Comments about X-Acto Vacuum Mount Pencil Sharpener:

I have owned this sharpener for five years and I am very satisfied with the quality of the product and the consistent points it makes on my graphite pencils. I have used this in my classroom for the 5 yrs. The vacuum can be a bit weak, but can be easily improved. With just a bit of liquid applied to the pad it is possible to sharpen a dozen or so pencils without having to recharge the suction. I like the fact that I can use it on my desk top and then put it inside of my desk until I need it. Students only use this sharpener when I am around to see that nothing weird gets sharpened. It has lasted five years of heavy use on a daily basis and is still operating just as it did the day I bought it. What more do you want in a sharpener? It remains more reliable than my two electric sharpeners.

The vaccum mount is the weak point; while handy in design, it sometimes fails to hold. The sharpener is great, like other X-acto sharpeners, however the vaccum mount is more of a pain then a gain.

We're really enjoying the quality of this sharpener. It's well made, and we don't think we'll have to worry about replacing it for some time. We determined it was ridiculous to continually replace the cheaper sharpeners at a greater cost than one well made one. We're happy!
