If you remember to keep the page count down to 8 as per instructions it works well. Does as it is designed
This is great for small jobs – not too many pages and not a great many copies. 30 copies of a 40 page presentation would be a challenge.
In a home office it allows me to open a document brief to insert additional pages and to assemble a tidy document compendium or two for my own use. If I need more, I can go to the office where there is heavy duty gear which can handle the big jobs (size and number of copies) but this unit is very handy for the many little jobs which allows me to avoid going downtown any more than is necessary.
Robuste, je l’utilise depuis un an.
Elle est top, je recommande vivement cet appareil!!
Does exactly what it’s supposed to. Very good value for money. Would definitely recommend.
This machine was easy to use and is very sturdy. Great way to organize manuals and loose/staples documents. I purchased covers and other size binding combs separately. It is perfect for home, school or small office needs.
We got this to be able to mail out listing packets to people who requested home values. It works great.
This machine has helped me provide my clients with formal and durable documents.
Love it for binding my daughters notes for classes. Super easy to use. Can only hole punch 12 pages at a time, though.
Reu depuis peu, test une fois.. .Pour l’instant, me semble solide. Je verrai dans le temps et par rapport mon usage, pour ma part relier des manuscrits.
It does work but it doesn’t feel well made. So far it hasn’t broken.
Facile mettre en service, mettre des paquets de 5 pages de prfrence pour prserver l’appareil long terme. Bonne qualit de perforation et facile utilise
Je l’utilise dans mon travail d’atsem et je rvait d’en avoir une la maison chose faite mes enfants sont ravi que je leur confectionne des livrets
Pas encombrante, se range facilement dans un tiroir de bureau de 40 cm de large , pas lourde avec poigne pour la transporter ; elle marche super bie
No where in the instructions does it talk about setting the margins. The margin adjustment is on back of the machine and easily overlooked. This should be in the operating instructions.
Did what wanted it to do, fine finish on work
It works and does what it says, but it frustrating when trying to bind the paper through the rings. It’s not as easy as it looks. You’ll need to do it a few pages at a time.
Used it for making song books. The machine says maximum sheets to punch at a time is 12. That seems to put quite a strain on it, so I punch about 5 or 6 at a time. So it takes a little longer to do projects. The mechanism to open the ring binders works well once you get the hang of it. It’s a good product for home and hobby use, maybe not for heavy duty use in an office.
I should have spent more money to get a better product. I have used these before and this one is not of a similar quality. I make booklets and use laminate sheets as a cover. This binding machine will not cut through clear plastic laminate. What a waste of money.
I watched the video on how to use this product because I never used one before. I highly recommend doing that if you have no experience with this product either. This has been a game-changer for my homeschool I would highly recommend this and have recommended this to a lot of my friends and family.
Thankful for this device. I have constantly been let down by a big corporate copy store when it comes to making booklets or copies. I run a small business so I decided to take matters into my own hands. This makes it quick and simple! Gives a great presentation and is more cost effective than trusting a company to do it!
The product itself is great but when you go up to 13 sheets it’s kind of difficult and you need a lot of force to get all 12 sheets punched. Also, getting the spirals in just right can be difficult but nothing too serious.
I bought this to create 25- 30 page booklets I was using for a training I was giving. It came fast, was easy to set up, understand, and worked exactly as I expected. I made my books with zero problems and was grateful that they included the exact size of combs I needed for my booklets. Only adjustment was to snip off a little of each comb (after binding the books) cause they were a bit too long – easy peasy. So grateful when things flow!
It’s lightweight, and although the handle does stick out, it’s easy enough to store on the top shelf of a shelving unit until it’s needed.
The only downside is that the tray that collects the punches seems to not sit flush with the base (or something), so whenever I pick it up, there are little rectangles that get left behind. For me, that’s not a deal-breaker, and wasn’t enough for me to deduct a star.
One word of advice: If you start punching pages on one machine, you really should finish on the same machine. In my situation, I started with the machine at school, but made the switch to this one halfway through. The holes didn’t line up, which resulted in me cutting off about half an inch from the left margin and repunching all the pages using one machine.
Small, but sturdy. Doesn’t do a whole lot of sheets at once, but does the job is was designed for!
I had to order it twice in order to get it, it was lost by the carrier first time. But once it arrived it was well worth the wait! The only negative i can come up with at this point is that the Binding Combs that come with the machine need to be cut down to size for letter size paper. I will get plenty of use out of this machine for sure!
I love how simple this machine is. The setup was one thumbscrew to attach the arm and I was off. I cranked out 12 booklets in just a few minutes with zero issues. I did find that it was best to punch through the front and back heavyweight covers first and then my 10 sheets of copy paper next before attaching the comb spine. Plus, the easy to set edge guide meant perfect alignment every time. I’ve saved a ton of money already!
A few lessons learned when using this at 4AM to make 4 books due in a few hours. 1. It has trouble punching through 4 sheets of acetate. Although it can maybe punch 12 sheets of paper, the acetate can make the machine jam and then it will be difficult to get it unstuck.
2. Practice on spare sheets to get the alignment perfect. Sheets need to be square and held firmly against the back for any shift results in misalignment. The machine worked fine on card stock backers for the booklets I was binding.
3. be careful not to bunny ear any sheets when sliding them into the machine. It’s sometimes difficult to see what’s going on so you have to “feel” if the sheets are all laying flat.
Once I got the hang of it, it works great and the books turn out fine. I prefer spiral bound, but this was way more budget friendly.
Its obvious superior performance to a cheap model which constantly jammed.
I like this product. Its exactly what I was looking for. It’s easy to use and perfect for home jobs. I’m a substitute teacher and used to the very large, industrial ones at the school, so this one is not like that. But, it’s useful and effective for jobs the smaller jobs at home.
wish it could be more sturdy than what it is, works ok , not as easy as other models, it can use some modifications.
I purchased this product for a family project. It works very well with card stock pages.
Very easy to use. The very day I got it I assembled two 45 page books. They look professional.
I love this! Great value for money fun to use and great for crating books for my children.
Looooove it
Oh I couldn’t figure how to use the top bit so I you tubed it. Hope that helps
Put my hand there so you can roughly guess the size.
My advice…. Buy it you will be so happy you did
Esta maquina es muy buena , pero no la recomiendo para alto volmenes de trabajo
Facile d’utilisation, j’ai l’habitude de me servir de la relieuse de mon travail qui a coute nettement plus chre pourtant je ne trouve pas cette relieuse soit ridicule ct. Elle fait parfaitement le job et elle a l’air assez solide.
Rapport qualit / prix au top. a me permet de relier les dossiers de mon fils qui a rgulirement des documents a rendre pour le lyce.
Was using clip on binders for odd paperwork, but these are so easy to use and give a very professional finish. Very pleased.
I should of got this a long time ago for my business. Easy to use. Made my own calendars, and bookelts.
Easy to use, cuts well, only drawback is that it won’t bind it for you. I had to bind it manually which took a while for the volume I had. Otherwise it’s an excellent value for this price. I would definitely recommend it.
didn’t do two laminated sheets well so can only do one of those at a time. also, was difficult to keep handle from going too far forward or back with the different functions. wish the handle would store downward and not sticking straight up. I like the alignment base which another I use doesn’t have. Serves it’s purpose.
Facile, efficace, pas besoin d’aller au centre de reprographie deux fois.
Good for starting to make professional look to it and reusable as well.
I used it now for 4 times to bind stuff for myself and my children… It works flawlessly …
Good Binder, used for a Calendar, just make sure you get THE PVE Come size as to the thickness of Paper used. Will have to know the size range for this Unit. The manufacture should state this.
It easily punches 10-12 sheets at a time. The size is great for use at home to create books for school. I don’t have to stay after school for hours to use the machine at school. Love having my own binder!!
This company was great to deal with. Would recommend this product and this company.
Does what it says it does, easy to assemble and they fixed the issues that people previously mentioned in their reviews — the one where the handle mechanism was bending due to poor craftsmanship. It doesn’t even resemble the same metal piece.
Worked well punching 413 pages for me, no problems.
I gave it one star less due to the stiffness of the machine, its like it needs something to make it run a little smoother but it doesn’t effect the overall use of the machine.
Putting the plastic spine is was easy peasy. Great addition to the home office.
Used to make 40 page reports. Easy to use and reports looked professional when finished.
Whilst overall it is pretty good, it is a bit difficult to put the paper on.
Purchased this for my mother in law (80 years young) for making calendars. The price was excellent and she said “It works like a hot dam”
Pas eu de soucis depuis que je l’ai achet.
Rapport qualit prix vraiment bien et facile d’utilisation.
This product enables the user to put together professional quality reports and presentations for a fraction of the cost of out- sourcing. Great value for money.
The binding machine is an easy to use machine that allowed us to put together a book we created. The process is simple, you need to do about 4 to 5 pages at a time. The process of opening the spine is simple and the outcome was lovely.
This is a good easy to use binder, sadly only comes with small binding combs but does exactly what it’s supposed to
I went to UPS and got one of my books organized with binder, it cost me $12, well I needed to do 5 more books, so I was like well if I buy this machine it will be the same price and I can use it in the future as well. Getting use to using the binder takes practice but overall it was fun and easy. I love this machine.
J’adore!! Assez facile utiliser lorsqu’on regarde bien les instructions! Fait de trs beaux documents faibles cots. Toutes mes lectures d’universits sont maintenant relies.
An affordable option but you need to be quite patient to use this product can be fidley at times.
Very good for small batches of work. But not good if you need to produce more than 10 booklets at a time.
It doesn’t punch more than 3-4 sheets at a time. It doesn’t punch the clear plastic cover sheets. It was not worth the money. Get a stronger model. I will have to replace this one.
Very solid and nice pack, it has everything you need and cuts nicely and very easy to use. Really love it!
I use it to bind my papers and make notebooks with all my printed notes
Really good and easy to use
Limit to 10 pages per binding otherwise difficult to bind
eliures de divers documents qui taient jusqu’ici en vrac ou sous pochette plastique
Got this for my special education classroom since the school one is far away and they never have any binds anyway. This one is just as sturdy and can handle any size of bind i’ve tried so far. Works better with cardstock or laminated paper than just regular pages, but that’s not a problem.
Good product.
Great product. It does a good job binding. Makes your project or reports look great.
Very easy to use.
Follow simple instructions and you are all set.
I purchased a different binding machine that I had to return because it didn’t work, so checked the reviews on this one and it worked great! Easy to understand instructions, and worked like a charm! The only thing it doesn’t seem to punch a huge amount of paper at once, like they say it punches 12 I put maybe 8 and it seemed tough to punch. I bought this machine to bind legal documents for my work. I am very happy with how easy it is to use.
Achete pour du booking, je regrette de ne pas avoir choisis un modle de qualit suprieure, mais bon fais le travail sans plus.
I decided to buy e-books this year to save money and printed the books myself. I was going to have Staples bind the workbooks but realized how much money I would save by doing it myself. Another homeschool mom had recommended this specific binding machine so based on good reviews, I purchased it myself. Very happy with the the binder. Note that the actual binders included in the kit are small. I just had to order the 1″ size separately.
Great product. Super easy and simple to use to bind my items. Easy to clean. Little bits get stuck at the bottom so I pick up with vacumme hose.
J’ai command cette perfo-relieuse pour une urgence professionnelle et l’ai reu le lendemain !
Trs bien emball et machine rceptionne en trs bon tat. Installation et utilisation trs simple (pas plus de 10 pages la fois). Rendu trs net. Trs bon rapport qualit/prix !
Je recommande fortement ce produit qui peut servir autant pour des rendus professionnels que pour la vie perso.
I wish there where different sizes for the big comb rather than the just ones they provided. I can cut them easily but I can’t use the binder because they aren’t set straight. I’ll have to fix that. But otherwise this is a good value book binding machine to do home creativity.
I bought this to replace a light-use binding unit that died on me, since I bind the books I put together for my private music students. This is a much better machine than that one, and cost about the same.
It is not nearly as sturdy as the heavy-duty one our office purchased years ago to bind thousands of booklets containing 100+ pages. However, that one also cost hundreds of dollars more.
For the job it does, and for what it cost, it was very good value for the $$.
On peut facilement mettre 12-13 feuilles de papier, 2 cartons ou 2 couvertures plastique et les trous se font bien sans forcer. Les dents du peigne permettent effectivement de faire des boudins jusqu’ 450 feuilles, comme promis. GNIAL!
There is nothing to dislike if you need to bind something. It was more economical that having my project bound by a service company.
Onley down side is when u punch the holes it bends a little to the left but does not affect it at all works fine my kids love it thay get to make books
I’ve had no problems making comb-bound booklets with 8.5×11 (US letter) pages. Use the included cardboard sheet to do 6-8 test punches to clean the grease from the teeth. Slide the red size selector to the far left and ~10 pages punch easily. The teeth holes line up nicely within the 8.5″ page length and all you need to do is trim the comb on the end (it is designed for 21 holes). The included 3/8″ comb binders can hold about 20 pages if you are patient. The only caution I have is to only punch 1 sheet of clear plastic presentation covers at a time. The plastic is gummy enough that the teeth won’t cut two or more at a time. One at a time, it works fine. I cut a full box of 100 plastic cover pages to test this unit before moving onto paper (10 sheets at a time). Very pleased with the value for money.
Excellent product. Easy to use book binder for my documents. Just follow instruction manual.
Arriv de mon relieur en bon tat et bien emball. Perfore trs bien 3 feuilles la fois de 28 livres et facile de relier mes livres avec les baguettes de reliure. Satisfaite de mon achat. Je le recommande.
Otherwise, I followed the instructions to punch at least 7 sets of holes in the cardboard that came with the unit to remove the manufacturing oil. I did about 10 sets to be safe.
I quickly punched and bound a PDF manual I printed off a couple weeks ago using the 19 hole setting for 8.11 x 11 sized paper and voila. Worked perfectly.
The density/weight/thickness/composition of the paper will determine how many sheets you can punch. I’d say maybe 10-11 sheets at 20 weight max per punch (to be safe & not break anything) and it goes down from there as the weight increases. You can certainly punch cardstock and 10 mil lamination, I punched 10 mil laminated 40 weight cardstock without issue but you’ll be punching one page at a time.
The handle is easily removed for storage and the spacing appears equal with the punch and comb. All in all for household and light office/school use this is a fine machine.
The housing is plastic but mechanically inside when I took a peek, everything appeared to be metal. So with care and not over exertion, this machine should last.
Just to stress, this is not a high capacity, high volume office unit, this is a home/small office/light school use binding machine, it’s great for small projects and light/occasional use but if you’re going to be putting together dozens of books a day or want to punch 40 or 100 sheets at a time, don’t get this.
I highly recommend this unit.
Very simple to use.
I made a picture book for my new grandson so this was perfect.
Great machine. Easy to put together – just the handle to fix into the side.
Doesn’t need a lot of pressure to go through paper or when binding the comb pa
This is a great product for anyone that needs to bind pages in booklet format.
Easy to use.
as for value, I will only give 4 stars because based on the quality I can only pay $25 for the item. not $50.
I also recorded a video to show you how efficient is it. If you are a student and you face lots of papers every day I would recommend to have one of these at home instead of going to stores!
And the value for the money is very good. I am happy that I didn’t wast my money by buying an expensive one, cuz this one totally satisfied me.
For sturdy I rated a 3 star because so light weight it moves when trying to use it. I fastened it to wood and stopped that issue. I want mine to last so I’m not overloading it. What I’m punching is laminated so one at a time. It bound up on two sheets laminated. One sheet at a time punched 800 pages without a hitch. Excellent product for price.
I work in an office that binds A LOT. I purchased this machine as a back up, as last week I monopolized our main machine to do 30,000 pages.
This machine would be great for an office (or home, or wherever) that needs to bind materials every now and then, or has smaller books to bind.
I’ve used the machine for the last two days, and I’m very happy with my purchase.
Machine livre avec une patte plie que j’ai redress pour ne pas la renvoyer. Utilisation facile .
Ne pas dpasser 40 feuilles relier sinon galre pour moi….
Ne pas dpasser 6 feuilles a perforer
Sinon fait le travail demand, voir aprs plusieurs utilisations
I saw this on this website . I dont know or was not advised as to the correct binder to purchase as this is my first time.
When it arrived;
1. I was shocked that it was so light – this is good for me,
2. The instructions were so easy to follow.
3. The price is so affordable.
Thank you amazon!!!!!!!!!
We do a lot of reporting, so this comes in very handy. Its easy to use, the report can be in decent thickness. Comes with the black binder which is awesome. Makes my reports look very professional
And that little knob used to adjust the width, I think it’s better explained to say it determines how many holes will be at the top. I had to adjust cause it punched over the sides of the paper. I also did a few practice runs with scratch paper before I punched my calendars. I punched 30 calendars with absolutely no problem. I even checked the gear/lever after, it was fine. Overall good product.
We bought this for work since our old one broke. Even this is a manual machine it still works very well. I received it within three day, it was packaged nicely with no damage. Only thing you have to attach to get started is the handle which is all metal of some kind. It comes with 100 combs with is really nice so you don’t have to buy any right away. we had it up and running within two minutes and have made over 30 items so far with no problem.
The binding machine is quite helpful for filling as long as you get used to the operation. Great value with the box of bindings, it could use for a long time. Good design also margins setting. It is highly recommended.
Appareil pour sauver du temps et de l’argent, plus besoin de se dplacer tout se fait la maiso
I liked the machine so far, no complaints so far. It took care if my requirements will paperwork. It allows to slide legal size paper , of course doesn’t punch the full length of legal size paper.
It turned out to be a much better product than the Swingline GBC Binding Machine and at a very reasonable price.
Most convenient binding machine for a large workload, a very strong dual handle which are also long enough to provide sufficient leverage. Easy to use and quite a weight, the instruction include images so easy to undersatnd, however i did find it difficult, but managed to used it in the end.
