Fellowes Pulsar+ 300 Manual Comb Binding Machine

Met expectations, very good quality

I had an inexpensive binder and was continually frustrated with feeding pages into the comb binding, I looked at several machines and decided that this one would meet most of my needs. I was nicely surprised at the quality of this machine. It is so easy to use and I can actually punch and bind at the same time.

Didn't get the same item, as I had seen!

I absolutely can't say enough about this binding machine. It is beautiful, but more than that, it is durable. I was looking for a binding machine for personal use. I'm into genealogy, and from time to time want to make a book on families. I researched the machines and had decided to buy a Fellowes; however, when I went into our Office Depot, they only had Swingline machines in stock. So, rather than wait for ordering a Fellowes, I bought a Swingline top of the line. Brought it home, and I think it only punched two pages before it quit. Totally quit. Took it back to the store for a refund. Then I went online and found the Fellowes one on sale for less than the Swingline. I was skeptical, but saw the great reviews! What a difference!! The quality is amazing. I LOVE IT!!! Look no further if you are in the market for a binding machine. THIS IS THE ONE!!!!

excellent!

Purchased this fellows binding machine last week on Amazon and on sale for about $60. It is wonderful, heavy duty and intuitively simple to figure out even without its instruction booklet. I say this as I almost did not buy it because of some complaints about how hard it was to figure out how to insert the spirals for lack of good information in the booklet. I figured it out, without the booklet, in under 3 minutes. I bought it as I had to prepare a booklet and after visiting a print shop found out that the price to do 65 booklets was over $800. I did the same thing, machine and supplies included for under $100 and 2 hours of my time. Great buy and great machine.

I love how easy it is to use this binder. Particularly the ability to punch pages, insert them on the binder comb, punch additional pages and insert them, etc. My old comb binder required punching all sheets first and then creating the booklet. I do have to make a little extra effort to be sure the pages are accurately aligned in the punch or the they won't punch evenly. Occasionally I have holes that aren't completely punched in plastic covers, which prevents this rating from being 5 stars. But if I'm careful as I go, I usually have no issues!

Easy to use. Looks great and even folds up for storage.

I've been using binding machines for 2 decades. I really enjoy using this machine. The only issues I've had are the guides and it is difficult to tell if your pages are clear at the bottom to make sure you don't waste paper or covers.

I had purchased a Swingline Binding Machine two years ago and thought it was a great machine. It was easy to operate (looked nice) but it failed me miserably when I was under pressure to put together a presentation for a Board Meeting. Very disappointed!! The presentations had to be stapled....! I decided to replace the Swingline with a Fellowes product because I have had good experiences with their products in the past. So far, the Pulsar+300 machine has performed extremely well. The cover folds down over the machine and stores very well.
