  • Worked perfectly for the project that I needed.
Size: Helios 60 Style: Machine
I'm going to save tons of money since now I don't have to take my small books to be bound at the store and can do it from home. I tried it out and it works just as advertised and was easy to set up and operate.

  • A great item, but pay attention to what you use with it
Size: Helios 30 Style: Machine
OK, review time...I have only been using this binder off-and-on for a few short weeks now. And I have only used it to bind about 10 or 12 projects so far. But I have learned a few things while using it that I think are important. 1. The machine is only as good as the materials you use in it. 2. That burning smell goes away after a few uses...or maybe your nose just adapts to it. 3. Reading the directions every time you use the device will cut down on mistakes. There are only 5 steps. Pay attention to them. 4. Go back and re-read #1. That is the most important thing I can tell you. This machine is great. It does exactly what it is supposed to do. It is simple to use. Follow the steps each time and it will work. Having said that, pay close attention to what you use in it. Does this impact the review for this machine? Absolutely not. But I think you should know about it when purchasing this equipment. I use the Fellowes binding supplies as well as others that work for this sort of machine. Regardless of supplies, I recommend purchasing a good stapler that will staple through the amount of paper you are binding. I staple AND bind using the machine and that makes all the difference in the world. Otherwise I personally feel that the glue might not hold as well as I would like - and that is NOT a failing of this machine by any means. The binding machine does exactly what it is supposed to do, and does it well. But if you make a cake using subpar ingredients and then bake it, do you blame the oven when it comes out bad? ... show more

  • Great product
Size: Helios 60 Style: Machine
The machine is light, which makes it very portable, and is very easy to use. Have used it to bind 70 copies of a report and it worked flawlessly.

  • Had to buy extra glue strips
Size: Helios 60 Style: Machine
Probably not the fault of the machine, but the Covers did not ever seem to have enough glue inside, so in the end I had to buy extra glue strips in order to get quality work done. I shopped around a lot for this before deciding on this particular brand/size. It's the largest (2 inch) capacity (600 pages) I could find that was not professional grade and less than $200. I'm satisfied with the product, glad I finally got it, and glad to have it. The extra glue strips made it a good investment without complaint. Delivery was quick, and shipping was done in a protected box so risk of damage was minimal. A worthy investment if you have need of it. Just be prepared to purchase the plain glue strips to add to your pre-glued cover sheets if necessary. (Design flaw, not due to the heating available, but rather the necessary second component required for this product). This product is great on its own overall. ... show more

  • Saved me a lot of money!
Size: Helios 60 Style: Machine
I've been searching for something like this for a long time. I have one of those "comb bind" binders and I really hate that thing but had figured there was just nothing else. Those would "bind" up and mess the pages up and I was just sick of them. I finally found this and was a bit skeptical, but it worked great for me. I had even considered spending several thousands of dollars as I need professional looking results for my clients. Well, this did it and for less than 200 bucks. Looks professional and so far my 80 page sample bind has held together for a couple of months and I've used it like a study manual quite a bit. So, it may not "be" professional or quite as good as some of them but its great for my high dollar clients. ... show more

  • Even better than I thought!
Size: Helios 60 Style: Machine
I'm so impressed! I was so pessimistic and even made plans to go to the store to get a stapler to make sure they stayed together. Ran a test run and couldn't believe that I held just the front and back cover pages and shook the whole book, not one page fell out. And I stuffed it too. I think the cover pages you choose has a lot to do with it too. Went ahead and purchased the fellowes specific books rather than the Walmart cheapo stuff. The project came out so great! ... show more

  • Works Quickly and Does Fantastic Job
Size: Helios 60 Style: Machine
Bought thermal binding glue strips for binding my own paperback volumes. My books are only about 40/50 pages, so it only takes 1/4 of one of these strips (cut long-ways with a utility knife) to bind a book. In fact, they are a tiny bit longer than my books are tall, so I can put together the ends I trim off to make a 5th book out of a single strip. That ends up being about $0.20/book for glue. Not bad! I am using 11x17 cover stock parchment (printed on an Epson WF7610) to print the covers, and this Fellowes thermal binder to bind them. Don't make the mistake of trying to print covers for an 8x10 book on a smaller printer, and make sure the printer can print on thick stock. Make sure the glue strips don't leak out the ends of the book spine, or it will mess up your thermal binder. I use the top of a butter knife (you can buy a folding bone if you want to spend money) to score the edges of the spine to get a sharp, straight edge. Finally, use a stack paper cutter to trim the edges of the books so they have that clean-cut, professional look. ... show more

  • so a big purchase like this has took a lot of consideration
Size: Helios 60 Style: Machine
We ordered this expensive machine from the New Zealand site only to find out that it has an USA electric plug. It doesn't fit our NZ sockets and we are now having to spend more money to have the plug replaced. The postage to return the machine is too much for us to do this. We are a charitable kindergarten with little funding and expenses are limited, so a big purchase like this has took a lot of consideration. I am sure that once we have the plug replaced, it will be an invaluable asset, but at the moment, it cannot be used. ... show more
