Reviewing The Fellowes Quasar 500 Manual Plastic Comb Binding Machine

If you see a machine bearing the Fellowes name

, you can be confident that the machine is a high-quality product. This is especially true of Fellowes' Quasar 500 plastic comb binding machine. This is a unit that's stylish but also hard-working, and is also pretty affordable. (It's in the $200.00 price range.) If you're in the market for a plastic comb binding machine, please continue reading this article to discover if the Fellowes Quasar 500 is the machine for you and your office.

The Fellowes Quasar 500 plastic comb binding machines combines looks and performance, and is a good choice for small and medium-sized offices that need a machine that can produce thick documents. The machine can punch up to 20 sheets of paper at once and it can bind documents that are as long as 500 pages, which is a pretty impressive amount.

This machine has a vertical throat that makes it easy to accurately punch your documents and there's a heavy-duty comb opener that has high-quality metal hooks. You can use both round and oval combs with this machine, and there's a comb size selector so you'll always be able to select the right size comb for your booklet. The Quasar 500 even has a built-it storage tray to keep your combs neat and tidy. And you can be sure that this binding machine will look great in your office because it boasts a contemporary design. The machine even folds up for easy storage and there's a handle that's perfect for both righties and lefties. This machine comes with a two-year warranty, plus a comb binding starter pack to help you get binding right away.

Naturally, the Quasar 500 has a couple of minor drawbacks. First, although the machine can be used with both thick and thin binding combs, it's not really able to handle combs that are longer than 11 inches because the machine doesn't have disengageable dies or an open throat. Thus, letter-sized documents (8.5" x 11") are really the only size documents you can produce. This will obviously be a problem for some people, so if you need to bind items that aren't letter-sized, you'll need a different machine. However, it can be used to punch oversize (11.25" long) covers.

Some people might find that the comb storage tray is a bit on the small side and honestly, this machine would be a little bit better if Fellowes had scrapped the storage tray and used the room to create a larger chip tray instead. And although the machine is well-constructed (it is a Fellowes machine, after all), it's primarily made of plastic so it's not a good choice if the machine is going to be in an environment where it will be used heavily and abused. (Such as a school.) A better fit for an environment such as that would be the Tamerica 210PB, which is made of metal.

Overall, the Fellowes Quasar 500 is a great choice for small and medium-sized offices that want a great binding machine that will complement their office and offer an unprecedented punching and binding capacity. It's also great that it has an ergonomic handle, which will help a lot of people save wear and tear on their joints.
