Comments about X-Acto 1800 Electric Pencil Sharpener:

I've had this product for a little over a year and it's worked well for personal home use. I seldom sharpen anything but colored pencils in it (which is hard on blades, I'm told), and it's still working great.

My dog tripped over the cord once and pulled it off the table. It came apart in a couple of places and I was afraid it was finished, but when I popped it back together it worked fine. No more sitting on the dining table with the cord stretched across to the outlet!

It's my understanding that sharpening wax-based colored pencils dulls the blades more quickly, but so far I haven't noticed any decrease in performance.

No doubt there are better pencil sharpeners -- there are certainly plenty of more expensive ones. This product works well, though it's a little noisy. Pencil sharpeners are, as a rule. I'm happy with it and don't know what I'd do to improve on it beyond maybe making allowances for different diameter pencils.
