So, I finally got a new paper trimmer. I've been putting it off for a while, but the my old one was DONE! I decided to stay budget friendly even though I would've loved the Cutterpillar Pro. I also wanted something that just wasn't huge to carry around. So I went with the Carl RT-200N. I'm so glad that I did. I read a few reviews on Amazon that it wasn't that great, but I really do like it. It cuts smooth ever time and it has the photo sizes pre-marked on the grid which I LOVE!! The major complaint that I read about was that there really isn't a paper holder so you don't get straight cuts. Well no there isn't a magnetic strip or something that holds the paper in place, but my hand on the lime green plastic piece that keeps you from cutting your fingers off did just fine by me. You line the paper up with edge and hold down the lime green plastic and push the rotery blade and that's it. I did get the size that's 12x12. I decided not to get the longer one for space reasons. It's uper light weight with easy to read rulers and that's really about all I need. I picked it up at Staples and I think it was priced wrong. Online this retails for $60-$70 and Amazon (one of my fave online stores) has it for $40, but Staples had it priced at $34. Not too bad if you ask me. I did notice that the replacement parts were not for the this model but the one below it which they didn't have, so I'm thinking they just didn't realize, but I'll take a sale anyday!! Here's a pic of my new favorite scrappy toy!!
