MAKEASY Coil Spiral Binding Machine, Punch 15 Sheet - Manual Hole Punch - Electric Coil Inserter - Adjustable Side Margin - for Letter Size/A4/A5, Comes with 1 Box 5/16'' Binding Coils & Plier

I’m A Homeschool Mom. The Binding Machine Is A Must In Our Homeschool Room. Ease of use, the appearance is as pictured, is a heavy item but movable. I will recommend. Freash out the box with no set up needed. A be printing anything out, just to have a reason to Bind!

Why did I wait so long to buy this?! I am obsessed with my binding machine!!!! I probably should have bought the one that doesn't have the little electric part on top because I have never bothered to use it. I adjusted the margin for my booklets a little, and I am happier with that. I had to adjust the top and bottom margin a bit with the paper guide (this will make more sense if you actually have the machine in front of you). Initially, my papers and covers had a half hole at the bottom. Adjusting this fixed the issue. The only other issue I've had is that I bought some thick, leather-looking plastic covers. The first several books I made with them, I had trouble getting the bottom five or six holes to punch completely--even punching one cover at a time. Since then, I have accidentally positioned my hands on the handle differently, and everything punched fine!!! Like. . . I punched all the rest of the pack of 50 when I was having a good day because I'd had so much trouble in the past. No problems. The trick is to put more weight on the left-hand side of the handle.

This product seems heavy duty and punched holes great in the middle section but the outer sides don’t punch all the way through. I was able to bind one small book but I had to manually punch through the outer holes which isn’t sustainable for all the binders I need to make as a homeschooler. I bought this product with recommendation from a friend who has one and says it works great, so I am not sure if it’s just a defective product, but my Amazon return window just closed three days ago.

machine works perfect!

LOVE IT!!!! I wish I would've bought it sooner. I usually take my things to Office Depot to get bound, now I don't have to. It's quick and easy to use. We homeschool and now I can get my booklets done quicker.

Update: When we posted our review, the seller reached out to us through the Amazon messaging service seeking an opportunity to remedy this issue with us. When we did not respond there, they found another method to contact us that was not intrusive. They did get a hold of us and were extremely diligent in seeking a resolution. Sent us a new machine (we did coordinate through the Amazon messaging service all confidential information) and although we have not been able to test it (I was laid off this week), I'm updating my review to reflect just how impressed I am with this seller's customer service. In my time as a Vine member, I have had multiple sellers reach out to offer a refund on a product that didn't meet realistic usable standards, but I have never had one who after weeks was still seeking to remedy an issue. This just absolutely demonstrates the ideal mindset required for a small business to succeed. If they continue in this way I have no doubt that they will be very successful in the long run. When we've had a chance to test the new binder that was sent to us, I will update this and I anticipate that I will probably adjust it to five stars (based on what the seller has told us, the one they sent us has been tested and should be improved in the ways that we complained about). ********* Previous title: Hole punches are crooked, entire machine tweaks if I do more than 2-3 pages at a time. Got this to bind an enormous amount of educational books that I purchased in PDF but which need to be printed as workbooks. I have been only disappointed with this. When you press down to punch the holes, the entire machine tweaks so only the holes by the handle are where you wanted them. You almost have to sit on the other end to get it to punch. And I'm not using fancy paper here, this is typical inexpensive printer paper, the kind Dunder Mifflin would sell. And with the holes off on one side it's harder to bind them. You end up doing smaller groups of pages and then having to really jimmy them to line up just right so the spiral binding goes through otherwise you spend forever doing it manually and then why even have the machine? I am extremely disappointed with this and am past the return date for it. If the seller wishes to make things right, I will update my review.

Does its job! Works well. Will last for years. For the prices that I was getting quoted for binding…. May as well own one and do it myself.

Would have been nice to have instructions included and the paper guide piece to be taped to the machine or screwed in but instead it was floating all around the busted up box. Thankfully it did not fall out with the instructions. Machine works great and love the electric binder roller but I'm salty about no instructions, had to use my Ph.D and head back to YouTube, hence the 3 stars. Yes, it's a little heavy and but does what I need for the money spent. The box of coils is a plus!!!!
