I love stationery items, sometimes even those that I don’t actually use. I don’t use pencils a lot, so I probably don’t really need an automatic pencil sharpener. But if it has a cute design and promises to make my life more convenient, I would probably still want to get it. Chinese brand AFMAT seems to have captured the market that likes cute, novelty stationery items, as well as those who actually use pencils a lot, either for work or for school.
The AFMAT Electric Pencil Sharpener is shaped like a robot and looks pretty much like a toy. But it’s actually a fully functional automatic pencil sharpener with a fun and colorful design. It’s also pretty easy to use: you just drop the pencil in, and once it’s sharpened to the level you choose, it will automatically eject the pencil. It’s a no-touch device to ensure kids’ safety, so parents and teachers can feel more at ease letting little ones use it.
Designer: AFMAT
Pencils of all shapes and sizes, as long as they’re between 7–11.5 mm, can fit into this robot pencil sharpener. Its optimized mechanism ensures that the pencil is centered, so you don’t get uneven tips—a common problem with most manual sharpeners. It is portable and rechargeable, so kids (and grown-ups!) can bring it wherever they want, as it can fit into a backpack. The battery lasts quite a while on a single charge, making it perfect for school, art classes, or even outdoor sketching sessions.
The device has three sharpness options: sharp, medium, and blunt tip settings. You might think that no one needs blunt tips, but artists prefer them when shading, and there are also kids who have a strong grip on pencils and may need that kind of option. Plus, you can easily switch between settings, making it versatile for different users in the family. It comes in different colors like black, blue, and green, but the most eye-catching one is the purple sharpener.
Whether you’re a dedicated artist, a teacher looking for classroom essentials, a busy parent, or simply someone who can’t resist adorable desk accessories, the AFMAT Electric Pencil Sharpener brings a playful touch to your everyday routine. With its cheerful robot design, user-friendly features, and reliable performance, it proves that practical tools can also spark a little joy in your workspace. So why settle for a boring sharpener when you can have one that makes you smile every time you use it?
