I recently purchased this machine and was excited about it being electric. It does not punch the holes an even distance from the edge of the page. The end closest to the end of the machine where you can adjust based on the length of the paper always punches closer to the edge of the paper than the other end does. I've looked inside to see if there is something in there obstructing the pages from being pushed in all the way and it doesn't appear that there is but it punches unevenly almost every time. I'm a perfectionist so it's very disappointing. I don't like to turn out documents like that.
