5.0 out of 5 stars Works great for me!, February 10, 2009

This review is from: Fellowes Pulsar 300 Comb Binding Machine (5216601) (Office Product)

I am a homeschooling mom who downloads a lot of e-books. I have used this to make several books for school and it works great! It is solid, nothing seems flimsy or like it could break. I've made 100 page books with it so far and it works great.

***UPDATE*** 12/2/11

Still using this product and it still works great. No issues whatsoever.

Pros: Comb fingers are made of metal, not plastic
Handle arm is metal with a rubber grip so it's not going to break when you try to punch 15 sheets repeatedly
Storage tray is great, holds 25 3/8" combs with no problem
Has that heavy, "quality" feel, it doesn't feel like a plastic kid's toy

Cons: There are no reference points/lines on the underside of the lid to let you know if your paper is sitting in the puncher level
The rotary edge takes a little playing around with to get your papers punched evenly at the top and bottom (this is a minor issue)

I was debating on whether to buy this machine or the Starlet, also by Fellowes, but in the end decided to buy the Pulsar since it seemed like portability and size were major selling points with the less expensive Starlet. This machine takes up about the same space as my Brother HL-2040 printer, so while it's not huge it's not something you can hide on a shelf somewhere out of the way. In the end, I opted to pay more for what I felt was a higher quality machine and I'm glad I did.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works Great But Requires Space, June 15, 2008

This review is from: Fellowes Pulsar 300 Comb Binding Machine (5216601) (Office Product)

This comb binder punches smoothly through paper, cardstock, clear covers. Maximum paper punch is 15 pages but strengh required, I found it easier to punch 10 pages at a time. Love the versatility, storage drawer with measurement guide, comfortable handle, and the supplies included with starter pack. The vertical document loading is fantastic, it really keeps your paper stack aligned, so much better and easier than horizontal loading. The only drawback is that this machine is the size of a small typewriter and quite heavy, not portable at all or easy to store away. I like the capabilities but wish it were the size of the Starlet model.
