Really debated whether getting this model or one of the cheaper non-brand comb binders that cost about half as much. I suspect you get what you pay for with this machine. I can't give you a direct comparison, but the Fellowes is quite heavy with a steel frame and a very secure hole punch mechanism. The comb binder works very smoothly. The 19 comb binding holes require a lot of force to punch -- you have to respect the limits of the machine. This one's rated at 15 pages but if you're doing heavy weight stock (I like 28 pound paper for sheet music), aim for 8-10 pages max. If you learn to use it efficiently, it's not a big deal to punch in 2 or 3 batches. For small reports, once you get the hang of it, punch + binding takes under 2 minutes. To get something stronger for larger reports you would need to spend a lot more money, several times the cost of this machine.

The Star Plus manual binding machine was my first purchase of its kind. I went for the cheapest model ($60) because I wasn't sure how easy or practical it would be for everyday use... It just arrived and I am happy to report that I am in love! I remember using one of these in a grade school class once, it seemed huge and hard to use at the time. The Star Plus is very compact and takes up minimal space on my crafting desk. The Packaging: A The shipment arrived in a huge box but packed well enough that the box inside did not move around. Once I took the 2nd brown box out of the brown Amazon box, I was greeted with the ACTUAL white box of the binding machine nestled between two packing egg-cartons that kept it secure. There was not much inside, just the machine and 2 slips of paper (warranty and a very useless starter guide). The Machine: A- The Star Plus was surprisingly heavy for its size; a good thing. It gives off that feeling of "I'll last for years!" every time I touch or lift of pull on anything. The only thing I dislike is the high gloss finish on the white parts of the machine, but I'll get over it. I've also read reviews where this particular model does wear down over time for others... I'm not sure how heavy they used it, but I'll wait and see. From what I can tell from handling mine, I think it should last long enough to pay for itself. Instructions: F The instructions that came in the box are pretty useless. I went on YouTube and watched a 5 minute video to figure out how to use the machine. Ease of Operation: A+ My favorite part of the whole thing is how easy (and fast) it is for me to bind my own books. This is how simple it is to use: 1) Lift the handle and lid up 2) Slip the covers/papers into the slot 3) Pull the handle down and back up again to punch your holes 4) Place the comb behind the teeth and push it towards you so that they take up the space between each teeth. Make sure that the opening is facing up and that solid spine part is facing down 5) Pull the left lever toward you until it opens the comb wide enough for you to slip the paper in 6) Slip the punched papers into the teeth 7) Push the lever away from you to close the comb and finish binding I love that I can put a bound book back between the teeth to open and edit the pages freely! There is also a tray that holds all the punched mess. There are probably other features I haven't tried yet, but for now, this is all I need to get my book done in a couple minutes. The Cost: A+ Buying from Amazon was the best option. It was about 50% off retail. But more importantly, the component materials were also very cheap on Amazon. There were 8 sizes of combs available to my 150 page capacity machine. The first 4 boxes of 100 each were around $5 each. The other 4 boxes of 100s were about $10 each. They retail for about $15. I also ordered the clear plastic covers but may just look for some heavy cardstock to make my own covers in the future. This was a much cheaper alternative to the thermal (Helios) machines I was looking at. Those thermal covers cost so much! Plus, I like the ability to remove/add to my books with the comb system. And the fact that I don't have to plug anything in or worry about heating problems. If my Star Plus ever breaks down or if I ever feel the need to bind more than 150 pages at a time, I won't hesitate to purchase the higher models. Just wish I'd bought one of these things sooner.

This product is well made and is sturdy but maybe not as easy to use as some of the more expensive products brands but it worked well for my needs at the time. I recently upgraded to a commercial product. To properly use this product is may require a little more patience to line everything up and grab the combs but it gets the job done and done well. I am very happy that I purchased this product and recommend this product if you are doing small volume. Overall, very nice product.

I had a cheap Swingline binding machine that was useless, so I stepped up a bit and bought this one for occasional binding jobs. It is sturdy and doesn't move on the tabletop when you punch pages or plastic covers. It was easy to align all the pages (and I'm using 1/2 pages for my project). It took a couple of tries to drop in the binding comb correctly, but that was a quick learn. Only negative is the tray for holding combs is very narrow and only holds the smallest sizes. Overall very pleased so far. Should work well for occasional use.
