Binding Machine Galaxy E Electric Comb Binding (5218301)

Have been using this for a few months now and it was a good choice for our business. Reliable, sturdy and easy to use. Handles respectable quantities of paper. Previously had a similar machine that after many good years of service, had some of its plastic parts fail. Therefore, we have some experience from which to base our strong review on. I don't recall how much it cost, but I know we are pleased with this comb binder!

As an educator, I've been binding instructional and student materials for years. This high-capacity binder is easy to use and saves me so much time, especially since the punchers have never been stuck in the machine when punching thick transparent covers. I have one at work and bought one for home. Its a little pricey compared to non-electric binders, but definitely worth the cost!

A little pricey, but very sturdy and well made for its purpose. It's a real time saver compared to the manual machines and really gets the job done quickly and you can feed quite a few sheets with each batch that you punch. I am very happy with the purchase.

It's very heavy, manual controls which are not easy to move, I don't know how well it punches since it will not power on at all. I will be returning it and will not purchase the same product again. I can not recommend this product for obvious reasons. PROS; It stands up for easy storage, however, you would have to remove the power source before you can store it upright. There is a storage drawer in the bottom which you can store combs in, but it would likely be easier just to keep them in the box. The fact that the comb seperator can be removed might be useful, but only if there are 2 people doing the job, which is not very likely. Comb lever is manual but very easy and smooth movement CONS; Very Heavy, no page guides, manual "wheel type" controls which are hard to move, Most of the controls are behind the top, when it's open, which it has to be when using it, they are not visible and not easy to reach. You would need to remove your pages, close the lid and make whatever change you needed to make... Bad design. The instruction manual leaves a lot to be desired... You're better off just trying to figure it out on your own. I.E. the solution for the power not coming on was to put the power switch in the "on" position... or plug the power cord into an electrical outlet... Like I couldn't already figure that out...

This machine is so quiet. It punches the paper quickly and makes assembling reports & proposals very quick & easy. I especially like the option to remove the assembly unit so more than one person is able to punch & assemble documents.

I bought this for my accounting office. We bind a little over 1,600 returns each year. The machine is still running like new.

I love this binding machine. No more wrist/arm/shoulder strain to punch holes. Moving pages to the binder as soon as they are hole-punched is so much easier as they are punched standing up and they don't obstruct your view of the binder comb now. The storage tray is small but nice to store a few colored covers in it. It is not roomy enough to store the oversized plastic covers in however. The measuring tool is a nice touch to help you determine which size binder comb you will need for the project. My major complaint is the lack of clear instructions. You pretty much have to figure out everything for yourself unless you are one of those people who does Pictionary really well. The pictures and labeling don't really tell you what you need to know and the instructions were totally useless.

This machine is very easy to use. It has been used to make cookbooks. As soon as one section is punched it can be placed in the comb and when all sections have been placed in the comb the comb is closed and the book is finished!

Works like it should.

It was not working

We produce 1000's of student manuals per year. This is the machine that works for us the best to bind them.

Fantastic machine!

The spiral combs do not fit well in the teeth. Otherwise good machine.
