It's easy to set up and doesn't take much space on a worktable. Directions for using could be more detailed. Settings must be ABSOLUTELY PRECISE, or paper folds are not true. Takes some tweaking (nuisance and time consuming!) before the job is ready to go through. Make certain you run some through as tests before putting your final documents in.

I was scared off by all of the extremely negative product reviews and held off purchasing an autofolder for years. However, I finally purchased, and am glad I did (and wish I purchased sooner).
A lot of the reviews I've seen complain about constant paper jams, misfeeds, screwed up folds, etc. I'm not going to say I haven't had those, but of the 250 sheets I've done in the last couple of weeks, only two have been a problem, and both were my own fault because I adjusted the size of the input tray too small.
The only three complaints I have are: 1) You have to play around and test several times to make sure the folds are exactly where you want them -- the lines stamped into the metal aren't completely accurate, 2) the paper 'catcher' works, but it's best supervised so pages don't fall off or get turned the wrong way, and 3) the product 'manual' leaves a lot to be desired and you have to do some guesswork.
In short, if you need an autofolder, go ahead and purchase the P7400, it's not without problems but well worth the time savings.

Purchased to produce small (200 pieces +/-) mass mailings for nonprofit organization. Quite reliable and precise. Set fold to have address block hit window in window envelope, and it does that job very well. Handles multi-page folds pretty well with little loss or damage.
My complaint is with multi-page folding. Those must be hand fed, one bundle at a time. The folder's shut down time is VERY quick. If you are not fast with the feed, the folder will stop before you get the next bundle into the input side. Then you have to push the start button again. This is more inconvenient than it sounds, because feeding multi-sheet bundles into the folder is a job for two hands. Manually feeding the paper requires care to ensure that it's straight. Otherwise the documents will get twisted and ruined.
If there is an adjustment for the shut-down time, I am not aware of it.
Back to positives...single-sheet jobs are incredibly quick and using the automatic feeder makes the folder VERY reliable.
Last tip: On auto-feed, the catch arms an mix up or interleave folded documents. Be prepared to remove folded documents quickly and on the fly so you can keep them in order (if that's important) and to avoid their natural tendency to interleave and need to be separated.
