Xyron Personal Paper Trimmer Review
Are you the owner of a Xyron Creative Station or do you just need a simple rolling trimmer that won't cost you an arm and a leg? If so, there is one product you must know about: the Xyron Personal Paper Trimmer. Here is all you need to know about this device so you can determine if this is the product you've been looking for.
Advantages
- This is a rotary trimmer that has been especially designed for personal use. It is lightweight and portable due to its small size and construction.
- This Xyron product can trim documents and other items that are up to 9 inches long. It would be great for cutting regular paper, as well as pictures, specialty papers, laminated documents, magnets, and more.
- This device will actually grip the surface you place it on. This ensures that the unit will stay put when you use it so your cuts will be perfect. Also, this device will hold on to your items when you cut them.
- Blade refills are available for when your blade becomes too dull. The blades are very easy to install.
- This is a very inexpensive paper cutter even though it carries the famous Xyron name. This product will cost you less than $9.00 so if you need an affordable rolling trimmer, this unit could be a good choice for you as long as you're content with the cutting length.
- Perhaps the best thing about this product is that it can be used with Xyron's Model 900 Creative Station. The Creative Station is an all-in-one device that performs cold lamination and it can also make stickers, magnets, and labels. You can attach this product to the back of the Creative Station, so you can easily trim all the cool projects you produce with that machine.
Disadvantages
- The construction of this cutter isn't the greatest. Since it's so lightweight, you might find you need to replace it if you use it too frequently or misuse it on a regular basis.
- While the 9-inch cutting length makes it possible to use this cutter with the Creative Station, it also means that you won't be able to trim larger items. If you anticipate having to cut documents that are longer than 9 inches, you should purchase a different rotary trimmer, such as one from Swingline or Dahle.
Overall, the Xyron Personal Paper Trimmer is a half-decent device that's good for personal use, but only if you will be trimming items less than 9 inches long. You can definitely use this trimmer as a stand-alone device (it would be great for craft projects), but it really shines when you use it in conjunction with the Creative Station. That said, this item is a must-have for Creative Station owners and crafters who need a simple, inexpensive rotary trimmer. However, people who need a device with a longer cutting length will need to purchase a traditional rolling trimmer instead of this particular product.
