Fellowes Quasar 130 Wire Binding Machine Product Review

Wire binding is one of the most popular document finishing methods around and with machines such as the Fellowes Quasar 130 Wire Binding Machine, it's easy to see why. This is a brand new product from the office supply titan and it's a pretty impressive one. It's designed beautifully, it's easy to use, and it comes with a lot of thoughtful features, such as a carrying handle. Unfortunately, it does have a couple of weaknesses as well, such as its lack of disengageable pins. Do this device's strengths outweigh its weaknesses? Continue reading to find out.

Strengths:

The Quasar offers vertical punching of up to 15 sheets at a time. Vertical punching ensures that each punching job will be perfect.
This device can bind booklets using spines that are up to 9/16" thick and have a 3.1 pitch. This means it can make books than contain up to 130 pages.
The Quasar is a really nicely designed machine. It will fold up when not in use so you can easily store it away. It even has a handle so you can move it around without any trouble. The punching handle is U-shaped so anyone, right- or left-handed, can easily punch his/her documents.
The design of this device supports continuous punching and binding so you can get your booklets bound a lot faster.
There is an integrated storage tray for your wire spines. Also, the Quasar has a thickness measurement device so you can find out how thick your document is and then use the appropriate spine.
Some of the other nice features include a chip tray window (so you can see if the tray needs emptying), a carrying handle, and a fully adjustable rotary edge guide so your document will be perfectly centered during the binding process.
The Quasar measures 5.125" (height) x 18.125" (width) x 15.375" (depth), so it has a reasonably sized footprint. And as mentioned before, you can fold it up and store it when you don't need to have it out.
Finally, this machine has a pretty generous 2-year warranty. A starter kit containing covers and spines is included so the machine can be used right away.

Weaknesses:

The Quasar doesn't have disengageable pins, so binding special-sized documents will be either difficult or impossible. There is also no adjustable margin depth control, so users won't be able to control where their holes are punched. Also, the machine can only produce a 3:1 pitch pattern.
The punching and binding capacities will be a concern for some people. While the 130-page length is adequate for a lot of documents, it's just not enough for others. If you'd like to create longer documents, you may want to take a look at the Fellowes lineup of Helios thermal binders. One of those devices can bind booklets that contain up to 600 pages.
Although the punching lever is great for both left- and right-handed people, the wire-closing lever is located on the left side of the unit. Some people might having trouble using this part due to its location.

Overall, the Fellowes Quasar 130's weaknesses are overshadowed by the machine's strengths, so long as you don't need disengageable pins and are at ease with the punching and binding capacities. This device would be a good choice for small or medium-sized offices that need a good-looking wire binder that's easy to operate and packed with some nice, thoughtful features.
