pOWER STAPLER
This stapler is meant for more than 10 sheets of paper any less and the staples will protrude . so graet for large amounts of paper to be stapled.

Great stapler BUT .....
I would give this unit 5 stars for stapling but it is extremely loud and hollow sounding and coworkers do not like it so I only gave it 3 stars.

Optima 50
For years we had the Optima 70 sad when it broke and disappointed when it's no longer available so we purchased the Optima 60 that jammed within a day and it was loud and on top of that it stapled so hard the staples kept poking through making it dangerous. We return it and purchase the Optima 50 4 times cheaper thinking less powerful because less pages to staple that ...

Product Decline w/ New Model
We loved the Optima 45 in our office space until it quit working. Unfortunately the newer model feels cheap and lower quality. We ordered the first one and it quit working after one use. The replacement sent is working; however it does not suit our needs. When you staple a smaller packet it staples so hard that it is poking out of the paper making it a hazard. There ...

Disappointment
Our Swingline Optima45 was an amazing tool that served us for more than 5 years. But something plastic inside got broken so we needed another electric stapler for our office. I didn't appreciate the design of Optima50. To me it is very ugly and flimsy. But the deal braker was the loud sound this stapler makes. We do a lot of stapling here and won't be able to endure th...

Sounds like a shot gun!
Works well but you have to warn the house when you are about to staple so everyone doesn’t go running for cover and calling 911. Not kidding this thing is loud. I had the Swingline Optima 45 but it died after 10 years or so. Wish I could have bought an exact replacement.

Loud for sure
The Stapler works fine however as stated in other reviews it is LOUD. Do not think people are exaggerating. If you need it in a quiet space this is not for you.

It doesn't last
It started smoking and now won't staple Not recommended. No idea what the warranty is but it is not worth the time to look into.

Super loud!
The stapler works but it is so loud! I feel like I need ear plugs in when using it. I used to have the Bosch electric stapler and I get it is noisy but this thing is extreme. But it does work well.

The Swingline Optima Electric Desktop Stapler seems to work well however it is much too loud for the office surroundings. I may have to return it.

Lasted 2 days
Looks nice and seems like it is well made. It only lasted 2 days and will not open to allow for us to refill the staples. Would not recommend.
