I got this stapler four months ago and have barely used it. Each time I have, it has jammed so badly that I have to unplug it and take it apart. Now it is throwing 3 or 4 staples at a time and jamming with the papers inside it. I am now ordering a heavier duty stapler, and I advise you to do the same if you need an electric version. A waste of money.

I bought 5 of these in 2003 - 2004, they are still the favorites in the office, so much so they've slowly dissapeared and I'm down to 2. Unless the quality has gone down since my initial purchase, they shouldn't jam - ever. I'm buying a few additional ones and will update this review if the performance doesn't support my past experience.

I'm using the stapler evry day at work and it works just fine. This stapler is a replacement for the old Swingline stapler, which unfortunately died after about 3 years. Hopefully, this one will last as long, if not longer.

This is the worst piece of equipment I have ever bought. It has never successfully stapled anything. It jams and will not release. All I can say is "Grrr."

Like "Techie Lawyer" I too purchased several of these a few years ago--they were wonderful!! Very reliable, long battery life, seldom jammed, etc. My only complaint would have been the loosening of the depth guide such that I had to tape it in place to keep it from sliding back. But I just purchased a new one last week, and the thing is CRAP!!! It jammed on the very first use--it will not open, no way to pry it open to get the jam cleared. It is totally useless. Obviously, there has been a dramatic decrease in quality and workmanship. I could not recommend purchase of this item to anyone--unless you can find an older model, perhaps lighlty used, on eBay or similar.

I had a different Swingline before that was wonderful...this one is either posessed or just plain awful. I keep coming into my office and finding staples that it has spit out all over my desk. It even does it when I am working at my desk????

If you do a lot of stapling you'll love this stapler. I have not had to charge it again after the first charge don't know how long it lasts but I'm impressed.

I've owned several electric staplers and this, by far, has been the worst. To say this has a 20-sheet capacity is a real stretch, as anything over 10 sheets was a challenge to staple with this. I was constantly clearing jams out of this thing, and when it did staple, the staples often wouldn't go all the way through and I'd be forced to bend the staple closed manually. I also had issues with the adjustable paper guide not staying in place and my sheets were often stapled much further down than I wanted.

I just spent 30 minutes trying to staple seven sheets of paper and constantly clearing out jams, it is no longer working at all. It's now found a new home in my trash can while I search for another, much more reliable model. Swingline is usually reliable, but they really dropped the ball with this one.

Great item works well I have had no problems with it. Only problem is that it is a little noisy....
