Conflict of interest disclosure: Fellowes provided a free Electron 180 Paper Trimmer to me for the purposes of the review.
Fellowes is innovative. I wanted to try out a new paper trimmer after my current one’s blade kept getting dull, and I couldn’t find a replacement. Fellowes listened. They sell their stainless steel blades, that are encased in a cartridge for safety and they work perfect. And they sell replacements on their website, as do office supply dealers. Next was cutting exactly as I wanted, and knowing I’d lined up the paper correctly. This time Fellowes innovated with a new LED SafeCut guide light, that shows in red light exactly where the blade will cut, and it works, exactly as you want it to. And since we all want different types of cuts, they include
4 types of blades:
straight
perforated
wavy
fold
The cutter works on up to 10 sheets of 20 lb. paper, I tried thick paper, worked great. Max is 18″ cutting width. The stainless steel blades are excellent quality, and it shows. Their sell bigger trimmers for other jobs too.
I really liked it, and it stores easily, it’s a great home or small business accessory that you’ll use often.
