Other electrics vibrate so tremendously they break the lead. I am an artist and use charcoal pencils. I purchased this model back in the 1990's. It survived my first two children, twin boys. My second marriage produced two more children. After a few years they trashed it. I tried many other brands. Way too much vibration. I could keep breaking the lead until the pencil was gone. In my opinion this is the best electric in the world. Absolutely! I think I might buy another one.

Panasonic products have never disappointed me. This sharpener is many years old yet works like new. It was packed well and arrived on time. I would have given it 5 stars but it had not been cleaned of a sticky substance and ordinary grime. The white cord was in need of cleaning. Also, there was pencil shavings in the plastic collector box.

I've had this model for years. A real workhorse. The one I use in my office, not this brand, broke and I was thrilled to get a Panasonic KP-110. Haven't had it long but it work like a charm. Pencils are sharp but not overly so.

This is the best pencil sharpener ever made. Every pencil comes out perfect! Points are very sharp, but not weak from over sharpening. The auto stop prevents destroying your pencils. I have one at work and finally had to buy another for home. Even though I bought it used it still works better than anything on the market these days!

Panasonic is a brand most people have grown up with, its always been a great reliable brand. This particular model is still at work, no need to service, works just like when you first bought it. I have never heard of burnt out motors or worn sharpener. I would have liked if the motor was 120-240v so it could be used everywhere. There isn't a machine out there that is as reliable and as good as this one particular model It a great machine well worth the money and stands out from them all.
