I have always purchased Swingline products. However, I am absolutely satisfied with the Bostitch Impulse 25 Electric Stapler. It has some weight plus suction cups, so it doesn't slide around when you insert the sheets of paper. The opening prevents you from inserting more pages than the stapler's capacity, which is handy. But what I like the best is that it staples with authority. The staples go in firmly and the bottom ends are curved in so there are no finger pricks. And in the 4 months I have been using it, the Bostitch Impulse 25 Electric Stapler has not jammed -- not even once! Also, it takes standard staples, which is convenient.

I noticed from other reviews that for some people the stapler broke within a few days. I have found that with electric/electronic devices, a device either fails right out of the box or it fails within the first few days or weeks. This is not untypical of modern manufacturing. However, if a device continues to work after the initial period, it is good for years. I think that is true of this Bostitch stapler.

I had been using a manual Swingline stapler for the past 15 years at work but the constant jams and the fact I couldn't staple more than 10 sheets of paper at a time convinced me to finally buy an electric stapler.
This stapler sounds like a staple gun when it fires which can initially spook some people but my immediate office neighbor got used to it after a couple of days.
There is a blue light that lights up when the staples are almost out (usually 6 staples until empty) and the stapler itself holds 4 strips plus the one in use and a staple remover that pops out of the top.
There are 4 suction cups to keep the stapler from moving around on slippery surfaces
My only issue that I have run into is that you can't change the depth of how far into the stapler the paper goes before the stapler fires. On a manual stapler, you slide the paper forward or back depending on where you want the staple. On this stapler, you can only move the paper over to the left or right, but not any further forward or backward.

First unit failed after a few months and was replaced under warranty. Second unit lasted about the same time, still under the original warranty period - constant jamming using factory supplied staples. Customer service explained that this stapler isn't designed to staple 50-75 times per day and that we were exceeding its design parameters. What? So, if you want to staple a few times per day, this should be fine. But if you actually have work to do, skip this one. And I wouldn't buy the 5000 pack of staples, you won't get that far...

2 dead, less than 2 months each.

Bought our first one for the store where I work about 5 years ago from a brick and mortar store for more than $100, NOT including tax, and it was great for most of those years.

I don't know if Bostitch changed manufacturing practice, or if they just produced a bunch of lemons, but the ones on offer now are just shoddy imitations.

Bought in mid-November, first one died early January (roughly 10 days out of return window)

Thinking it was a fluke, bought another a few days later mid-Jan.

Dying as I write this on March 3, 16 days past return window.

And if anyone is wondering, we use the Bostitch brand B8 "PowerCrown" staples ONLY, so either the unit is junk out-of-the-box, or Bostitch staples break it.

Time to try ANYTHING else.

This is a great stapler. I have to do a lot of stapling at work and this really speeds things up because I have to use both hands to pick up paper out of two stacks and then square them up and then staple them. Other electric staplers that I have used staple rather slowly as though there is some sort of gear inside that has to make a full rotation to staple the papers. However, this one is much more like a staple gun or a nail gun. With this one, I insert the papers and, bam, it's done immediately. Sounds like a small thing but if you have to do a lot of stapling, it speeds things up. Product feels as though it is high quality; nice heft.
