How loud is this sharpener? I'm looking for a powerful, but quiet sharpener.

I have to say it is not quiet but not an annoying type of loud. I will say it is the best brand I have tried so far and I have been well pleased with it. Have used it in my 3 rd grade classroom for several months now and it is still performing as it did on the first day. I have learned the trick to keeping a sharpener going is keeping those 'fancy' decorated pencils out of it. The coating on them will gum up the blades. So we take our fancy pencils and peel the coating off of the end before sharpening. Love this one. Enough said. Hope this helps.

It is quiet compared to most school sharpeners I have had in the past. I am extremely satisfied with this product.

This is a great pencil sharpener for the price. I even let the kids use it (which normally I don't because they break things!!) Sound wise it isn't a tiny "hum", but it isn't SUPER loud either. Typical pencil sharpener noise, I'd say. Sorry if that doesn't answer your question. A pencil sharpener in a school is an important thing. They usually break or sharpen unevenly. Had this for 6 months and it's going great!

The pencil sharpener is was quiet the first year. I am using it my second year and it is not as quiet but it is not loud. After 2 years with first graders you might rattle also. All and all this was the best pencil sharpener I bought that I would buy again and again.

I teach school and it is too loud to talk over, but not that loud for a pencil sharpener and it is amazing.

Compared to other electric sharpeners it is relatively quiet. You can certainly hear it, but not overly loud and obnoxious. Also, from the sound it is very evident when pencil is sharpened. This is the best electric sharpener I have had in many years of teaching!

not loud but not a good pick for clipping. the larger one's blade broke off some teeth amd as you may know is ineffective now. the small one did not cut properly from the beginning. I would reccommend the Yellow Dog cordless trimmer, I am on my 3rd one because you cannot change ot sharpen the blade, but for 20.00 bucks why not replace as needed. I use them around the ears and faces of my 2 mini schnauzers. Good Luck

While it is not whisper quiet, it is powerful due to the motor which does make noise. I would recommend going to youtube and looking this product up as their are product videos on there so that will at least give you a better idea of how noisy it is. Thank you ! Magic Mikes Premium Pleasure

yes but......i have owned 2 of these sharpeners over the last few years and have found the quality has gone down hill.....i would not recommend it anymore........the first one i bought was great for a couple of years but when i replaced it the quality had gone down hill... the main problem was the abrasive material on the tines all fell off after the first use.

There is an art to sharpening colored pencils with a hand sharpener. It's very easy to break the tip. As manual sharpeners go, this is one of the better ones. But like all of them, it dulls pretty quickly. It's worth the few bucks I paid for it and I would buy it again. Hope this answers your question.

Its not quiet but about the same as other blenders. I would say average "blender" sound.

I just use a small, manual sharpener ~ I can throw it in my purse and empty it easily. Cost of that type is very low!

Just sharpened my No.2 with it and it comes out perfect. I bought it for home, bc I have two in elementary and I didn't want to fool around. I'm very pleased. Kids use it just fine. Works fast too. Seems you always get what you pay for. Good Luck

It may be small but it's not quiet. Sounds like a very loud pencil sharpener.

Not very loud. Much quieter than the blade grinder I had previously. I would recommend this grinder. Sturdy and does a great job of grinding. Adjustable from chunky to powder. I have used this for about two years and am very pleased with it. Would buy again.

Same answer as W. M. Werich. It's a long lasting sharpener for $20. So far it has sharpened a lot of edges.

Hi. I don't recall that it was all that loud, but it lasted through one solid day of use and that was that. Very cool design and all but the light plastic blade fell off and even though I replaced it exactly as it had been, it was never the same. The wind blew in the opposite direction or not at all, despite the blade spinning. It was good for squirting water on my face during the blazing hot Gettysburg battle reenactments last summer, but I had to throw it away upon returning home. Too bad, because I really liked the concept.

I have the suggested sharpener and a regular one. Both work great but I prefer the Prismacolor one

Not loud at all. It's quieter than every regular stapler I've ever used. If you are comparing it to the big staplers that can handle 50+ pages, this is nowhere near that level of sound.

I would agree except for the fact my wife is a teacher and also purchased the same model for her classroom, which is why I ordered one when my ten year old Panasonic died. She had hers since April and I figured if it could stand up to kids in a classroom it had to be durable. I received mine which made a grinding noise but no sharpening and immediately returned it. Ironically hers died about two weeks after I returned mine she ordered another through her school and it also didn't work out of the box.

I guess mine is pretty loud too...its definitely not the quietest electric razor. Comparing the noise to other hair trimmers devices though rather than razors makes it seem about normal in how loud it is...it is more similar to the noise of other hair trimmers.

I really like this sharpener. It does sharpen fast. I haven't had any issues with it. =)
