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.

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


Oh yeah its a bit pricey but this enables me to get the best performance out of all of my woodcased pencils and its a pleasure to use


Not unless it is in your budgetdo not scrimp and save to get it


I bought an absolutely excellent electric pencil sharpener from amazon a few months ago for less than 25 and still bought the c...  Read More


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

    I would give it six stars if i could


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The lead length adjustment feature too doesnt go as far as it could its hard to see a great difference from shortest to longest


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Can’t fit mega sized pencils is a bit of a let down


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Sharpens well but metal clutch teeth need updating


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    There are better options available that do not damage the pencil barrel
