For some reason this shows up as being delivered by March 1, but it arrived a couple of weeks ago. It works as intended and I am very pleased with it.As a primary school teacher, I have found myself replacing my electric pencil sharpener far too frequently. After trying numerous different ones that just kept breaking, I have finally found this one! I find it works best when plugged in with the charger but can also be battery operated too.Due to issues with my hands sharpening pencils was becoming difficult. I purchased this to help. As long as it is plugged into the USB then the sharpener whizzes through . What I particularly liked was the fact it does chunky pencils as well as the normal type.GreatUnless you need a sharpener with pictures of pink elephants or other child friendly design that outweighs the purpose of the sharpener, get this one. It is fast, sharp and sorts out blunt pencils in no time. Works on a usb cable too, instead of batteries if you prefer.I wanted a pencil sharpener for work as I'm a pre-school teacher and we have to sharpen a lot of pencils, which is hard on your hands and takes a lot of time, this great and whips through a draw of pencils in no time.I've used a lot of Rapesco products over last few years & have never been disappointed. Sadly, this sharpener has been a let down. After only a couple of weeks, the standard pencil sharpener won't sharpen pencils. I've tried to remove it, clean it, & nothing fixes it. The thick pencil side still works (ironically, this is the side that is most used)
