Martin Yale CL6 Premier 6-Station Paper Collator - 100 Sheet Capacity per Bin for Letter & Legal Size Documents - Gray Office Organizer - Perfect for Mailroom, Office Filing & Document Sorting (Pack of 1)

Alas, this the only desktop collator available. Even so, it's not worth the price. Flimsy, under-engineered gray plastic, with a badly fitted plastic slider. The arms that push paper out are very difficult to reach, but you need to dicker with them often (because their rubber pads fall off, and because their plastic bearings get stuck). Martin-Yale should be embarrassed to sell such shoddy goods.Treating it with the greatest of care, I made a run of 100 sets of collated school pamphlets, consisting of five 8 1/2 x 11 sheets of paper. Probably a bit easier than walking around a table picking papers from piles. A few hints: make sure that the stacks of paper are completely even on all their sides, don't have any curl, and are inserted exactly squarely. When inserting paper, look inside each slot, to make sure you get the stack underneath the little rubber pad (it's easy to get this wrong).When collating the paper, push and pull the handle just the right distance (don't go too far back, or the pusher pads get lifted up and they sometimes get stuck in the up position, resulting in mis-feeds). Don't go too quickly, or multiple sheets will pop out. *sigh*One of the rubber pusher pads fell off after the tenth sheet of paper. Took half an hour to fix (had to find double-sided sticky tape, and a long pliers to reach inside).If this were priced around $25 or so, I'd say go ahead with it. But at $70 to $80, it's way expensive for such a poorly made device. By the way, this is available under several labels, including Premier and Martin-Yale. They're all the same.Eventually the rubber pads fall off and are difficult to reattach as there is no way to disassemble the unit to get access to them. Often one or more arms will not output the sheet. You have to visually confirm that all sheets were processed after each cycle. One arm fell off also. Not worth it for such a short term service life. I'm back to sorting manually unit I find a better alternative.Definitely saves time collating for the money it does a fair job. Not always consistent results. I may just not have the hang of it yet.We use this for thin pieces of paper that used for playing Bingo and it will grab multiple pieces if we don't take it all the way back to the reset position every time and go very slowly. Still better than manually collating, but don't have the trust to rely on it without constant review of the collation to ensure it only has one piece of each sheet.goodWe use 3 colors of paper and this sorter is great. Works perfectly and cuts down on the amount of time we spend putting these together.Broken before it arrived. I set it up to use with only 5 paper arms just to see how it worked and then another paper arm broke.Very cheap and flimsy feeling. Not worth the money at all.I bought this for my wife who teaches first grade. She let some other teacher try it and it was so popular the school purchased 4 more.
