is one of the best sharpnener
Uncle Willie Said: The time-tested Classic ( Oct. 7th 2009 )
I bought one of these 15 years ago and only had to replace it last month (the motor finally died and surely went to heaven). Before buying, I checked to see if newer ones, even more expensive ones, had any improvements. No way: Panasonic got this design right and stuck to it. I'm a teacher, so I sharpen a few #2 pencils every day and I'm fussy about a good point. This is perfect! Its rotating cylindrical blade (like those in the old hand-cranked sharpeners) makes a sharp but durable point at the standard angle. It's easy to clean and never break points or jams. My batteries last forever. If you need to sharpen a lot of pencils every day, go with a plug-in. If you sharpen crayons or art pencils, get a specialized sharpener for them. But for medium use with regular pencils, this is the time-tested classic!
Sparkly Said: overall it works very well ( Oct. 2nd 2009 )
I have purchased many many sharpeners in the past, all of them are manual one, worked only a few times, then start eating off the pencil. This one uses battery, and has been working for my daughter for over a year now. The only problem is it is a battery eater. I had to change battery a few times. Overall it works very well.
Trina Fulton Said: Great sharpener, but didn't last long. ( Sep. 23rd 2009 )
I loved this sharpener. It performed exactly as the other reviewers described. I am an artist and used it for sharpening expensive color pencils. It did a great job of creating sharp points without eating up the pencils. However, it stopped working after about a year. I don't think I abused or over-used it. I was very disappointed. I think I'm going to purchase the electric model this time; it received a lot of good reviews, and I hope it will last much longer.
