Never Again
This unit sharpens pencils with half the wood remain on the tip. It is so annoying because the pencil won't work with half the wood in the way. I actually wasted several pencils by sharpening them from new all the way to the eraser end hoping that it would correct itself. Then I thought it was the brand of the pencil. Nope, it is the Bostitch sharpener. I tried several brands of pencil and they all have the same result. I would NOT recommend this product to anyone.

Stay away. Especially if you're an artist!
I needed a replacement for the now out of stock Exacto sharpener for my Prismacolor pencils, which was perfect but recently broke down. I had high hopes for this brand-- it had replaced Exacto as the dominant product on the shelf, so why wouldn't it?
Oh, if only I knew. It most certainly is not quiet, so don't trust that selling point. I don't know why they even mention it. The sharpening quality itself is dismal: you have to press down really hard for a LONG time for it to do anything, and even then it leaves wood up one side.
On top of that, it broke off the tip of one of my pencils.
Bring back Exacto, PLEASE!

This sharpener is great , it makes sure that your pencil gets sharpened and I haven't had any problems with it before . This is my ninth one that I've bought so far and I'm completely satisfied .

Garbage
Bought this today after my 20 yr old sharpener died. This one took forever to sharpen one pencil then died completely after six pencils.
