Outstanding reviews of a variety of paper trimmers!! Very thorough and honest presentation. I too feel your pain with many of the trimmers you've showcased. Cutting a straight line is my biggest problem with many trimmers - including my favorite guillotine trimmers. What I have learned with the guillotine design is that you need to press "in" ever so slightly when lowering the cutting blade. If you're right handed, hold the paper down firmly with your left hand close to the cutting edge and with your right hand, pull down and "in" to get a clean, straight cut. Glad you showcased the Cricut Trimmer - - one of my friends gave me her Cricut Trimmer before she moved out of the country. Working on a project that required me to cut at various positions on a 6 x 6 piece of paper, I found the Cricut trimmer to be a crafter's dream come true!!! I could position the paper at several different angles and secure a perfect cut every single time. And - no jagged edges - LOVE IT!!! Now I have both the Memory Keepers guillotine and the Cricut trimmers on my desk at all times. Thanks so much for your great video! Happy Crafting!!

I've used a Fiskars for years and use the Titanium blades but only buy them when on special at Spotlight or their 30% off store wide sales. However over the years of cutting many types of papers I sometimes find that cutting papers in different directions ie up or across will give me the little fuzzy pieces....I'm always wary of buying the not so popular trimmers because I want to know that I'm going to be able to buy replacement blades🌹

Paper trimmer selection is hard! Nice to hear someone else having the same issues.

Ugh I feel your pain going through all these trimmers. I have gone through the same thing. Happy you found the cricut trimmer and liking that so far. I have that one also and really like it for travel. I like how slim it is and I find the refills to be pretty cheap too, when you can get them on sale. I went through the same thing could not stand the fuzzies. Also, I don’t like the lip you can get sometimes on your paper because sometimes I like to reverse it and then I felt like I had to bend it out if I wanted to use the opposite side of the paper I was cutting. Found out you’ll get that with these type of trimmers (v blade style) , but with a rotary trimmer you would not. Because it’s a circular cut on top of a flat base it’s cutting on top of. My favorite trimmer now that I’ve loved for a couple years now is the Creative Memories rotary trimmer. If you ever have a chance to try that one at a crop or a friend, having it definitely give it a try! Well worth every penny. You get so much more life out of the same blade, I’m still on my same blade,you do also have to change out the mat but you’re able to change it in four different directions so I’m still on my first mat as well After two years! They also have different blades you can purchase as well like a deco blade, wavy, scallop I love adding those details now to my layouts.

I use We Are Memory Keepers paper trimmer and score board and it works for me. You have to use the trimmer blade started at the top not the bottom.

I went through so many trimmers looking for a good one. I finally bought a Fiskars with the rotary blade and I love it. I have used it for several years and never had to change the blade. If something happened to it I would definitely get another one like it. I got mine on sale for a great price. But I would be willing to pay full price if I had to.

Great video. Thanks for trying out these trimmers. I hate fuzzies too! Good information for the next time I need to purchase a trimmer.

I am looking for a good paper trimmer. I am considering buying a German made rotary cutter that I have seen online. I have several cutters and some cut really well but… most of them don’t line the paper up square! That drives me crazy! I’m not sure that I heard you mention that particular issue.

I like the cricut but especially like the Dress my craft. Bought 2 so I can leave one upstairs, it's that good! I tend to UT in my lap on a lap board since my desk is chaos and I get great cuts and scores . I haven't tried the new Tim Holtz, but am so happy with the Dress my craft can't see myself buying the Tim one. Have used the Fiskars with the wire guide for so many years, and so am spoiled by the wire for placement. So in the end I reach for the fiskars or the Dress my craft. The cricut one is now my spare for craft classes.

My favorite is my Martha Stewart trimmer but I’m selective on what I use it on since I can’t get them anymore😭
