X-ACTO Buzz Battery Pencil Sharpener, Assorted Colors, 1 Count - Back to School, Teacher, Classroom Supplies

Good quality and works well. It's nice to have pencils that write.

It sharpens. But you have to fight to get it out of the package. Fight to close the battery pack (4AA) and then it doesn’t tell you the pencil is sharp. It will grind the entire pencil away. And then you have to open the case to get eh shavings out. Sticking your fingers around the blade to get it out because there’s no drawer. And then fight to get the cover back on. Low quality overly complicated waste of time and batteries.

I love that it is easy to use, takes 4 AA batteries which are not included, I bought generic dollar general batteries which work great. Sharpens pencils within seconds, no need to twist and turn pencils anymore with this product. Just simply place pencil in the sharpener, and continue holding it with very little pressure and within like 5 seconds or less you have a perfectly sharpened pencil. Works great with colored pencils as well. I love to draw and I hate to use mechanical pencils that lead breaks when applying little pressure. The regular pencil sharpeners, never get the pencil sharpened perfectly and have a tendency of breaking or falling apart themselves. With this pencil sharpeners, you don't have to worry about that happening, it's affordable for those on a tight budget, or those who like to conserve money. This is a must have for anyone whom draws, writes, has kids in school for their homework. Great for classrooms as well, a must have for everyone.

I really like this little sharpener, but you DO get what you pay for. Don't expect a super high quality product that will last for decades. It won't. I had my first one for 7 years before it just broke and I just couldn't figure out why, guessing the motor just wore out. So, bought another to replace it and it is working well still after 3 years. Recently bought one for 4 & 6 year old granddaughters because I like mine so much and they keep losing their manual sharpeners. * PROS: 1-Cheap enough to replace as necessary. 2-Batteries last a long time. Day one, I sharpened 50 colored pencils and batteries are still strong 3-Simple to use. 4-Small profile so easy to toss into work or school bag. Doesn't take up much room on desk or in drawer. 5-Sharpens well when used properly 6-Pretty colors (I chose the blue, it is a medium teal) 7-Seems tough enough to handle most falls off of a table or desk but hard, high drops onto tile or stone will shatter the plastic CONS: 1-Fussy product.** 2-Tips sometimes break off, jamming motor so have to use tweezers to remove 3-Small receptacle. Full after 5 or so sharpened pencils 4-A real struggle to put battery cover and plastic receptacle cover back on, but once you figure out the "tricks" it isn't hard. *** See below for suggestion hints 5-If over-sharpened, it is more likely to break off the tip that can get stuck in the sharpening mechanism. 6-Works GREAT with regular and most colored pencils. Some colored pencil brands seem to only sharpen on one side, typically the extra hard "lead" 7-There is no size adjustment for pencil diameters. Only works with standard pencils 8-Rechargeable batteries work, but don't last as long as non-rechargeable batteries *BE CAREFUL that children know not to put fingers in sharpener as it is big enough hole for tiny fingers. (Putting items other than pencils WILL break the blades and damage the item so keep away from very young children **Often needs you to manually turn the motor with a pencil after it suddenly stops working because something jammed in blades. A few turns usually does the job and it starts working again ***Suggestions: take care to insert BATTERY cover into the sliding slots. It will slide in well if you take care to keep it flat, level, and inside those slots. Start reinserting RECEPTACLE cover at bottom. Get it in on the bottom, top, and 1 side, (one side often sticks out) THEN push down on the little tab to get other side closed. (obnoxious, but easily done once you figure that out)

Cute little sharpener. Thank you

It's just like a cheap .90 cent hand sharper enclosed in a case that works on batteries to make it 'electric'. Cheap. Barely had 3 days and hardly even sharpens now. Blade already worn out. Waste of money.

It was a great product as always, I bought some from eBay like 10 years ago! The sharpener itself I have bought from this seller, the sharpener started acting weird, then made a AWEFUL burning smell and the batteries got scorching hot! I immediately contacted xacto for a replacement and they replaced it, but the same thing happened, then just recently I saw the xacto buzz went on sale! So like usual I bought one... It is great so far as long as you don't use it very often, just sharpen like 2 pencils then wait, I have a xacto school pro as a extra, it works great! I personally like xacto's products!

Do not buy this product. Received product. Installed batteries. Used it twice. It stopped working. The bottom piece popped and would not go back in place. Very hard to get battery cover off. New batteries did not help. I did not want to give this product any stars. What a waste of money.

I like the pencil sharpener. I hadn’t looked at the size of it so I had to laugh when I saw it. I thought I was ordering an electric pencil sharpener also. Didn’t check it out enough but really like it. It works great for what I needed it for.

Very disappointed with this item not only didn't it work it arrived in pieces. Would not purchase again

EXTREMELY difficult to put batteries in. Used it twice and it is now broken. Can't even get the pencil shavings out of the cup - again very difficult to remove it.

For when you get tired of sharpening pencils by hand sometimes it's quick and efficient so on days your in a hurry to jot something important down very convenient for work or studying etc. Helps to buy rechargeable batteries

Wow! This little sharpener is amazing!
