5.0 out of 5 stars No muscle power required - Pulsar E 300 Compact Comb Binder with electric hole punching, March 10, 2011

This review is from: Fellowes Pulsar E 300 Comb Binding Machine, Gray (5216701) (Office Product)

(What's this?)

Fellowes Pulsar E 300 electrically punches up to 15 sheets of paper at a time and will bind documents up to 300 pages. I like the vertical document loading feature; it accurately aligns the punches of every document. Position the edge guide, then put up to 15 pages at a time into the slot, make sure they're all the way inserted & push the button. Very easy, no muscle power required, & you end up with perfectly punched & aligned pages. (I suggest that you punch a test page before you begin your project). If your document contains more than 15 pages (up to a maximum of 300), there's no need to set the punched pages aside, simply place them over the comb (that you previously got ready), punch more pages, place them on the comb, etc. When you're finished, close the comb using the comb lever. Another feature that comes in handy for me is the storage tray which doubles as a comb/document measuring device. It not only measures comb size, but has a slot for your pages. You squeeze them together, measure them in the appropriate slot & you'll know which size comb needs to be used. A clear window allows you to see if the pull-out chip tray needs emptied.

There are a multitude of uses for this comb binder, ranging from school reports, presentations, final exams, to business uses, menus, brochures, and even home use...make that recipe book to pass out to your kids, scrapbooking, calendars & more.

The Fellowes Pulsar E 300 is backed by a limited, two-year warranty. It comes with instructions, a binding starter pack which contains enough supplies for 10 projects: 5 each 1/4" & 5/16" combs, oversize (8 3/4" x 11 1/4") covers - 10 - clear, 5 each white & black.

5.0 out of 5 stars great product, March 14, 2011

This review is from: Fellowes Pulsar E 300 Comb Binding Machine, Gray (5216701) (Office Product)

(What's this?)

I got this product for use in the office, as we often have bids and sales presentations that need to be bound in a sturdy and attractive manner.

The first thing I did when I got this item is to open the box and read the instructions. That didn't take long at all, which I guess is a good thing although I was expecting more. The thing is, it is so simple to use that there really is no need for a lot of instructions. One reviewer posted a video review which, although it was for the larger Quasar model (I have the Pulsar E300), the basic information is the same only that one has higher capacity.

The machine itself is rock-solid. It is heavy, with good build/construction quality. This is no lightweight, flimsy thing, it is meant for long-term use. You simply punch the pages - the motor is sturdy enough to easily handle 15 pages. Someone mentioned doing 20 but that's stretching it. Then you punch the covers, line everything up, put in the comb binder and it's done. It is really quite simple and the machine does an excellent, quality job. It was also engineered in a thoughtful and efficient manner, with a storage tray underneath for the binders that also serves as a measurement tray to determine the size of comb you need, and with another tray for the punchouts from the paper.

A starter set of comb bindings and covers comes with the machine. All in all it is a well-thought out product and is of high quality. It will certainly get the job done and ought to last a long time, too. A few years ago our office purchased a different sort of binding machine, one that fuses the paper together with glue but it was limited as far as how many pages you could use and also not as user-friendly. Plus some pages would inevitably fall out if you used more than just a few. This comb binder is much more versatile and user-friendly.

4.0 out of 5 stars Review for the Fellowes Pulsar Office Comb Binder, March 2, 2011

This review is from: Fellowes Pulsar E 300 Comb Binding Machine, Gray (5216701) (Office Product)

(What's this?)

This is a very solid binding system. I work in a busy office, and we frequently do bindings. Too many times, I've bought binding machines ('systems') only to break handles off, fine the cutting heads dulled beyond usage or flimsy final bindings. The Fellowes Pulsar isn't like that. Its heavy (you probably won't be carrying this around once its found a home in your office), durable (very solid state, no worries about armatures breaking off) and sharp. Its motor is strong enough for the job, though it sounded like it was having trouble punching through the touted 20 pages (it did it, but I believe I will use 12-15 from now on).

When I first opened the box for the binding machine, I expected it to be more complicated than it was. In fact, I thought I might have been missing parts. But after reviewing the very well written instruction documents (a matter of about 4 whole minutes) I had everything and was ready to go. Remember that I have experience in binding machines, which are generally a little complicated. This one is NOT complicated, its easy to use.

A final comment before closing: This item is not cheap, but the final product that it produces doesn't look cheap. If you are looking for the cheapest way to bind materials, this is not it. If you are looking for the best bang for buck on binding materials, this binder is a worthy addition to any office.
