Your needs, this model
Does it fit your priorities?
Will the Blue PS107 handle a 7 mm colored pencil at an outlet?
AFMAT names colored pencils and states 6–8 mm, so a measured 7 mm shaft is within the maker's interval. It is not a fit test for a specific barrel profile. The page describes a corded 120 V plug-in arrangement; verify the exact seller's electrical label.
Explore this need in the finder →Can PS107 change point shape and stop cutting at the intended point?
AFMAT lists sharp, medium and blunt settings and says cutting no longer shaves once its ideal point is reached. It gives no numeric point shape or test, and that wording does not prove a motor cutoff or an indicator light.
Explore this need in the finder →Does the Blue PS107 accept soft waxy pencils, crayons or chalk?
AFMAT says those media may jam the cutter and are not suited to the model. The broader soft/waxy requirement is not supported, even though the page also names ordinary colored pencils.
Explore this need in the finder →The Blue PS107 is reviewed as its own model
AFMAT's U.S.-English listing identifies a Blue PS107, and its separate model-detail page is headed PS107. The saved row has its own product ID, Blue variant ID and PS107 SKU. That keeps it distinct from Black PS106 and Green PS108 despite similar photos and other Blue/Green choices on the PS106 page.
The PS107 detail page describes a plug-in machine for 6–8 mm woodcase pencils, with three point settings and a helical blade. It does not establish a functional upgrade over PS106. This is an assessment of manufacturer documentation, not a hands-on test.
Ordinary pencils in a maker-stated 6–8 mm range
AFMAT names woodcase graphite, standard No. 2 and colored pencils and gives a 6–8 mm diameter range. For a household, classroom or drawing desk that mostly uses standard pencils, this is a helpful initial filter. It remains a manufacturer-stated band, not a measured aperture or proof that every pencil sold as “colored” will fit. The documentation reviewed does not name supported round, hexagonal or triangular shaft profiles, nor does it provide a minimum pencil length. A barrel that measures 8 mm at its widest point is at the top of the stated range; unusual shapes and coatings should be checked against the actual unit rather than forced.
PS107's soft-media limitation is explicit. AFMAT warns against crayons, chalk and soft waxy pencils because they may jam the cutter. That matters for art classes as much as the broad colored-pencil label: a standard colored pencil is not necessarily a soft or wax-heavy one. The product page does not identify an anti-clog cutter gear, and its helical-blade wording alone does not prove resistance to wax buildup. If you routinely sharpen soft-core pencils, use a model with exact-source support for those media rather than extrapolating from this listing.
Point settings help with choice, not exact point measurement
AFMAT lists sharp, medium and blunt points but gives no angle, length or selector-to-point chart. It says the blade no longer shaves after the point is ideally sharp, including when the user continues to press. This is a maker-described point effect, not evidence of a motor cutoff or identical geometry across different cores.
The page describes automatic start on insertion and light pressure, but no completion lamp. It separately says the unit will not work if the shavings box is removed or not tightly closed. This operating interlock is distinct from point control and is not a child-safety certification.
Headline speed and capacity claims need restraint
The title advertises 3–5 seconds per pencil and 10,000-plus sharpenings without an independent test procedure, pencil core or material-removal standard. The detail page also says up to 10,000 uses, which does not establish minimum life. Treat the speed and cutter figures as maker claims, not guaranteed service intervals.
The exact PS107 page conflicts on workload: a feature bullet says 100 pencils at a time without overheating; the product description/specification says 250 at a time or consecutively. It does not reconcile the conditions, so neither figure is used as a duty-cycle rating. Ask for current operating limits rather than planning around one headline number.
Confirm the outlet label and keep the shavings box seated
The exact PS107 details describe a corded arrangement, a 120 V wall plug and a 55 W figure. The printed electrical string is “120V-5/60Hz, 55W,” whose frequency notation is unclear; do not assume it means a tested 60 Hz rating. Verify the electrical label on the actual Blue unit before use. The maker's package description names a sharpener and a user manual, but that does not confirm what every seller supplies or whether an offered listing is exactly PS107 Blue.
AFMAT lists 5.70 × 4.72 × 4.13 inches and 2.2 pounds but does not label the axes. It describes four suction cups and an overheat stop, without a stability test or temperature threshold. Cord length, bin capacity, cleanout method and replacement-cutter details are not established. Leave access to the drawer and use the exact instructions for emptying and jam clearing.
When the Blue PS107 makes sense to compare
Keep the Blue PS107 on a shortlist if your everyday pencils are ordinary woodcase graphite or colored pencils in the stated 6–8 mm interval, you want a fixed outlet setup, and the three named point choices matter. The separately described shavings-box interlock may also be relevant to a shared desk. Check your actual pencil shape and the unit's electrical label. It is not a documented choice for the broad soft-waxy, crayon or chalk mix, and the published workload statements are too inconsistent to substantiate a particular classroom capacity.
Black PS106 has a separate exact model page with a closely similar claim set. The reviewed material does not support saying PS107 sharpens better, lasts longer or includes different hardware because it is Blue. Its SKU and catalogue IDs nevertheless remain distinct. Verify the exact PS107 code, package and outlet label instead of relying on a family photo or color swatch.
