Swingline Cartridge Electric Stapler Zephyr (S7069008B)

I love this electric stapler! As you can see in the photo, I had an earlier version of the Zephyr, which I bought 27 years ago to use at work. The cartridge design has remained the same, so I didn't need to buy a new stapler just because the cartridge was no longer available. With 5000 staples in a cartridge, it lasts a LONG time compared to other types of staplers. Troubleshooting information and the Customer Service number are located on the stapler itself--very handy. I called when I first tried using my new stapler, because I couldn't install the cartridge. The agent explained that you have to push VERY HARD when you slide the cartridge into the stapler until it snaps. I would not have pushed that hard if the agent weren't on the phone directing me. I like the improvements that Swingline has made over the years, including adjustable trigger bar, thumbwheel, smaller size.

Milton got it wrong. THIS SWINGLINE STAPLER IS HORRIBLE! I've purchased it twice, both times it lasted less than a few months. Also, NO REFUNDS; NO WARRANTY. Go buy the Bostich stapler that does 45 pages instead of 30, costs 1/3rd as much, and won't break after three weeks. Get your act together, swingline. Milton does not approve.

I am disappointed in this product. I bought this back in September 2019, but didn't have a chance to open it up and use until now. It is my belief that this product was returned by someone else and sent to me. The staples that were provided look like they had already been used. I can see why someone would return it because it does not work. I have tried several times, used up some staples and it just will not work. I have watched videos, read how to load the staples and nothing works. I guess every once in a while you get a bad product. I blame myself for not reading the reviews on this product and doing a bit more research. I would never have purchased it.

This stapler has a small footprint and doesn't take up too much space. It really does the job.

Product didn't work properly after only 6 weeks. Had to order another and this one was past the time limit for returns.
