I found that the pencils sharpen easily in my electric sharpener and swatching them was a pleasure. The colors are gorgeous.
I initially faced issues with sharpening the pencils using other sharpeners, resulting in breakage. However, I found that the sharpeners that came with the pencils worked perfectly and resolved the issue of breakage.

75% were impressed with the color accurcy, though 25% weren't
I found that the cores lay down good color saturation with very little pressure and there is no digging while laying down thick color.
I never liked colored pencils because they were not vibrant enough for me. However, after using these pencils, I have been coloring more and more with colored pencils because they are vibrant.
I am missing most of the blue shades, indicating that the color accuracy of the drawing pencils is not up to the mark.
75% found it durable, but 25% experienced tip breakage
The leads are hard and brittle, making it difficult to get the desired color and damaging the paper.
When I try to sharpen them, the pencils keep breaking and breaking.
The trays are made of flimsy plastic and getting them in and out of the box results in pencils coming loose.
73% praised the lead quality, but 27% experienced breakage
I've noticed that the lead in Crayola pencils is prone to breaking with pressure. However, I've used other brands like Faber Castel Polychromos, Prismacolor, Black Widow, etc. and found that these pencils have a quality closer to Black Widow than Crayola, and for the price, they really surprised me.
I am disappointed with the lead quality of the pencils. The hard and brittle leads make it difficult to achieve the promised rich color. Moreover, the leads break easily while sharpening, rendering them unusable even after sharpening them down to a small size.
Almost every pencil breaks when sharpened and I have to sharpen again.
My pencil's top portion is 75% broken, indicating poor quality of the lead.
