[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow! I really am impressed with this machine. It is a good size, good quality, and it works really well. I used it to do booklets for an event and it came out perfect. The hole punch works great and takes a lot of paper at once. The stapler also is sturdy takes a lot of paper at once which makes it easy to do the job. The Binding is incredible and I really enjoyed it's easy yet it does a great job. I'm very satisfied with this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Product arrived well packaged & safe. Ready to use right out of the box. I liked the looks. Blend right into the office equipment. Not too big. A little confusing at first to use, but real easy once you figured it out. I was up & running within minutes. Love the Binder. Does everything in one place! Don't have to move from machine to machine. I received this product free in exchange for my honest & unbiased review. C

Works amazingly well!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I work in an office and bind books for financials, board meetings, and customers. Very easy to learn and use. I love the weight and sturdiness. It does not slide or move around on use. I’ve used bigger, heavier electric machines and this product works as well, if not better. I haven’t had this product long, but punches paper like butter. From past experience, it is better not to overload too many pages at a time for best performance. Therefore, I haven’t tried full punch capacity of 20 sheets for binder or 30 sheets for 3-hole punch. Binding capacity is up to 300 sheets which covers most everything I bind. It is easy to remove the binding if you want to add or change a page. The comb measurement guide is a little lacking, but the comb boxes usually have a guide for number of pages for each comb size.
I love the added convenience of the 3-hole punching and stapling besides the main comb punch and binding. It would be nice to add the option to 2-hole punch paper as well, but it does not have enough allowance to center the 2 holes at the top of a page. That is just an afterthought and does not detract from this great product. This is definitely the best manual comb binder I’ve used in the last 20 years.
I received this product free in exchange for my honest unbiased review.
Pros: Alignment Guide, ease of use, Quality Construction
Cons: Document / Comb Measurement Guide
I would recommend this to a friend!

Amazing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] At first like any kind d of machine. You are not used to it. But once you finger it out. You are great. The machine is a great size. Not overly huge. Perfect fora small office. I work at home helping my mom out with office things. So this was just what I needed it for. Just the job great. So with the hole puncher I didn't want to overload it so I put like 25 papers. Work good came out nice and holes were Even. The stapler I put 25 papers .amazing staple fine. Just I know say you can put more but didn't want to push it. The coolest was the blinder thing. I used it to put important papers so I wouldn't lose them. I did it with 100 the first time. Still getting used to it. But overall it's a great machine for a small office or small project.

Innovative tool

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the Lyra 3 in 1 biding center for my girlfriend who is a teacher and I thought this would bring a tremendous help in her classroom. She was delighted with the surprise and took it to school the next day, very excited to try it. It’s a very innovative, cool and very handy tool to have in a classroom. The Lyra incorporates 3 different uses in one machine : comb biding, stapler and three hole punch. What an amazing tool at a great value.

Excellent Product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The comb binding part of the machine is very easy to use, I like how easy it is to use to repair or replace the comb bind or if you have to add or remove pages or covers. The 3 hole punch works great you can punch 30 sheets of 20lb bond with ease, same for the comb binding. the stapler can staple 30 sheets very easily which is the recommended amount of sheets for the staple but because of the extended arm on the stapler that makes stapling so easy I tried 50 sheets which was still easy to staple. if you use the right amount of sheets for the size staple, it staples perfectly and there is no sharpness to the underside of the staple as it curls it over perfectly.

Thank you for your feedback, Eagleman! While the unit is robust, we also suggest staying within the recommendations regarding the punch and staple capacity. We appreciate how you included the information regarding the effectiveness of the stapler to seal the staple. :)
