Ties that bind June 15, 2011
Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
This machine was offered via the Vine program, providing much more product power/service than I need, but it is useful to recognize its worth for potentially bigger projects down the road. My original purpose was to produce booklets for my small home business. My husband was tired of carting a manual comb binder from work so I could get the books made.

The machine was well packaged and the directions were precise and clear. Solid and sturdy, the Galaxy E is suitable for handling large office demands. After reading the specifications, I noted that this unit is overkill for my puny needs, but that doesn't make it less useful.

It took only a minute or two to find the neatly stored power cord, which is in a separate compartment, and advantageous for the portability of the machine. Set-up was a snap, and I had my first booklet done in a matter of minutes. The electric punch will accommodate up to 25 sheets of paper, and the comb-opening lever is straightforward and easy to use.

I am impressed with the numerous features on this binder. The storage tray, which can be used to stock various sized plastic combs, contains a comb measurer that makes it uncomplicated to select the correct size comb for the job. You choose the correct punch profile based on paper size.

Other features include releasable dies, adjustable edge guide, and a waste paper tray (that should be emptied after 3000 sheets punched). The Galaxy E has a convenient mobile binding platform that can be lifted from the base and placed on a stable surface to bind documents together using the normal binding procedure. It also allows different users to work simultaneously. The unit will accommodate up to 2-inch combs that will bind up to 250 pages.

My husband loves this machine and is begging to take it to work (he's a teacher), where there is much more of a demand for the projects and potential that this binder can perform. He does scrapbooks and photo albums, and allows the kids to do the binding for the school (student handbooks, student code of conduct books, etc).

Even with all that the machine does, it seems a bit overpriced, thus 4 stars rather than 5. Listing for $700.00, (before Amazon's discount) it definitely targets the commercial and industrial crowd. However, the machine performs the job smoothly and quickly. This would be a welcome addition for any business that requires binding documents en masse.

Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
This model overcomes problems of lower-end models that lead
to mispunched holes. In this unit, gravity aligns the paper
into the punching slot. The punch operates electrically
and while it does take it's time, the mechanism sounds like
it is geared for punching power but with a small motor. I'd
expect a serious production punch would be pneumatic.

The holes come out in the right places and it is not hard
to achieve consistency. I've used a few manual binding machines
and there's a lot of frustration involved with some of the models
that have a handle you pull to operate the punch - not that
the punching is difficult but that the holes come out too
close to the edge of the paper, which ruins the sheets.

The Galaxy can be leaned up on its back end. It takes up
about as much space as a portable electric typewriter and
weighs about 25 lbs.

While the mechanisms seem to be robust enough for daily use,
the exterior casing is that kind of hard, smooth plastic that
seems like it can't take a punch. While there's no reason this
machine can't last and look good for years, the plastic won't
be nearly so resistant to impact as a steel case would. Call
me picky, but at the price this sells for I'd hope for a tougher
exterior.

Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
Things I love about this model:

The punch is electric and easily handled the specified number/weight of paper
It is easy to adjust the punch for precise alignment
The comb binder is easily lifted out and can be used by another person to assemble the books
It has a handy drawer to store combs in
It can handle a large variety of comb sizes
It has a sturdy, durable quality

Things to be aware of:

It's a pretty large footprint - not necessarily a bad thing.

I think this will give years of use and of the various comb binders I have used, I would rate this one up at the top.
