iPoint Ball Battery Pencil Sharpener

This is larger than I expected it to be. More suitable for a desk than palm-sized, which is what I thought it would be. However, it works so very well that I like it very much and would buy it again in spite of it being larger than I wanted. The excellent function of it makes it well worth it. I enjoy drawing and designing tattoos and this makes my pencils needle sharp and allows me to create really nice, fine and precise lines. I'm glad I bought it.

Love it, cute and works great. Also very compact for tight area.

Works really well perfect in a small area used to hang out with

This works really good. I bought it so when my grandson comes over with home work he has a way to sharpen his pencils. Seems to be working just fine. But know that you have to put your own batteries in it as it doesn't come with batteries. So far so good!

As described. Nice sharp point. Sturdy product

I purchased this twice and I would not purchase again. The first purchase was based on size and portability. I needed a battery-operated, contained (meaning no shaving mess), small, portable pencil sharpener for my teaching bag. My students and I go through a lot of pencil use when sitting at the piano and I believe it’s more professional to have my own sharpener than to try to rely on the students and their parents to have one available for our use in their homes. This unit fit perfectly in the pocket of my bag, and I felt like Mary Poppins when I would sharpen pencils in front of students who didn’t know I had a pencil sharpener hiding in my magic bag! Eventually though, I had to take it out so I could empty it. Turns out the shavings (read: TRASH) compartment just falls out on its own, dumping shavings all over. Well, that’s annoying, I thought, and put it back in my bag. Next time, same thing. The time after that, I put a rubber band around the compartment and unit. The very next day, a pencil lead tip broke off inside the thing, and we can’t for the life of us get it out. So I tossed it and replaced it with the same unit. Same exact design flaws, of course. I decided to just sharpen my pencils at home and carry many more pencils at a time. Well, then I learned that sharpening pencils with this thing on the counter is a two-handed operation – one hand to force the pencil to stay still and not spin and actually get sharpened, and the other hand to keep the sharpener stable on the counter. Yeah, no thanks. I ultimately replaced the second unit with the OfficeWorld automatic and rechargeable (and adjustable, who knew??) sharpener, found on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QG75SGB/ and I have given that a well-deserved 5-star review.

Fantastic pencil sharpener. I especially appreciate the rubber feet on the bottom that keep the sharpener from moving when in use.

Small enough for my desktop. Sharpens pencils evenly.

Perfect and inexpensive.

Once you figure out how to put in the batteries, it works amazing!!

Love it so much bought my Daughter one for her Kids.

The only thing good about this sharpener is it looked nice on my desk. It was slow, the motor sounded as if it was dying, it was hard to empty shavings, which I had to do often, and after about two weeks of use, it totally died on my. What a piece of garbage. I have one now, for not much more money that works excellently. Don't buy this item.

Very pleased with this product!
