Guillotine Paper Cutter, 12 Inch Heavy Duty Guillotine, 12 Sheet Capacity Stack Paper Trimmer with Safety Blade Lock, 12" Cutting Length and Paper Cutter Slicer for Office Home School

Updated Review: 5/10/22 —- see 2nd one :) 😀1st:I have been needing to buy one of these for a while now and finally broke down and got one. I went back and forth between this one and a few others, but decided on this one.Finally got it and put together, however the cutting bar is bent, so when you pull down to make your cut, your cut is not straight at all. It is crooked. There is no possible way to make it straight while trying to cut. I must have gotten the fluke one as they have great reviews, but this one is not one of them. It does cut paper great, just not straight, so I have to go back to my small one to clean it up which defeats the whole purpose of getting this one for the big orders and projects.Hopefully I can get the bar straight, can get them to replace it or send a new one of they see the review. The handle also does not go all the way on either. It gets stuck and stops half way on so it will not go further or down where it should as shown. (The black silicone part) I just need it to work properly and do what it needs too.Will definitely update if they send a new one and reach out. Will have to send in a request.2nd review: 😀The company reached out directly to me within a day or two of me posting this review. I never asked for a replacement or for a refund to be completed through Amazon. Just completed my review and went on about my day.The company messaged me about the issue directly with the issue and apologized that I had a defective product and that they hoped that it didn’t change my mind or view on ordering from them again. They were very quick, sincere, apologetic and offering solutions to make it right and correct the issue right away. They did not one time try to blame anyone else, try to get out of it or anything, they took full responsibility and that shows a lot for a business.As a business myself, I looked at this message from them and our interactions back and forth in a business and personal perspectives. I truly appreciated that they took accountability, reached out to me on their own when they didn’t have too, I never had to file anything with Amazon, they were super nice and very professional and the offered solutions right away and didn’t bat an eye.That is true customer service and a great business. I respected and appreciated that. It showed a lot about them, the character of their business and that they do stand behind there products so if something does happen, they will indeed make it right, so I do feel I can purchase with confidence knowing should anything happen or be wrong, their customer service is A+.It really stood out to me on that because a lot of businesses are NOT like that anymore nor do they care. This company does and it shows.I will definitely buy again due to the amazing customer service I received on their own account.⭐️So I will be changing my star from a 1 to a 5 because the service was great and you don’t get that anymore in a business, especially if you have an issue with a product.Thank you so much!

Es un poco pequeña pero Funciona perfectamente la recomiendo 👍

A little cumbersome to use.

This works great

The realm of office supplies might seem mundane at first glance, but delve a little deeper, and you'll realize the vitality of each element. Take paper cutters, for instance. We've all had our share of misaligned documents and uneven projects. A high-quality paper cutter can be a game-changer in these scenarios, offering precision, safety, and efficiency. So, when I got my hands on the ZEQUAN A4 Paper Cutter, I was eager to explore its capabilities and how it would measure up in my busy home office setup.I had high hopes for the ZEQUAN A4 Paper Cutter Stack Paper Trimmer Guillotine with its tantalizing features: 12" cutting length, safety blade lock, 12-sheet capacity, and the claim of commercial-grade performance. After spending considerable time with this product, I found it to be a mixed bag. In this extensive, multi-part review, I'll delve into my experience with the paper cutter, dissecting its pros and cons to provide a well-rounded perspective.📏✂️ Cutting Performance: Slicing Through Expectations and RealityLet's start with what matters most—the cutting performance. With a 12-sheet capacity, the ZEQUAN A4 Paper Cutter is no slouch. It promises to make short work of your paper-stacking needs, from craft projects to official documents. In practice, the cutter performs admirably but only up to a point. While it can cut through a stack of 8-10 sheets with ease, pushing it to its advertised 12-sheet limit results in jagged edges and less-than-perfect alignment. The blade is sharp but lacks the consistency needed for commercial-level usage.🛡️🔒 Safety Features: A Double-Edged SwordSafety should never be compromised, especially when dealing with sharp objects like guillotine paper slicers. The ZEQUAN comes with a safety blade lock feature, which is a thoughtful inclusion. While the safety blade lock works well to prevent accidental cuts, it's also somewhat cumbersome to engage and disengage. At times, this could interrupt the workflow, particularly during high-volume cutting tasks. On balance, the safety feature is adequate but needs refinement to integrate seamlessly into the usage experience.🏢🏡 Versatility: From Office Desk to Craft TableThe cutter is pitched as a versatile tool, useful in commercial, home, and educational settings. While the ZEQUAN does well in a home office or for school projects, its limitations become glaringly obvious in a commercial environment. It lacks the robustness and finesse required for large-scale, precise cutting tasks. It's more of a 'jack-of-all-trades, master of none,' suitable for occasional use rather than heavy-duty, daily grinding.🎛️🛠️ Build Quality and Durability: Standing the Test of Time?Crafted with what appears to be high-quality materials, the ZEQUAN gives the initial impression of a durable product. However, after weeks of use, I noticed that the cutting arm started to wobble slightly. While not catastrophic, it does raise concerns about how well the cutter will hold up over an extended period of regular use. It's not fragile by any means, but it also doesn't emanate the aura of a commercial-grade, indestructible piece of equipment.💵🏷️ Value for Money: Worth the Investment?Priced at a point that could be considered reasonable for a 'commercial-grade' paper cutter, the ZEQUAN offers decent bang for your buck. That is, if you're using it for light to moderate cutting tasks. If you plan on utilizing its full sheet capacity frequently or need razor-sharp precision, you might find the value proposition dwindling.In summary, the ZEQUAN A4 Paper Cutter is a serviceable tool for light to moderate paper cutting tasks but falls short of its commercial-grade claims. It scores well in safety and general versatility but leaves room for improvement in cutting performance, build quality, and user experience.Thus, I rate the ZEQUAN A4 Paper Cutter Stack Paper Trimmer Guillotine with a balanced 3-star rating 🌟🌟🌟. It neither dazzles nor disappoints dramatically but rather hovers in the realm of 'just good enough' with potential for improvement.Thank you for reading this exhaustive review. I hope it offers you the nuanced insights you seek, enabling you to make a well-informed purchasing decision. Happy cutting! ✂️📄

Good quality does the job.

I do not normally leave a review. However, I feel like I needed to do this one. I bought this item because I can't cut for the worth of my life. As I opened this package and noticed that there were no instructions, I thought, How could it be hard? I mean it's a cutting board and I have owned one in the past (not the same one, this was a cheaper option.) I proceeded to cut the paper (one sheet - it was a kinda cardstock type of paper). The paper itself was 24 inches long, so I wanted to cut it down to 12. The cutting board I bought is 21 inches; it could not even cut all the way; it stopped halfway and wouldn't cut the rest, and it bent the rest of the paper instead of cutting. I thought maybe I did something wrong, so I tried regular paper, and it still wouldn't cut anything past 7ish inches and bent the rest instead. I proceeded to dig my old one out of the shed and tried to test it. (The reason for the replacement is that the old one blade was very rusted, even though it's still pretty sharp. I have had it for a long time, and due to a flood a year ago, it became badly rusted. It was the 18in one, I tested and cut through that same cardstock paper, but on the opposite side that had not been cut yet. It cut through the whole 18 inches no problem, and then I turned and made it cut at 12, it could do its job even though it's very rusted, and this one could not. Not worth buying, going to return this one and get a different one.

cuts well and worth price
