Fellowes Galaxy E 500 Electric Comb Binding Machine, 25 Sheets Punching Capacity, 500 Binding Capacity, Gray

I needed to update an older (broken) binder with similar specs for the office. This one ticked all the boxes. The detachable binding platform is great when producing larger quantities of binding with a colleague, and it is simple to use.

The overall quality and value are great. I do like the punch capacity compared to some of the other machines in this class. I also like the option to remove the binding section so that for larger jobs we can double up and finish quicker if needed. However, I do wish there was more flexibility in punching, say for a bit smaller or larger document. Otherwise, I am pleased with the Galaxy e500.

This machine is replacing 2 machines for us. We were using one to punch and one to bind..this machine does it all with great ease. So far so good!

I received the Galaxy-E and was able to set it up and start using it within minutes. From card stock to stacks of 28lb. paper, this machine is a beast. It cut so much time in production compared to the manual version. The only thing I did not like about the machine is that there is no center adjustment. The application that I use the machine for the most is booklets. I had to make an insert that would center the booklets. Otherwise, in every other application it does a tremendous job.

This was supposed to be an identical replacement. It isn't. The alignment guide change has made me jerry rig it so I can punch my 8.5 in covers. before I could just adjust the knob and it would be set for almost 90% of the jobs I process. A4 option gone. You also took away the rightmost hole punches, therefore anything longer than 11.5 can't be punched.

We are a repro house that does comb binding on a fairly frequent basis. Our old unit broke and so we quickly decided to purchase this unit from Fellowes. It was easy enough to use that I didn't need to instructions to get rolling, and soon knocked out 3 bound copies of about 150+ pages in no time. Seems durable and well constructed, I'd give it two thumbs up.

This product is such a life saver! It saves you so much time. The instructions are very easy to use. I love using this product. Our office went from a maual punch to an electric one, and its the vest decision ever.

So happy we've purchased this electric binding machine. We had a manual one, and this is by far so easy and efficient to use. Would definitely recommend to others.

Over a year ago, I purchased a Galaxy™ E 500 Electric Comb Binding Machine. When I recently started having problems with the machine, I called the Fellowes Customer Service Department expecting a lot of excuses instead of solutions. Boy, was I surprised! Jeff Canfield at Fellowes resolved my problem in a timely, friendly, and professional manner. So, if you are concerned with service after the sale, please consider a Fellowes!

Our previous binding machine was from a different manufacturer. It always worked, but when it broke, I shopped around for its replacement. We found the Galaxy E500 and it looked sturdy enough to handle the kind of use our office would give it. It has far exceeded our expectations. On a comparable product, many of the parts were plastic. This machine is attractive, is easier to use than the "other" machine we had, looks nice and has the ability to remove the binding unit for efficiency to bind and punch at the same time. We couldn't be happier!

We recently purchased this product to replace an out of date manual one. This one does allow the ease of not tearing your arm up to punch the holes.
