Query: Not so sharp sharpener

Purchased this sharpener because it was on sale significantly below original price. Thought that if the original price were so high it must be a good sharpener. It basically is no better than a much cheaper model I already have. It tends to "eat" pensils (but the disclaimer in the package said that such pencils probably had "uncentered lead" - that means that most pencils are of that type). Also, it will just stop working and you have to jam a pencil in to get it to work.Wasn't worth the money, even at the discounted price of over $50.
