X-ACTO Mighty Mite Electric Pencil Sharpener — Compact Classroom Unit
Product description
This compact electric pencil sharpener includes the main sharpening unit, an integrated removable shavings bin, and a power cord for continuous use. The housing is molded from impact-resistant plastic for everyday wear, while the cutter is made from hardened steel to produce clean, precise tips.
Designed with a small footprint to sit on a desk or tabletop, it accepts standard wooden pencils and most colored pencils. The Pencil Saver mechanism prevents excessive sharpening, helping reduce frequent lead breakage and wasted pencil length.
A SafeStart motor halts operation whenever the shavings bin is removed, reducing the risk of accidental operation. The bin slips out for quick emptying to keep surfaces tidy. A slip-resistant base helps keep the unit steady during use.
Pros
- Prevents oversharpening to reduce lead breakage
- Safety motor stops when shavings bin is removed
- Compact, durable housing for frequent use
Cons
- Requires a power outlet to operate
- May need occasional blade maintenance
- Not cordless unless paired with separate battery option
VerdictReliable and compact, this electric sharpener speeds up sharpening while reducing broken leads. The Pencil Saver feature limits over-sharpening, and the SafeStart motor cuts power when the removable shavings bin is taken out. It's a good choice for desks, classrooms, and busy work areas where quick, consistent points are needed.

Years of steady use
Faster than manual sharpeners and holds up well over long-term use, though colored leads can break if sharpened too long.

Good, but note the plug
Sharpener works great; the power plug is two-prong and may require an adapter for three-prong outlets.
