FellowesBinding Machine Quasar+ Comb Binding (5227201), 5.1" x 18.1" x 15.4"

Love it. This has saved me a lot of money for getting others to bind documents. Very easy to use.

Easy to use, well-designed, very high quality, and a value ~ worth the extra expense over cheaper models. With care I can see this lasting a very long time.My only nit is not the fault of Fellowes, but you’ll want to know this ... I bought some store brand 1” binder combs at a well-known office store ... get it, office? Anyway, their combs DO NOT FIT this machine! They’re just a bit small in space between the 19 loops.I thought that I’d be limited to only the Fellowes world of comb binding, but on a hunch I thought of several presentations in my library that were done 10-15+ years ago — by different people in different parts of the US. I tried them out and ALL of those old comb-bound presentations in different sizes fit PERFECTLY on my new Fellowes machine! I have no idea if all of them used Fellowes combs, but the only binder combs out of step in this group were the store brand ones!!I have many copies to make and bind, and my ideal comb size according to the handy measuring tool is 7/8”. Can’t find that size on Amazon, so I guess I’ll go 1”.Other than all that, this is a great machine. One last thing - I use 24 lb. paper, and I figure about 12 sheets is good. A bit more than that and you can tell the cutter is starting to strain. Oh, it’ll go through them, but I want this thing to last a long time so I’ll Baby it and cut fewer sheets each time. Also no problem cutting the thick cardboard outer covers if you need those.If you’re in a busy office and need maximum sheets per cut, maybe there’s a more expensive version, but for light to medium binding I think you’ll be very happy with the Quasar+ 500.

Tengo mas de un año usando el artículo, es de excelente calidad y no me ha fallado, me cuesta trabajo perforar hojas media carta pero supongo que es por que no es el peso completo de la hoja completa tamaño carta.

I bought the binding machine after I returned a horizontal punching machine. This is a vertical punching machine. I've used many types of binding machines and I prefer vertical punching machines. This is a very sturdy machine. It's got some heft to it. It's works great. I don't have to guess if I have the paper in far enough before punching. The punching lever is very sturdy. I like the lid that covers the front of the machine and protects everything.Please note that vertical punching machines are more expensive than horizontal punching machine. I don't understand why, but they are. After doing a lot of research and price comparisons, I got this one. This is a very basic, entry level binding machine and it cost $200. This was the cheapest vertical punching machine I could find. The price only goes up from here. There's also not a lot of manufacturers of vertical punching machines.

This is a low tech, easy to use home type machine for light projects. I wish it could punch more but hey, if you take your time, it does a good job.
