Well you get what you pay for, as the old saying goes. I expected a little more but I got very little. I was hoping maybe all the other negative reviews were wrong. They were not. The cutter has a multitude of flaws. These flaws make cutting with a scissor more accurate and easy then using a paper cutter. Now tell me how that is even possible. Let me say one good thing, the blade is sharp. Thats about it for the good. The machine design makes it impossible to get a good straight line. Air can form under the paper as the blade is coming down causing the paper to bubble up. That destroys your straight line. The layout on the paper cutter is so weakly designed that even if you avoid the air under the paper. Your line may still not stay straight. Because though your mind would swear that the paper is perfectly aligned. Apparently it is not. A paper cutter is supposed to take the stress out of making good cuts that you experience when trying to use an inaccurate pair of scissors and human hands. This paper cutter adds more stress. Trying to line it up perfectly and all that. Its a single piece of paper I'm working with, I just want a straight line. It can't do that. A problem I experienced, I can't tell if it is just a random occurance, a product of the item being cheap or if somehow it has a built in lock mechanism. But the blade would lock up on me. If I opened the blade all the way, it locked. Then I couldn't come down with the blade without jostling it out of its locked position. Well that posses more then just an annoyance, I found the best way to get good cuts was to raise the blade all the way. Once it got locked, I could no longer raise the blade all the way. Removing the best chance I had of getting a good straight cut. That brings another problem to light. The instructions. Good lord, they are poor. I mean something so simple shouldn't need much instructions but you do need to connect the handle (it comes seperate in a box) and you need to connect the paper guide (comes in a plastic bag). Well the instructions don't tell you how, they don't show you how, they don't explain anything properly. I was able to figure it out. But the instructions will not provide help in making this a better machine. They are as worthless as the machine is. Since this says it can cut two papers at one time, I decided to try it. You know just for a laugh since I couldn't cut one paper accurately, imagine what would happen with two. Exactly what I expected. The first paper cut was average, a little off as expected. The second one below was even less accurate and off the line. Mind you, I was trying, very hard to keep the paper lined up well and to cut it exactly the right way. No matter how hard I tried, the line was either crooked, even curved thanks to the air getting under and causing a bubble effect. A mess. The cutter as far as build quality is very cheap, that is apparently just from the box. The box looks like it was something thrown together at the last second, busting at the seems ready to fall apart. The machine is just a lump of plastic, that seems like it could break at any second, heck maybe that handle broke on me, if so, it did so on the second paper I worked on. Took one piece of paper to break it. That's amazing. This cutter is being returned, I got nothing out of this machine. I highly recommend people looking for accuracy and control. To look elsewhere. This is not your answer. This is a headache.
every use, even after cleaning. The only pros is that it is sharp and lightweight. Would not recommend.
**added since using for a couple months**
DO not waste your time with this trimmer. It is by far the most frustrating trimmer I have used. EVER! Even with a little bit of personal adjustments ( holding paper, etc.) It just will not cut straight. There is a gap at the top that makes the paper bend and lift, so it gets air under the paper with the arms downward motion. Grrrrr.... waste of time and money constantly re-trimming! DO NOT BUY***
So, when I saw that my daughter had a generic paper cutter on her Amazon wishlist, I upgraded it to this one, for her. I hope that she gets as many years out of hers.
