23 customers mention "Eats pencil"4 positive19 negative

Customers are unhappy with the pencil sharpener. They say it chews through pencils before sharpening them.

The sharpening mechanism has dangerous slippage and doesn't stay set at long point.

"...When I tried using it -- DISASTER! It chewed up my charcoal pencils (which ain't cheap!), broke the points, it was a NIGHTMARE!..." Read more

"...This sharpener doesn't sharpen pencils - it chews through them...." Read more

"...This causes the pencil to get stuck in the sharpener and keeps breaking the lead, making it very frustrating to use...." Read more

I bought another one when I was visiting the grandkids in Charlotte. When I tried using it -- DISASTER! It chewed up my charcoal pencils (which ain't cheap!), broke the points, it was a NIGHTMARE! So I wrote a scathing review ... and ... bought a sharpener from Staples. (It wasn't the best but was recommended by the art course and, at least, didn't destroy my pencils.A week or so after I wrote the review, Gazelltek emailed me and offered to refund the money I paid for the sharpener or send me a new one. I told them ... "Forget it." Not that I'm rich but I didn't need their refund and I wanted to remember NEVER to use their sharpener with my charcoal pencils.But ... they persisted. They offered to send me both a new electric ... and ... a manual sharpener. So I relented and they arrived today.When I opened the manual sharpener I though, "Holy crap ... it's plastic." I didn't even want to fool with it. I was reach to reseal the package and have UPS pick it up.Then, my wife tried the manual sharpener and said, "This is fantastic!" When she showed me the pencil point I was amazed. So I said, "Well, the test is the charcoal pencil."So I went out into my studio and grabbed one of them. I put it through the manual sharpener and was absolutely blown away with how easy it was to get a great point.I was still afraid to use the electric sharpener based on my prior experience.So ... I figured I needed to try it. To Gazell's point, they said the sharpener could have been defective. (When I put the pencil into the sharpener, the selector switch at the top spun around.When I sharpened the pencil it came out perfect (the image with the electric sharpener in the background).So...I have to retract my original 1 star review and replace it with this one.Not only does Gazelltek make great sharpeners, they stand behind their products 100%.Gazelltek has redefined pencil sharpeners -- kudos to them!Thank you for being patient with me. (I bought two more manual sharpeners and will pay for the manual they sent me.)If you need a pencil sharpener - especially for your artwork - these are the ones to buy - period ... end of story!

    But ... they persisted. They offered to send me both a new electric ... and ... a manual sharpener. So I relented and they arrived today.

    When I opened the manual sharpener I though, "Holy crap ... it's plastic." I didn't even want to fool with it. I was reach to reseal the package and have UPS pick it up.

    Then, my wife tried the manual sharpener and said, "This is fantastic!" When she showed me the pencil point I was amazed. So I said, "Well, the test is the charcoal pencil."

    So I went out into my studio and grabbed one of them. I put it through the manual sharpener and was absolutely blown away with how easy it was to get a great point.

    I was still afraid to use the electric sharpener based on my prior experience.

    So ... I figured I needed to try it. To Gazell's point, they said the sharpener could have been defective. (When I put the pencil into the sharpener, the selector switch at the top spun around.

    When I sharpened the pencil it came out perfect (the image with the electric sharpener in the background).

    So...I have to retract my original 1 star review and replace it with this one.

    Not only does Gazelltek make great sharpeners, they stand behind their products 100%.

    Gazelltek has redefined pencil sharpeners -- kudos to them!

    Thank you for being patient with me. (I bought two more manual sharpeners and will pay for the manual they sent me.)

    If you need a pencil sharpener - especially for your artwork - these are the ones to buy - period ... end of story!

    I find this to be the best sharper ever for both graphite and colored pencils. Once you get the feel of it. It is very easy to use. I found it best to stop feeding the pencil in after a brief time. Then resetting the adjustment to its original setting to release the pencil. This setting may start to change when you stop sharpening. If you desire a little more point do it again. It is easy to get use to. This sharpener works so well for me that I ordered a second one for backup. I have used other Afmat sharpeners as well as many other brands. This review does not apply to the other models. This depends of course on how you want your pencil sharpened. This varies with different individuals. I have not tried it with charcoal pencils. The instructions state that it can be used with an 8B or harder pencils. Instructions also say not to sharpen caulk. It is suppose to be self clearing if a lead breaks. I have never broke a lead with this model. I have been using it for about 4 months so I do not know yet how durable it is. It runs on battery and is automatically recharged when it is plugged in. The battery appears to be easily replaceable. I have never had a reason to open it up. The manual that came with it states that a full charge is good for about 160 sharpenings.

    This review is for pastel artists: I researched every imaginable kind of electric pencil sharpener and decided on this one. Partly because other artists had reviewed it and said it worked for colored pencils. So I decided to gave it a try for pastel pencils. I use Stabilo CarbOthello pencils for my work and I need a long point. I also travel and need a rechargeable battery set up that works for recharging on 220 volts (used in Europe and Asia). This product has it all. So I sharpened all my pencils (over 80) when I first got it and after I had fully charged the battery. I think I only broke 2 pencils, which is nothing. It is a little fussy to work with, but if you play around with it for a while, one will figure it out. The pencils broke because I tried to pull them out of the sharpener before they were full sharp. Then they got stuck in the machine and I broke them trying to get them out. I don't like a super sharp point, so I need to stop the process before the machine automatically stops itself . So what I discovered is that is I release my grip on the pencil before it is completely sharp, and let the pencil spin in the sharpener before it shuts off, then I am able to pull it out without breaking it. I brought the sharpener to my pastel class and let others sharpen their pencils. Everyone loved it and several people will be ordering it for their studios. Please note: it did not work for pencils that are larger in diameter than a regular sized pencil, which some brands are). After all that sharpening, the battery was still more than half full. So it will take a long time before I need to actually recharge it. This is great for studio, traveling and classroom uses. So far, I am thrilled.

    I have just tested this sharpener upon receiving, and I am thoroughly impressed. I used the cheapest pencils I have which I gave up on, due to them constantly breaking no matter what sharpener I tried using. I also added a Derwent pastel pencil, because it had the same issue. I never expected the sharpener to work on soft charcoal and pastel, but it absolutely did! I should say that in the past I was very impressed with a Derwent mechanical sharpener that also provides a very long tip to a pencil. I only started looking for a new one because my faithful Derwent started showing signs of "getting old" and not bringing good results anymore. I know I can use graphite to re-sharpen the blades of it, but it was an excuse to check what's out there, which is how I stumbled on this electric sharpener. And wow. Even my Derwent could not handle the very soft pencils, I would end up using a manual pastel sharpener and even that barely worked. I've never seen such a long tip even as an option for charcoal and pastel! I'm now looking forward to trying it out on my Prismacolors, which, as all of us pencil nerds know, has an ongoing issue of continuous breakage.
    Notes about the usage itself: it is very simple and convenient. The two types of tip modes and the way you combine them allow for some versatility in the style of the tip. The basic instructions are as the manual says: sharpen twice using both modes to get a long as well as sharp tip, or just one of the modes as suits you. It's super easy. The automatic stop does work. The only thing you need to pay attention to is that when you rotate the top, sometimes it feels like it can't move anymore but actually it can. So if for some reason you push the pencil and it doesn't start sharpening, it means you need to adjust the mode just slightly more until you're in the correct spot, and then you're good to go.
    Overall, despite the cost it is a well worth investment, considering how much additional usage I can get from my pencils. I'm sorry now that I didn't get this sharpener sooner, because so many of my pencils have been wasted on failing attempts to sharpen them....the money I could've saved on buying new ones would've well justify the price of this fancy sharpener.
