This folding machine made my life so much easier! It's a blessing to me. I had no idea that I could get something so affordable that would save me so much time.

compact size and lighter weight than previous folding machine.

The media could not be loaded. Initially the unit worked fine, but it started acting up soon after. The stacker is as worthless as it looks. Papers will flip over to the wrong side. Papers will fall sideways and will land on the floor. It's basically impossible to get the papers out in the same order as they enter. The papers will stall out on exiting the machine and the next paper will cross over the previous. Sometimes a paper will end up inside of another one. Some papers will end up on the floor and you won't know where in the stack they belong. It's a mess.I tried contacting the company to get a different machine, but they refused. This machine doesn't work. They know it, but they sell it anyway.

It’s just a little complicated to set up the fold but when you get it, it works good. I’ve had it misfire and needed to reprint a few pages but for the most part it does a good job. The discharge gets a little messy so I guide/collect them as the come out. It’s definitely faster than folding by hand!!

Easy to set up and operate. I’m satisfied with it since it’s the cheapest of options that can do 50 sheets per feeding. Only slight drawbacks are the paper tray doesn’t stack very neatly when the come out folded, and it’s a bit noisy.

It folds well but the catch rack is terrible, you might as well not use it and pick them up from the floor afterwards.

Read the manuals. Align the paper-width guides carefully, make sure they are parallel. Take a piece of paper and mark the top of one side of the page. Put it through and see where the folds end up with a ruler and think about how you will need to the load the paper (head up/down, face up/down). Make adjustments, then run another paper. Repeat again, and again, until you are satisfied. You will sacrifice several pages of paper until it is right. The machine is unforgiving, if the paper snags or jams, or the rails and stops are out of alignment, it will mangle the paper. You need to adjust it carefully. This is a commercial product that requires a level of precision to operate properly. Different types of paper will behave differently.

I purchased this for my wife's in-home business. Several times each year she sends out a few thousand mailings. This machine paid for itself very quickly. It's easy to set up and easy to use.
