What is the best paper Cutter

I have a paper cutter and I have never ever been very pleased with it but it served its purpose but now that I am working on pages more it is a pain. My cutter regardless does not cut straight. It was one of the fiskars one with the orange blade that slides back and forth. Then I have another word that is larger that is a royal pain. I purchased it awhile ago and I have just pulled it out. It is also a fiskars cutter but this one you have to pull up the guide slide the paper under it then lock in the guide then you have to push down and up for the blade to cut (it is a pain). I am looking for suggestions for a new cutter. Any suggestions and please tell me why you like your cutter.

I have a fiskars with a rotary blade. You can replace the little round blades when it goes dull.

That is the one I have and I hate it. You have to push down and then forward to cut. Is that the same one? You can switch out the regular blade for decorative blades right?

I have the Cutterpede and I really like it. It needs a new blade though it is cutting the edges really rough. Fiskars came out with a new cutter I wonder if it has the same wobble problems as the old one. I have one of the old Fiskars but don't use it much since it doesn't cut straight.

I have a CM little cutter that I like that cuts 4x6 pictures and I also have the Fiskar's 12" personal cutter that I like. I know I have to be careful to align it just right or it is cutting weird but I wouldn't trade it for a thing. I also have a quilter's rotary cutter that use with the fiskar's and it works great.

I am still a big fan of the cutterpede. It cuts straight and the rulers are easy to use. I like a rotary blade personally. The refill shuttles are not expensive and you can get specialty blades now.

I also have the Cutterpede big and small one. I like the round blade it cuts through several layers if needed. And it has always cut straight. Hilda

I have two cutters that I dearly love. One is the Fiskars 12" Euro Personal Paper Trimmer. Seen here at Fiskars:

I've had it for several years, and I love it. It is definately better than they're other 12" trimmer! Earlier this year, I bought SU's Tabletop Cutter. Oh my gosh! I've found a new love. If it was a man, I'd cheat on DH in a heartbeat. LOL I absolutely LOVE this thing. It's like the guiotinne trimmers with the arm that comes down and cuts. The arm stays up very easily, so I don't worry about it coming down on me. There's a paper guide/holder that you push down to hold your paper down and it keeps your fingers safe. I've actually accidentally rested my finger ON the paper guide/holder and brought down the cutting arm. It just pinched my finger some, so it's safe enought that I don't freak out if my kids get it out. (But just to be safe, they know it's off limits...they have to ask first.) It easily cuts 12x12. I've used it to cut slivers of cardstock. I've cut 2-3 sheets of cardstock at once, too, something I wasn't successfully able to do with the Fiskars cutter. Between the two, I go with my SU Tabletop Cutter first. But when I don't feel like getting it out due to it's bulk, I go with my Fiskars one. Either one is a great cutter!
