I've been using these binding machines for years and I always go back to Star. I love the ease of use, especially for the price. I do wish that there was a way to lock the lid open, just to mitigate times when I'm adjusting the machine and it flips closed, but that would be my only offer of improvement!
Pros: Alignment Guide, Binding Capacity, Document / Comb Measurement Guide, ease of use, Quality Construction
Cons: Punch Capacity
I would recommend this to a friend!

We appreciate your great review and feedback, AtlantaBeltline!
I work with special needs and we have to laminate all of our manipulatives and books that we make for the class. I just finished making all of the morning work binders for the class and usually it takes me a month or so to do this with going between the laminator the punch and the binding all separate. With this machine it took me only a day to get all the pages punched and binded together in a few hours it cuts down the time so much its amazing. The only issue is that sometimes the lamination wouldnt come off of the punch all the way but it was nothing that I couldnt pull off. All in all 10/10. Would totally reccomend to anyone.

Hi jessS27. Thank you for sharing your experience! Time is valuable so we are glad to hear using the binder really saved you so much time. Thank you for choosing Fellowes!
I would suggest you add a QR code that leads to a video on how to use the machine. The pictures are okay but a video would really help to understand how to use it right away.
Pros: Alignment Guide, ease of use, Punch Capacity, Safety Features
Cons: Document / Comb Measurement Guide, Speed

Thank you for sharing your suggestion, BossDOO! We appreciate the recommendation and feedback. Thank you for choosing Fellowes!
I got this binder to replace my 10 year old one. This one is much better than the last one in being able to center and punch correctly. I also love the design that allows it to fold up and not take up so much space. So far, this is an excellent upgrade.
Pros: Alignment Guide, Binding Capacity, ease of use, Punch Capacity
This is the perfect personal punch binder for real estate projects! Listing packets look so much better in this format instead of just stapled. It is small enough to not take up a huge amount of space on my desk and it is easy to use.
