5 out of 5 stars Great for kids  This sharpener is perfect for my 4, 6, and 8 year-olds because you put the pencil into the top instead of the front. That means they can do it with one hand. If the opening is in the front, you have to hold the sharpener with one hand (to keep it from sliding across the table) while you push the pencil in with the other. That might seem like a minor thing, but it’s much easier for a small child to reach up to the sharpener on the kitchen counter with one hand then to get both hands up there. It’s actually easier for everyone to use.

The auto-off function is great. It doesn’t break the lead like the past 5 sharpeners I’ve had (if you find that your pencil lead breaks or the tip falls out 5 minutes after you sharpened it, it’s not the pencil’s fault…it’s the sharpener that’s breaking it).
