5.0 out of 5 stars Video Review of the Fellowes Quasar E 500, December 22, 2010

(What's this?)

Hopefully this video review will help you decide whether or not to purchase this binding machine. I found it very solid and easy to use. I am in no way a professional on this machine so if a mistake was made or if I called something by the incorrect name it's not the machines fault but mine.

I like the binding machine alot. It's heavy and very durable. It's been dropped some but it still keeps on binding. It's simple to use and it comes in very handy for making music books for my middle school students.

This review is from: Fellowes Quasar E 500 Comb Binding Machine (52169) (Office Product)

I was very happy with this comb binder. I made a little over 100 books of 70+ sheets plus cover stock, and the only problems I encountered were due to operator error (aka, me). Considering that's about 400 punches right out of the box, I was impressed.

I like the vertical loading, as the back rest showed me if the paper was loaded correctly. Although the machine is rated to punch up to 20 sheets, I could tell that it was straining the motor. When I punched about 17 sheets, it worked much better.

Overall, a great machine for a great price.
