Great Product!
I've been using these binding machines for years and I always go back to Star. I love the ease of use, especially for the price. I do wish that there was a way to lock the lid open, just to mitigate times when I'm adjusting the machine and it flips closed, but that would be my only offer of improvement!

Not effective
It would not cut through the laminated pages correctly. Some holes were not even punched through all the way

Working In A School
I work with special needs and we have to laminate all of our manipulatives and books that we make for the class. I just finished making all of the morning work binders for the class and usually it takes me a month or so to do this with going between the laminator the punch and the binding all separate. With this machine it took me only a day to get all the pages punched...

Need QR Code in the Instructions
I would suggest you add a QR code that leads to a video on how to use the machine. The pictures are okay but a video would really help to understand how to use it right away.

Easy to use Comb Binder
First time user of this device. Found instructions easy to use and tested it out with several sheets of paper. 100% success. Folds up nice and easy to store on a shelf.

Easy to Use and Will Save Me Money
The binder is user friendly. I learned how to use it by watching the tech support videos. This machine will save me money by being able to create my music composition booklets at home instead of going to Fed Ex Office.

Great Product
It is a great product. Only giving a four because I wish it would take more papers! I read the reviews before purchasing because I was used to using an electric one and was skeptical about having to pull the handle to make the holes. It was very easy to do. I didn't even have to look at the instructions.

Good quality
I make about 75 20-page comb-bound packets each week. Takes me about 1 hour to put together 25 packets (clear-plastic front cover and heavier weight back cover). So far the machine has worked well and seems to be well-made (durable presents a consistent product).

Did what it was supposed to. Couldn’t always line up the paper guide perfectly. Said up to 15 pages at a time but it worked much better with less . Otherwise it was easy to use.
