I have 2 of them. I mostly use my old Fiskars one, because it's smaller and more portable, but last year I won a purple cows one which I love... but it takes up a lot of space...and generally I have to stand up to use it. It has nifty guides printed on it so you get the paper just the size you want, and it has interchangeable blades that do different stuff ( I bought those but haven't really used them...LOL)
