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!

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.

realicé mi primer encuadernado y todo bien, aunque al revisarlo, veo que hay unas hojas como que no pegaron bien, no se si se deba a mi experiencia o la calidad de la pasta, pero lo comprobaré en los empastados posteriores.
hay un producto que pedà en amazon, que me llegó mal envuelto, sucio y con piezas que no embonaban en su instalación, hice el reclamo y me consideraron mi opinión violenta, no entiendo entonces si en amazon no se pueden hacer reclamos.

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.

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.

Dear Amazon
We have contacted Fellowes directly about our faulty product which is dead out of box and not working. They said that you hold the warranty. Although it is beyond the 30 days return, they said that you’d accept the faulty product and replace it with a new one because they couldn’t troubleshoot it with us. Please can you respond as soon as possible as this is needed for a key event!
Thank you!

Este es mi segundo producto fellowes, el primero es una engargoladora muy bonita y muy útil por cierto. Esta encuadernadora la compré por varias razones; precio, disponibilidad de amazon mx, prime, y por su apariencia también pues otras están muy sencillas o feas y otras de plano parecen hechas en casa con herramientas rudimentarias.
Es un producto que en fotografÃa se ve más pequeño pero cuando la recibà y desempaqué me di cuenta que es muy ancha y a mi en lo personal me hubiera gustado que fuera un poco más compacta aunque cambiara un poco el diseño, es muy ligera y parece que no tiene partes de metal por el peso, cuando no se está utilizando se cierra y no ocupa espacio verticalmente y es bonita
En cuanto a la operación pues es muy sencilla, en la parte inferior izquierda tiene unas guÃas en donde se indican los ajustes para encuadernar cualquier proyecto de hasta 300 hojas en el caso de la helios 30 y 600 en la helios 60, emite un sonido cuando se selecciona el nivel y tiempo, y también cuando termina el ciclo de calentamiento para sacar el documento y dejarlo en la parte trasera para enfriar por 5 minutos.
Las portadas térmicas de la misma marca son un poco caras por el momento, pero espero que pronto tengan disponibles otras marcas o incluso las tiras de pegamento para poder usar cualquier portada como estás disponibles en amazon usa.
El documento terminado tiene una apariencia muy profesional, limpia y elegante, no se compara para nada con los otros métodos de encuadernado o engargolado, ya sea el espiral metálico o los de plástico, la recomiendo mucho para las personas exigentes en cuanto a la calidad y presentación de sus proyectos.
Si en el transcurso de los meses surge nueva información la publicaré como actualizaciones.

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 11×17 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 8×10 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.

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.

Excellent quality and provides professional results.

Belle qualité de produit. Relie les documents de façon professionnelle. Pas beaucoup de modèles de reliures. Je recommande.

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.

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?
