My husband and I needed some booklets made for a training class and places we checked were so expensive just for 20. I looked online- found this binding machine and combs and paper for covers- ordered next day delivery and WHAM! We turned out 20 professional looking booklets. My husband did the punching and depending on how many sheets you do need to press hard. But the holes were clean looking, the binder is heavy enough to handle the number of sheets suggested. We have used it a 2nd time and made 25 more- so looking forward to having it help our small business for years to come.
Pros: Alignment Guide, Binding Capacity, Document / Comb Measurement Guide, ease of use, Punch Capacity, Quality Construction
I would recommend this to a friend!

Exceptional Comb Binding Machine
on September 4, 2017
Posted by: HappyCustomer22
Until just recently, I've never owned a comb binding machine and always depended on a third party business for all my binding needs. I happened to catch my comb binding machine on sale but would have gladly paid regular price for it as it will save me plenty of money in the long run. For my newly started business, I will need to put together booklets that will present a professional appearance but not have the burden of paying for a "professional" cost. That's where the Fellowes Star 150 comes in; it provides an easy to use binding operation that a child can do. The Star 150 gives me the option to bind an excellent range of sheets (1-150 sheets of paper or plastic) and being that I print on both sides of my paper, I could easily bind a 300 page book and it uses up to 3/4" combs. It can punch through 15 sheets of standard paper at a time with two separate size settings. If you're shopping for a binding machine that can deliver the demands of high throughput with a quality product, then the Star 150 should do the job with ease. The construction of the machine feels very solid and durable, It has a flexible punch capacity, it's safe to use, and the style and design is something that you're not going to be ashamed of leaving out for others to see. Oh, it also comes with a 2 year manufacturer guarantee! My only gripe (with myself) is that I contemplated so long to buy one ... I just wish I would have done so much sooner...I could have save so much money.
Pros: Alignment Guide, Binding Capacity, Document / Comb Measurement Guide, ease of use, Punch Capacity, Quality Construction, Safety Features, Speed, Warranty, easy to store

Great for Home Office

I am a retired teacher, who could have used this binding machine for my classroom. Now I am a parent volunteer in my daughter's kindergarten classroom. The Star+150 Comb Binding Machine is fairly easy to use and produces great looking bound documents. The only difficulty I had was inserting the plastic comb spine correctly and easily each time. With practice, though, I finally figured out a way to get it right! Overall, the Fellowes Star+150 Comb Binding Machine is well made with great features!
