Aside from being adorable, this sharpener has the following features that I love.

Three sharpness settings: I’ll call these extremely sharp, sharp, and not-so-sharp. For the amount of pressure I use when writing, the extremely sharp setting results in the lead breaking, but the sharp setting is plenty sharp to produce a fine line.

Auto-stop: the motor stops automatically once the pencil has reached the specified sharpness. This stops you from wasting pencil length when sharpening.
