Amazon flagged this item for its high return rate. I took time to read some of the reviews and decided to make the purchase.I am very happy with this binder machine. Out did not have instructions so I had to look up a you tube video. Once I figured out out, it was very easy to use and works perfectly for my needs. I learned that only about 8 pages at a time can be cut, else the machine will jam. I had 70-page books to create, so it was slow going. The features were not explained so I had to learn how to along the paper for good, even hole punches. Made several hole punch errors before i got the hang of it. So practice on blank paper several times before working your project.Just take your time and the machine does a terrific job.I recommend this product for your smaller binder book projects.

High quality! it works well for our study guides and prayer books

This was a good buy. It is very easy to use but can get jammed up really bad if you use like 20 sheets at a time or so. Putting the spiraling through the slots in the paper could be easier as well and is time-consuming. Other than that, it is lightweight, creates good booklets and lasts long!

I’m impressed.Read the instructions. Buy bigger binds than what comes with it.As a homeschooling family with four kids, I print most of their work vs buying the books. I WISH I’d gone ahead and bought this years ago.I’ve successfully bound six books in the last week.There’s still some tweaking I need to do, but it’s very easy to adjust and use. It feels sturdy.I had to punch no more than about 10 pages at a time, more than that and it stuck.I like that its design serves both purposes - punches holes and binds, without the need for an additional machine. I really don’t even need my traditional 3-ring binders anymore because this makes thin, easy to store books.I tested lots of folded pages! Since I couldn’t get the setting right, where there wouldn’t be an extra notch cut at one end, I punched till I found a whole space at the ends, then marked the line I needed the paper to be on with a thin strip of blue painters tape. That way the knob can’t go past it, and I know where to place my papers/plastic cover if the knob moves unexpectedly.The last note I’ll add, for anyone printing seat work, pay attention to how the pages print. It was super helpful printing on the short edge so the binding clamp was always positioned at the top of the page.Overall:If I’d known what I was missing I’d have bought this years ago. Just buy it! This is a nice machine to add to the collection of tools that make homeschooling easier.

It is worth the price. My school has a heavy duty book binder. Everyone needs it at the end of year. I was able to bind books for my kiddos. I only bound 4 cardstock pages at a time.

Great machine. I need it for all the projects I leave my students and be able to organize them in booklets this is the perfect tool!

This is a lightweight binder that has limitations on the number of sheets that can be punched at one time (as most binders do). I used the QR code to watch a video showing how to use it; especially to open the spine and load the pages. I had an already assembled manual that I wanted to add a clear sheet on the beginning and ending, so I bought this binding machine and a package of clear sheets to make them. Removing the spine was easy, as was sliding the clear plastic sheets toward the bottom of the punch to ensure the holes would line up with the manual. The trick was to use the handle of the machine in the reverse (to cutting) and put the existing spline in the correct direction and side, and then to open the spline and slip the sheets to the spline's "fingers". The manual had about 50 pages and I had to align and place 5 pages at a time over the fingers. I probably should have invested in a more heavy-duty device but this one worked (just took a lot of time).
