Looking into buying a new paper trimmer and want to get the best quality of one! Any suggestions?

I just bought a big paper cutter but thinking I need a trimmer too!

What kind of trimmer are you looking for? something to take to crops? rotary? the best cut?

My top three are my genisis paper cutter (by bonnie's best-on facebook) but it is pricey!!!! But hands down the best cut in the business.

My second favorite is my cutterpillar. Very similar to genisis. Slightly more portable.

My Stampin' Up trimmer is great for crops, light weight and portable!!

I don't take my stuff to many places! I just want something that is all around good quality and that is rotary and straight cut!

I think Genisis is on the high end, it would truely be the ONLY cutter you would ever need to buy. Or try the cutterpillar. I like both of them.

I give all my votes to Fiskars trimmers. I have 4 and wouldn't have any other brand.

I like my cutterpillar rotary cutter but my all favorite "go to" paper cutter is the Xacto laser trimmer.. I love that laser light.. lets me trim precisely. I've had mine about three years now and still sharp.

ANother vote for Fiskers rotary. I have 2 of them, one on my scrap desk and one that stays in my crop wagon ready to go to crops.

They are wonderful and I've never had a even "off-cut" - it makes perfect cuts but you do have to push it all the way to the edge.

I have used the Creative Memories paper trimmer since I started scrapping in 1999 and have loved it. I noticed that they have a new version of the trimmer now with blades you can change-straight, curved, etc. I just ordered it. Hope I love it as much as my old trimmer! Has anyone tried it yet? Good luck choosing a trimmer!

I use my new Cutterpillar pro exclusively now. I wasn't necessarily looking for one, but got an awesome deal on a sale. It's super nice, but pricey..

Before that I had no trouble with the Fiskars with the wire cutting guide.
