    I’m very happy with this purchase and it’s perfect for cutting my laminated papers

    I had to give it a 5 star for lightweight because it has hardly any weight to it. This does make it feel a little cheap, cuts paper fine although with card I’d probably only do one sheet at once. Gets the job done, can be a bit inaccurate and cuts aren’t always clean but overall it’s ok for the price.

    The extending ruler helps me accurately cut specific lengths without needing to mark up first.
    Nice little item considering the price. Does the job of my old, more expensive and now obsolete paper cutter. Recommended.

    This is so easy to use wish I had bought one ages ago, I do have a Cutterpillar paper trimmer which has never cut straight and for the money has always been a disappointment so now use this all the time.

    I’ve had this a few weeks now and have been using it almost every day to cut down A4 to A5, but it’s only since returning to leave a review that I noticed from the photo that there’s an arm that comes out to allow you to measure larger pieces of paper! So far I’ve been lightly folding A4 in half, marking the centre point with a pen, and then cutting along the line that starts at the dotted fold point. NO NEED!
    Even better than I realised!
    It’s also lightweight and safe to use because you need to apply a little pressure to cut.

    I use mine for cutting vinyl and paper and it’s held up over the past few months with constant use, highly recommend. Purchased as my other guillotines were either too big and the other too small. Love the fact the ruler protracts so you can measure longer lengths, was tight to start with but once it’s been used a few times it loosens up.

    Cuts well, sharp blade and lightweight.
    But I don’t like this cutter as I would prefer the cutting edge to be at the outside edge of the board. This is my own personal preference and no fault of the product.

    Compact paper cutter. Very easy to use. Does feel a little bit flimsy but great for the price.

  18. JaunitaWheat says:

     United Kingdom

    It takes a bit of time to get used to for 2 main reasons.
    1) You have to apply the right pressure to get a smooth cut – too hard or too light and it just won’t cut. This one has a raised blade(?) for safety purposes. Once you get the hang of it you should be fine
    2) Where exactly it will cut is kind of guesswork…

    Also its impossible to cut small bits of paper off because of yet again the raised blade and pressure etc.

    Would recommend if you want one just to have to cut rough bits of paper from time to time but would definitely not risk this on important work lol

    For the price this is a great buy ! I use it for my small business , to cut wrappers to size . It can be a little tricky to cut against a specific line as you have to line it up with the cutting line ( the ruler holds the paper in place but the blade doesn’t cut directly against the ruler ) however once you get the hang of it , it’s fine ! It’s still lots better than scissors and I wouldn’t really spend more just to get that little more accuracy !
    Very lightweight , I have cut well over 100 wrappers so far and the blade is still going strong

    I was just looking for a guillotine style cutter to cut the edges off heavy card which I’d used for painting and crafts.

    Nice finished item. What I like is that you can buy spare wheels, useful if you cut a lot of card, probably no need for if you only cut paper like I do. The plastic guide lifts up and is shaped in the middle so you can get hold of it easily. Handy for removing small pieces of cut off paper and to position the paper for cutting. Full marks for this one.

    This guillotine/paper cutter is a good little cutter! It does the job well enough for small home projects or arts and crafts work.
    If you need this for any high-accuracy work however, I would consider spending a little more and getting something a little better made.

    Lining up the paper with this cutter is a hit-and-miss game. Unfortunately on the item I received, the extendable arm designed to line up paper and guide it in to the cutter doesn’t sit sturdy at 90 degrees, so you can’t rely on it for accuracy.
    Similarly, the cutting edge glides over a wide groove, with little in the way of visual aids to help line the paper up.

    When it comes to the actual cutting, you have to push the cutter down, simultaneously holding the paper in place and engaging the blade to the cutting position. It seems sharp and I had no issue cutting up to 5 pages at once and I expect it could manage twice that.

    A great purchase for home use, but probably wouldn’t be much good for an office/work environment.

    I love this, its light and compact, and it trims paper just how I’d like it. I don’t use the other features it is capable of. The only downside is it doesn’t trim loads of pieces of paper in one go, I tend to stick with 5-6 which I think is sufficient, but that’s just me being picky really. It’s great for what it does.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersNice guillotine for little money.

    This guillotine is not heavy duty. If will cut 3 pieces of paper at most, and craft card so is very good at what it is made for.

    It is made of hard plastic not metal, so is fairly lightweight. The blade is a safety blade so you have to push down whilst cutting.

    I bought it for my daughter and when it arrived she spent the whole evening cutting and sticking and she had no issues once I taught her to push the blade down to cut.

    Nice guillotine for crafts.
