After disappointments regarding other sharpeners, I tried this one because of its design award. Immediately, I could tell this sharpener was different. Its sound is like a dental drill. Pencils sharpen quickly. As a music teacher, my frequent high-volume use didn't phase the iPoint. I even dropped it on a tile floor; after it fell, it split into several pieces. After I snapped the pieces back together it resumed working. Just don't use it for colored pencils -- the soft lead "gums up" the sharpener. After 2 yrs. it is still working beautifully.
I have been using pencil sharpeners in my claasroom for 29 years...electric and manual. This is by far the best one I have ever used in school. One problem, I always have a hard time getting it back together after I have emptied the shavings!!!
I was looking for a good looking pencil sharpener for my home office desk and I wanted one that did not take up much space. Luckily, I received a sample of the Westcott iPoint so that I could try it out. The iPoint takes up very little space and it looks so cool. It is also very easy to use. I had it out of the box and working within two minutes. My favorite thing about this pencil sharpener is that when it sharpens the pencils, it does not over sharpen them, leaving a thin, brittle tip that breaks the second that you start to write with it. It created a very nice tip for writing, and the tip stayed nice for quite a while before needing to be resharpened. Another feature that I really like about the iPoint is that the shavings reservoir is transparent. Pencil sharpeners only work well if you empty them when they need it, and with this pencil sharpener there is no guesswork. My iPoint is still new, but it feels durable. It even has a one year warranty, which is great. The only thing about the iPoint that I do not really like is that it is a little noisy. The noise is only a minor concern, though, when considering all of the other excellent features of the iPoint. Based upon my experience with it, I feel that the iPoint is a great electric pencil sharpener for home or office use.
I got this for my husband who is a carpenter and has used various pencil sharpeners at work to keep up with all of the pencil scribing they do to build log homes. The first day he took it to their workshop the guys all commented on how well it works. It is truly in the power tool class of pencil sharpeners. The only draw back I could find was when I went to clean it out the base came loose and the shavings fell out the bottom instead of just pouring them out the top. All in all a great product.
We purchased this as a donation for my son's classrom. He and the teacher have both been plesed with it. My son gets to use it frequenly, since one of his jobs is to sharpen pencils while he waits for the bus after school. He mentioned that it is quiet, too.
As a small business owner, my office products and equipment must be efficient, cost-effective and functional. I've found that the iPoint electric pencil sharpener does its job, but didn't knock my socks off. First of all, I was surprised to hear the motor laboring when I pushed a pencil in with a little bit of force. Sure, I was in a hurry to get a fresh point, but it seemed to take longer than it should. I've since discovered that a slight amount of pressure works best and doesn't over-burden the motor. The form and function are fine, and I expect it to last a long time with the titanium bonded cutting blades. Also, don't let the reservoir fill too much before emptying, or it will be messy. In all, I'd say this was a good medium-duty sharpener, suitable for the home or a small office.
I bought this pencil sharpener for my classroom. I teach middle school, about 137 students. I needed something that could stand up to several students sharpening their pencils over and over again every 45 minutes. So far (about 20 days) the sharpener has done well. When I first got it I had to laugh because I was expecting something much bigger. It is very tiny, but that is okay because it takes up just a small spot in the classroom. WARNING: This thing is VERY NOISY. I have no idea how something so small makes so much noise, but it is practically impossible to teach over the sharpening of pencils.
