Hunt School Pro Electric Pencil Sharpener

This sharpener is a great addition to the office. I teach 2 children at home so we can go through a lot of pencils and this sharpener does it's duty.

I had this in my classroom for one month and it stopped working. I was the only person sharpening pencils so I can't blame it on the children. The sharpener just can't withstand the amount of pencils needed for an elementary classroom although it's name suggests so "school pro."

The students hate the short point this this sharpener makes which results in them trying to shove their pencils in too hard. And as for quiet, I wonder, compared to what? If you're in a classroom where the kids are so little that the teacher does all the sharpening, then this might be for you. Middle school and high school teachers will be baffled that this thing was supposedly designed for classroom use.

My principal gave me a brand new one for my 2nd grade classroom. It lasted exactly one year. When it broke I went and bought another -- again it lasted only one year. The motor works and it sounds like it's sharpening but it's not. I've checked for jams, nothing. It's just another dud.
