A GREAT SHARPENER - GET THE POINT?
It's classy, compact and does a great job of sharpening pencils to a perfect point in a jiffy.

Unlike other electric sharpeners it doesn't seem to keep grinding away until your pencil is but a nub, but stops when the exact point is reached.Also, it is an even point rather than one sided.There is no necessity for you to keep turning the pencil in order to achieve an even sharpening. ...

Not perfect but better than most
I have been teaching math for a few years and have had more trouble with sharpeners than students.I was going through several sharpeners a year.I was comfortable spending 20is dollars at Wal-Mart(where America shops for value).I was getting about 6 months out of each sharpener.This Boston School Pro is much better.While more expensive, it has lasted 2 and a half years.I have had trouble getting new blades and feel that I will never, I end up saving money in the long run.I was spending $60 plus every two and a half years and now spend $30 every two and a half.If Texas will get it's act together and give teachers the raise they were talking about I might be able to cover my pencil sharpener budget.

Poor quality, doesn't last, no service after the sale
I'm a middle school teacher and bought two of these on the advice of a colleague.Both broke down before the end of the year.So did the two my colleague bought.It turned out she hadn't used one before but was taken by the imposing hero shot of the sharpener.

The company was completely unresponsive to the several phone messages I left.

A hand sharpener works better in the long run.Don't waste your money.

Great Sharpener
I am a teacher, and needed a new sharpener after my manual one for my class room busted. I used this sharpener many times, and it did very well. It stopped sharpening right when it was perfect. I have a student, and whenever she sharpens her pencils, she pushes so hard, it jams the sharpener. She keeps it in a jammed position for periods of time. It seems as if she finds the sound of the motor struggling entertaining. She many times made it overheat. She recently burned the motor out, I am not sure what happend to the thermal protection. This is truly a great sharpener, although I can't tell you how long it will last, so I will only give it 4 stars

Very Disappointed Teacher
Only buy this pencil sharpener if you want to replace it each year.The sharpener worked very well until the end of the school year and then the blades became dull and would not sharpen the pencils.Hunt Company replaced the blades under warranty.Now that the warranty has expired, they refuse to replace the blades and won't sell the blade replacements. What a shame that electric pencil sharpeners are supposed to be disposable!

The Mother of All Pencil Sharpeners
I was the collegue of Bret Beckle who was frantically trying to finish sharpening pencils for testing.I had already froze/overheated two pencil sharpeners and only managed to finish about 10 pencils out of 30.The Boston School Pro finished the rest in no time and all.It is amazingly quiet and efficient.It is well worth the money, this is the best price around!! ...

Right to the point
I've run my Panasonic KP-4A sharpener for nearly a decade, with nary a hitch. It chisels keen points quickly, with a little accompanying noise that wouldn't be disturbing in most situations. In fact, the pitch tells you when the sharpening is achieved. Seems unbreakable to me, as long as one does not force pencils downward--just hold them steady and in 5 seconds, the job's done. Its sleek, compact, cordless design works on any desktop.

Great sharpening BUT broke after 10 pencils
I bought two sharpeners. I sharpened about ten pencils with the first one (excellent sharpening while it lasted), and something "let go" inside. The motor ran but the rotating blade had no more power - as soon as I pressed the pencil into the blade it would stop turning while the motor continued running freely.

I unwrapped the second sharpener to see if it would hold up better. Again, after about 10 pencils, exactly the same thing happened.

When I disassembled one of them to analyze the failure, I discovered that a crucial area of the plastic gear that drives the blade mechanism was stripped away so that the gear was spinning practically freely. It was unable to drive the blade mechanism with any significant strength.

Conclusion: This product is potentially an excellent pencil sharpener but it has a major design weakness in its drive train. I only put one star on this review because zero stars is not available.

Excellent sharpener
I use this on high-quality colored art pencils. They are very soft and shatter on ordinary pencil sharpeners with blades. This sharpener uses gears instead of a blade and sharpens at the same angle as other sharpeners that use gears (those with blades sharpen at a different angle). This is a replacement for my first one which lasted ~10 years and saved me ~$100 worth of pencils (these pencils are about a dollar each). I will not use another style.

The Best Pencil Sharpener
The Panasonic KP-4A is the best (yes, best) portable pencil sharpener I have ever seen. I have owned a few in the past, and they never worked very well; they were loud, cut crudely and broke the lead about half the time. The KP-4A cuts better than many desktop shapeners- and I mean better. It is loud, but no more than other models and its sound is more of a mechanical hum than a grinding roar. I would definetely buy this if you ever have situations where you need to write but might not by near a sharpener.I highly recommend this product, and, for its price, why not? :-)

NOTE: If you would need to use this in really quite environments- don't. No portable electric one will be quiet enough so you'll need a manual one. ... Read more

Short Lived
I only have four children, using the sharpener at home. After about one year the blades were dull and it was chewing up pencils and spitting them out.I think for $20 I should have had more use.A replacement cutter costs $10 plus shipping; no replacement parts available in stores.

Only Lasted One School Year
I'm currently shopping for another sharpener for this coming school year.This Panasonic model, purchased last September, only lasted the school year (barely) with a class of 22 fifth-graders.Even then, I had to take it apart once to fix it (not very difficult -- all the parts are accessible, and I only had to slide a plastic piece back onto its post.)If I can find a more reliable sharpener, I will certainly spend extra to buy it, but this sharpener is probably a good value if you have less than 22 heavy users.

Great machine
This Panasonic pencil sharpener replaced a more expensive Boston model.Boston needs to buy one of these and see how a real pencil sharpener is made.

Positive experiences,recommend for fine art pencils
I have used a number of these sharpeners and have been pleased with the performance of each one.This sharpener is dependable and consistently sharpens to needle sharp points.The blade is long lasting and great for artists that travel.Canister for shavings stays securely attached so no unexpected messes in your suitcase or artbin.The smaller of the two openings fits German made artist pencils, such as Faber Castell, just perfectly.

Poor quality
Cheap sharpener, in many cases your pencils will cost more than this sharpener.
But it's a good sharpener to avoid. It chews up the wood of colored pencils, and never gets a sharp point. For lead pencils, the amateur blade cuts to a very dull, steep point. By design, this will never sharpen pencils well. Not even worth the low price. It's a shame, because Staedtler has made some very fine products before. ... Read more
