Pros & Cons
Pros
The machine does it's job flawlessly otherwise. It is fantastic! Do not hesitate. How it operates and feels is high quality as are the results.
Great pencil sharpener. It will indent pencils but indentation is not as bad as what derwent does to pencils. I reasoned, look, i said to myself, i need them to be sharp!
Product is wonderful pencil sharpening machine. It sharpens my prismacolor pencils to perfection. Works very well on both sets of colored pencils-prismacolor and faber castell.
Cons
Somewhat disappointed with this sharpener. Very disappointing results for the amount paid for the sharpener, especially with caran d'ache name and known reputation for quality. It's so disappointing as i really loved for one day.
Highlights
Quality
Excellent control perfect points easy to use superb product
It is sturdy heavy all metal solid
Its very heavy construction and sharpens with out breakage all of my colored pencils
I cranked the dial all the way back to its longest position and it is still to short for my taste
Price

But i said to myself this is obscenely expensive
Shipping
Arrived in time and in perfect shape
Packaging/appearance
This is the classic model authentic and comes well packaged
I use a sharp stylus a steel tip dart actually and brush to dig out the packed shavings out of the nooks and crannies
The one i received looks slightly different than the picture and it has a large ugly sticker on the back of it
I looked down and saw a small red box
Competitiveness
After owning several cheaper sharpeners that either didnt last or didnt work well i decided to invest in this
Check the photos for comparison with other sharpeners
Frankly the result with the electric one is better and simpler to get than with the swiss 34machine34

But i cant help but feel that the product i read about in reviews years ago is not quite the same product as what is offered now

What i found underwhelming about this sharpener given its price is that the sharpening isnt perfectly even around the diameter of the pencil i sometimes need to turn the pencil while sharpening it to even things out which makes me think the cutting bit isnt properly seated
