Pros: Portable, cuts straight!
Cons: Won't fit in my scrapping trolley by a smidge!

Love this! As long as you line up the paper in the middle of the cutter using the lines, you get a great straight line and the blade is rotary so it last so much longer... Love the interchangable plates so it is really easy to cut on the angle now...

Pros: Fits in my tote bag, blades change easy
Cons: lift arm locked w/ the slightest pressure

I just bought this so that I would have a more portable paper trimmer. I already own a fiskars rotary so I figured that I'd be able to use this one seemlessly...no such luck. For the first ten minutes I played with it, the only thing I could get the blade to cut was my finger. After that, it would cut the paper, but I never figured it out because I couldn't produce the same results twice. I also didn't like that the slightest pressure on the lift arm would lock it and getting it out was more work then I wanted to mess with. I liked the fact that it has a guide for up to 12" paper and that it fit in my tote...but I'm still taking back to the store this week.

Pros: cuts straighter
Cons: too big, hard to use and wears poorly

I was really excited to buy this thinking that it would be a good replacement for my 12" fisker trimmer, but I don't like it. The cuts start out straight, but it has some big draw backs. After a lot of use, the plastic under the cutting wheel gets worn. You can turn it, but it causes crooked/incomplete cuts when it's too worn out and I don't know where you get a new one. I had a replacement blade, but it won't work. I don't know if it's the blade, or the tool itself.

Pros: Good cut, easy to use
Cons: slightly large

I have 3 trimmers and this is the one I use the most. It's easy to use, gives a good cut and the blade lasts a reasonable time. It also cuts more sheets at a time than my PC Zision. The blades are a bit hard to find, though, and the trimmer is larger than the others so I leave it at home when I go to a crop. Otherwise it's my favorite.
