  • 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 value
Size: Helios 30 Style: Machine
For the price, this is excellent. Works better than expected and feels well-made. Only minor complaint is that it could come in more color options. Just being honest.

  • Does not seal properly.
Size: Helios 30 Style: Machine
This was a waste buy. 50% of the pages did not seal and within a few days of use, the next 50% came apart.

  • Works like it should
Size: Helios 30 Style: Machine
Needed an option to bind my presentations without buying expensive equipment or going to Kinko's, this works well. I like the spiral bound in that you can lay the presentation out flat, where this is bound like a book so you can't flip each page over, but for the money and how simple it is, it works for me. ... show more

  • Pretty Good Machine for HOME Use.
Size: Helios 30 Style: Machine
As a Professional Organizer one of my business practices is to create an individual "maintenance guide" for my clients after we complete the organizing job. These guides usually range from 5 to 15 pages maximum. I usually have just stapled them together or put them in a report type binder cover (the kind with the slide on bar) but when I saw the opportunity to review the Helios 30 I thought it would be a perfect more professional looking option for my guides. I have had great success over the years with Fellowes brand paper shredders so I was certain I would like this product. First of all, set up is quite easy (ya gotta love those picture only Quick Start Guides). I was quite put off at first at the amount of Caution statements in the manual. I mean, I know this is a heated element machine but really, is it that dangerous? After initial set up my machine took a bit longer than 4 minutes to heat up. I didn't know if that was because it was the first time (I get to that later). I decided to just go for it and put the entire 15 pages in the binder that came with the machine (please note that binders don't generally come with the machine, Amazon Vine provided the 1/16th inch 1.5 mm binders that can accommodate UP to 15 pages for testing purposes). After the binding cycle was complete I wanted to see how hot it actually was before cooling. It is hot. Now I understand all the caution statements. After the document was completely cooled I checked for overall boundness. All of the 15 pages were bound where they wouldn't fall out but I noticed the bottom bound edge was a bit uneven. I figured that was due to me not putting the pages in completely straight my first time. I tried another set of pages and used only 7 that time. The machine took less than 4 minutes to heat up this time but of course it had only been off for about 20 minutes by then so I still don't really know a consistent heat up time from cold. As I use it more I will edit my review and let you know. The 7 pages bound beautifully and it looked really professional. I will definitely be using this machine for my future maintenance guides. I don't know how it would do for more than 15 pages at a time as my use for it would not exceed that. It makes me wonder though about the fellow Vine Program reviewers here that stated that you used more than 15 pages and it didn't work...did you get a different package of test binders than I did or did you purchase different sizes on your own? I think it is important that people coming here to read accurate reviews know about actual product flaws and not "operator error" flaws. In short, I would recommend this for home use and small business use. If a small business is using it I would definitely say take an hour and hold a training session. The product has a 2 year warranty and i think that is fair as it is most like if it breaks down it will be within that two years. I would have given it 5 stars but some of the plastic pieces seem flimsy. Also I wish that power source outlets for machines like these were on the side instead of the back of the unit. ... show more
