Electric Operated Pencil Sharpener - Home, Office & School

Previously, I've written about the battery operated pencil sharpeners I've received from Bo Toys & Gifts, from Amazon.  Although the battery operated pencil sharpeners are colorful, work really well and can be easily taken with you, these electric pencil sharpeners are a little larger and will, of course, require a socket to plug them into, meaning, it may be more convenient to leave the sharpener where it will be used the most.

I love all the different pencil sharpeners I've reviewed.  They are all so different!  I actually enjoyed testing and playing with each one, as the only pencil sharpener I've ever used were the packaged ones you get from the store or ones mounted to a wall in a school room (which were decades ago!)

The pencil sharpener shown, is an electric pencil sharpener, like the others, is very colorful!  I always like the clear see through sharpeners, as you can see what's going on inside.  The color of this sharpener is a mix of blues and greens with a hint of yellow.  This is a fun colored pencil sharpener and will more than likely, become my favorite.  The advantage and pros of the electric pencil sharpener, is that it is electric and you don't have to invest in batteries, knowing that you will eventually have to purchase more when they decide to just quit.

As with all the other sharpeners I've reviewed, this too, is from Bo Toys and Gifts.  They have fun and trendy looking pencil sharpeners, both battery and electric operated.  This particular one has a cool and contemporary design and has three sharpening points.  It has an Auto-Stop feature that prevents over sharpening.  How many times have we sharpened pencils, only to have them break and then to resharpen? 

Another safety feature, if you remove the shaving tray, the pencil sharpener will not work.   This will prevent the sharpener from working when not in use.  I thought about giving this away as a gift, but after seeing it in person and after unboxing it....umm...no, I'm keeping this one!

System Sharpener Knife Sharpener Review & Giveaway!

I can't tell you how happy I was to get a knife sharpener from System Sharpener.  There are many knife sharpeners out there, but I love the modern and classy look of this particular one.  It doesn't look like your everyday black or silver sharpener, instead, it is a vibrant Lime Green with silver accents.

Of course, I had to put this little baby to test as soon as I received it!  I've had knife sharpeners before, some that were nothing but a grinding stick, but I found that this little gem worked!  I have so many dull knives in my kitchen drawers, that I get disgusted when I can't find a sharp one, just to cut through something simple.

The System Sharpener has a little black lever that you snap down, which has a suction cup bottom.  This is to prevent the sharpener from moving or slipping while sharpening your knives.  It also frees your hands so you have no accidents.  There are two sides, or two slots in this sharpener.   The first is to sharpen, which is perfect for blunt knives (not recommended for serrated knives.) This step should be done every six months or as needed. The second slot is for honing.  Honing is a necessary step used to eliminate burrs on a knife and to polish it.  This should be done  once a week to keep your knives sharp at all times.

STEP 1:  COARSE SHARPENING
Suitable for blunt knives.  Place knife in the sharpening slot.  Using slight downward pressure, run blade from its heel to its point through the slot.  Repeat three to five times. Sharpen knives every six months or as needed.

STEP 2:  FINE HONING
This is a necessary step used to eliminate burrs on a knife and to polish it.  Place knife in the sharpening slot.  Using a slight downward pressure, run the blade from its heel to its point through the slot.  Repeat three to five times.  Normally it's recommended to sharpen your knives once a week to keep blades sharp at all times.

This sharpener is not recommended for serrated blades or scissors!  It can be used with ceramic knives, but only for coarse sharpening.  This is NOT dishwasher safe.  Clean by using a wet cloth and dry it.  The metal blades may turn black, which is normal.
