this trimmer is great for us everyday people. i am not a tool snob. i love whatever is fast, efficient, and mobile. i scrap at home and at workshops. i usually have clutter when i am in a creative mood. this trimmer holds up WELL! i chuck it around through my mess and crop like a mad woman! i have used this and the smaller one for years but have recently gone to just this one because the 8.5 inch one sucked. it never cut straight. this one cuts straight because the arm/tracks are much more sturdy. i thought there might be something better out there so i went on a mission for 12 inch trimmers. i am a big creative memories customer so used theirs at a workshop and did not like it at all. i was disappointed that i did not like it. must have flipped open wrong, or didn't hold paper well. i just know it cut paper crooked. i also recently purchased two other new trimmers. the green and pink one from provo craft is ok but the arm is in my way because it only lifts up and the arm feels cheaper and wobbles. the other one is the new orange 12 inch trimmer from fiskars and i returned it the same day. the main reason is because the arm is made to swing on the other side, it opens up on the small side of the trimmer. IT SUCKS! there is no room to work with the paper or scraps with the arm open over the small side. i loved everything alse about the orange one, but that arm was a big deal. none of the other fiskars (euro) open this way. so now i am back to using the classic gray one and am perfectly content. i will just stock up on replacement blades for the future. and another thing, i think the blades last for a LONG time. i think in the last 8 years i have replaced mine 2 or 3 times.

My experience with this has been overall very good. I've got one that's going on four years old, and use it for more of my scrap booking projects than I use my big rotary cutter for...it's much more portable for crops, and easier to just grab it to use for cropping a photo, etc., than the big one!
Cutting UP rather than pulling it toward you helps if you're having trouble with wobbly cuts, although I rarely have a problem. Keeping it pulled to the inside also helps. And, most importantly, make sure you replace the blade when the cuts start to be ragged and less clean. The blades aren't made to last forever, but they are very cheap! (Usually less than $5 for two).
Overall, this is an extremely portable, super cheap, and very easy to use cutter, fairly safe for children (can't cause any deep cuts) and if you use if with care (and practice), and change the blade regularly, it makes clean and straight cuts.
I rate it so high, mainly because I think you're getting a pretty good quality for the price.
If you want the best, and don't want to have to be careful, get the cutterpede. It is a superior product. It's the next thing that'll go into my scrapping bag!

I've had one of these trimmers for about 4 years. I'm still using the first blade, so if it ever gets dull I still have the replacement blade that came with the package. Only problem I can think of is storing this thing -- I cut the plastic blister pack in a way that I can put the paper trimmer back in the original package for storage. It's ugly, but it works, and it keeps the instructions and the extra blade together with the trimmer, and keeps the dust away. It's safe and easy to use; I suppose you could cut yourself if you really tried, so don't try.
When I needed several small photos of students in a class, I used Adobe Photoshop Elements to merge them all into two 8x10 sheets. Then I had those 8x10's printed for a couple of dollars, and cut them all apart to wallet-size photos, using my Fiskars trimmer.

It works as expected. Cut lines seem straight, no complaints. The flip out arm and spare blade are nice touches.
