Fellowes 5216901 Quasar 500 Electric Comb Binding System, 16 7/8 x 15 3/8 x 5 1/8, Metallic Gray, Alloy Steel

works great saved me about 12 hours of work, punched 20 to 25 pages with accuracy and binding aligned perfectly. Well built and easy to use.

Excellent purchase very easy to use

I totally wish I had purchased this a long time ago as it is worth the money. Great machine, sturdy, a little heavy (no complaints at all just giving a review), well built, fast, easy to use. If you have ever used a manual binding machine, you know how long it takes to punch and bind. After one use you will not go back to manual unless your power goes out. Capable of punching and assembling as you go. Totally like the tray that holds the binding combs. Nice feature so that I don't have to keep the box on the table. This machine is so easy to use I had help from a sixth grader who after a little supervising and instructions was able to do it on her own. Just make sure that your paper sits all the way down inside the punching area. Use the line on the lid is your guide that the paper sits down properly. The edge of your paper should be flush with the line on the lid. I highly recommend to anyone who is considering purchasing this machine

Upgraded from manual one to this one Electric version made everything so easy We used manual one long years I was little hesitated to purchase electric model first because I though it will get stuck and will go to garbage but works flawlessly so I am very happy with this purchase

The machine works great to punch holes in paper, but when I try to punch holes in the plastic front and back covers it does not punch through completely. I have to cut the remaining pieces off, but I'm not able to fully remove the pieces so there are sharp edges on an otherwise professional looking product.

This is a great machine. I have used this machine for the last 6 months or so, once a week I make books of a couple hundred pages covers about 20 at a time, and I use 1/2 inch combs . This takes me about 3 or 4 hours, start to finish. It's easy to use and the only problems I've had turned out to be user sloppiness. I recommend this machine, works great, was delivered fast as promised.

I’ve used so many of the manual ones it’s not funny, this year during a project I do every year I said let’s go big, the manual one is dull after the project, this one worked flawless and it appears it will for years to come. Cut binding time by 75% due to the electric punch

I have used this binder for several months now and have found it to be reliable, sturdy and relatively easy to use. The plusses to the machine are: * Electric punching * A large lever and smooth mechanical operation of the comb setting device * Onboard comb storage and size gauge * Quiet operation * Heavy enough to stay put during use Punching and binding small booklets is a snap. For about 10 pages or less it is punch, load comb, pull lever, set paper, release lever and you are done. Larger jobs require that you load the paper onto the comb as you slowly let it curl back into shape. Otherwise, the back pages will not get bound as the comb curls up in front of them. However, I really can't think of what else you might want in a small office/home binding machine.
