I hadn't seen that trimmer before. Thanks for the info and the video.
My first trimmer was a Cutterpede. It has a rotary blade and cuts great. My pet peeve about it was that when you opened the arm, the measurement that I used most frequently was right where the hinge was so I couldn't see the mark. Thanks to my son, I was able to get a Genesis for home use, and I love that--no complaints at all. However, I'm keeping my eye out for a good, small trimmer to use away from home.
My Cutterpede's arm broke so I bought a Fiskars. Nora loves hers. I didn't like the wire, the blade, the fact that I had to smooth the edges with a bone folder each and every time I cut something. So I bought a Fiskars Rotary. The packaging was taped up. I should have known better than to buy it, but it was the only one so I took a chance that it was not defective merchandise just stuck back on the shelf. No such luck. It cut crookedly. You could even see the crooked line it left in the mat below the blade. I know I should have returned it so I can't complain too loudly. I've heard that Fiskars has excellent customer service. However, I'm bad at returning things and complaining about things so it sits in the craft room, unused. I'm back to taking my broken Cutterpede when I stamp away from home.
Recently, Nora pulled out her old Boston guillotine trimmer that she's had for years thinking I might like it better than her beloved Fiskars. Yeah! It worked great! I have one of those too, but I only use it for heavy materials like cardboard--stuff my Genesis wasn't made to cut.
I've had my eye on the Tonic guillotine, but I recently read something negative about it. I don't remember what.
