AFMAT Electric Pencil Sharpener, Heavy Duty Pencil Sharpeners for 6-12mm No.2/Colored Pencils, Auto Stop, Super Sharp & Fast, Electric Pencil Sharpener Plug in for Office, Home, PS91

Me encantó. Deja la punta de los lapices de grafito superfina en su máximo nivel. He usado lapices Staedler Mars Lumograph, Staedler Mars Lumograph Black (que son un nivel intermedio entre grafito y carboncillo) y Caran D'ache graphwood ,y deja muy fina la punta en todos estos. Posdata: No he usado Conté a Paris Pierre Noire u otros carboncillos porque para estos prefiero usar una navaja y lija para sacarles punta.

Update: after using for a few days this sharpener has lived up to my expectations, so I've upgraded my original 4* rating to 5*. With some reviews specifically stating that the plug is not UK & others making no mention of what is a rather important element of the product, I asked the question on here and received two very helpful replies confirming that it does not have a UK plug and an adaptor is required. So I went ahead and purchased together with a US to UK adaptor. This is a fabulous sharpener - set to the sharpest point I put it through its paces with various brands of coloured pencils (Holbein, Polychromos, Derwent Artists, Luminance, Derwent Drawing). I expected the Drawing to maybe cause an issue being the thickest core and very soft, but it was no problem; lovely sharp point. Auto stop prevents over sharpening and it is very easy to empty. So I'm delighted with my purchase but would suggest to Amazon that it would be more useful to the customer if the 'Buy It With' section recommends an adaptor rather than rechargeable eraser refills!!

Let me tell you how this pencil sharpener has saved my sanity in a 6th grade classroom. In the beginning of the school year, I had a pencil sharpener that broke the children’s pencil tips more often than not, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and get a new one. The green color is so cute and matches with my greenery theme so well. Anyway, I demonstrated to the students how to use it and it has made mornings so much more efficient. It sharpens super quick AND it automatically stops when the pencil is sharpened. No guessing, no sharpening your pencil to the point that it breaks. I highly recommend it. Very easy to use for all ages and worth the money!

The Afmat will sharpen pretty much any pencil you have (except those massive jumbo ones). I have sharpened thousands of pencils in mine and not had one breakage. That is for a collection covering a large number of the most popular makes of pencil. It auto stops and gives a beautiful fine point. I have only praise for this item.

Es un dispositivo excelente. sorprende la rapidez y la precisión con la que afila los colores. no rompe las puntas. Si se usa durante la noche en un ambiente silencioso, el ruido que produce puede ser un poco alto así que yo lo uso con la puerta cerrada para evitar molestar a mi familia. Definitivamente una muy buena compra!
