[L290]Lg Washing Machine Review

by Jeff McRitchie, Jef

Although the Tamerica 210PB is a relative newcomer to the market, it has begun to give some of the other machines that are available on the market a run for their money. On the surface, it appears to be built well and have a number of features that are not common to other machines in its price range. This review will take a look at a few of those features and will help you to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of this machine.

Features:

The Tashin 210PB has a number of features that set it apart from other similarly priced comb binding machines on the market. It has an adjustable depth of punch margin control that allows you to choose the distance between the edge of the paper and the holes that the machine produces. If you are using very small sized plastic combs you will need to set the holes so that they are close to the edge of the paper. This will help to ensure that the pages turn freely when you open your document. When using very large sized spines you will need to set the holes so that they are further from the edge of the paper so that the weight of your document doesn't cause the pages of the book to tear out.

It has 21 fully disengageable punching pins. Using these disengageable dies, it is possible to prevent any one of the holes from punching. This allows you to bind half letter sized documents or letter sized documents in landscape orientation. It can also allow you to punch documents that are longer than 11" in length using a two step punching process. If you want to punch longer documents you simply need to punch one end of the document and then flip it over to complete the punching pattern.

The 210 PB also includes high quality hollow ground self sharpening steel punching pins. These pins will allow you to punch approximately fifteen sheets at a time. Under normal conditions, this type of punching pin should last for 10 or 20 years. However, like all comb binding machines, you should be careful when punching clear covers. No more than two clear binding covers should be punched at a time.

The Tamerica 210PB also includes a high quality metal comb opener that is capable of opening combs that are as small as 3/16" and as large as 2" in diameter. The comb opener is operated in conjunction with the punching mechanism of the machine. The fact that the comb opener moves at the same time as the punch means that the machine can be placed against a wall or in a tight space (some machines require you to push the handle back to open the combs). However, this type of design can cause the comb opener to wear out faster than on a machine where the mechanisms are operated separately.

Construction:

Although it is not the most sleek or stylish looking machine on the market, the 210PB is extremely well built. With the exception of the handle grip and the margin guide, the whole machine is made of metal. This means that the 210PB will hold up extremely well under normal conditions. It is great for a school or office environment where a number of different users will use the machine. It also comes with a two year warranty which is twice the warranty that comes with most other comparable machines on the market. That being said, the chances you will need the warranty are pretty slim.

Conclusion:

Although the 210PB isn't the most stylish comb binding machine on the market it is built well and includes all of the features that you will need to bind both large and small documents. Plus, the additional one year warranty should help to give you peace of mind that the machine will last for years even if you use it regularly. It is an excellent choice for small and medium sized companies as well as schools. However, high volume users will most likely find the manual punching mechanism to be tedious. If you need to bind a lot of documents with plastic combs, you will probably want to consider a similar machine with an electric punching mechanism.

The Tamerica Tashin 210EPB is a heavy duty all metal electric plastic comb binding machine. This effective machine makes punching documents is as easy as pressing a button. It's the binding solution that many companies need to bind efficiently with plastic comb technology. This is the electric plastic comb binder you have been waiting for - and it will change the way you approach a plastic binding application. The Tamerica Tashin 210EPB is worth your consideration and should be looked at carefully before making any decision regarding the right binding machine for you.

Features:

There are many features that are perfect for high-volume users. For example, the 210EPB is capable of punching up to 10,000 sheets per hour or approximately 20 sheets per lift - ideal for users who bind higher-volume documents, and need to use this application on a regular basis - every day. In addition, the 210EPB Includes a depth of punch margin adjustment for binding both thin and thick documents and fully disengageable dies with an open-throat design for binding short and long documents. The punch will handle up to 12" documents in a single pass and longer documents in two passes, making it highly efficient. This versatile machine runs the gamut of sizes and thicknesses and can bind documents as thin as just a few sheets with 3/16" combs or as thick as 425 sheets with 2" combs. In addition, the heavy-duty handle that controls the plastic comb opener, can be repositioned allowing for opening combs longer than 12."

Limitations:

As helpful as the 210EPB can be, it does have some limitations, including a fairly long punch cycle, adding to the time it takes from the push of the button until the punch is complete. This time lag is not a problem for all applications, for instance, the moderate volume users for this equipment do not find the time lag an issue. However, for higher-volume users, the slower punch cycle can be problematic.

In addition, this machine does not have a foot pedal activation switch for punching. The foot pedal activation can be quite useful for an electric machine, because it allows you to hold the documents with both hands, making it possible to guide the documents through the system.

Construction:

The 210EPB is made of heavy-duty steel . This type of construction makes the 210EPB a product that is build to last. The 210EPB can hold up well in large-volume applications, but works fine with small to moderate applications. The machine's large chip tray is made of hardened plastic and the whole unit comes with a 1 year warranty. That being said, the warranty may never be necessary, given the solid steel construction of the machine - There is rarely a need to use the warranty offered. This does serve to prove, however, just how well-constructed the 210EPB really is .

Recommendation:

The 210EPB is a useful, well-built machine at a good value. The machine has all of the important features you look for in a high-quality electric comb binding machine. From the machine's solid construction, to the functional features of the 210EPB, this machine is highly-recommended for medium sized offices that do moderate volume binding. Larger organizations, however, may want to opt for a machine with a foot pedal and a faster punching cycle. No matter what the choice, however, the 210EPB should be considered for companies with moderate binding needs.
