I have one. I bought it while I was waiting three years for my Genesis trimer. I actually use my Rotatrim more than my Genesis. The cutting grid took me a while to get used to and for a little while I was convinced it was crooked, but it was just me I like the weight of the trimmer, it's solid enough that's it never shifted on me while cutting, it will cut off a tiny sliver of paper. I'm very happy with it.

I also have both a rotatrim and a genesis and I use my rotatrim almost exclusively. I just find it more user friendly.

I have a Genesis but it does not cut through more than one piece of paper at a time. Does the rotatrim? Also what model do you have?

I have a 15" and I love the size.
Two things to consider when buying the Rotatrim.
It took me a while to get used to this cutter because the printed grid is in metric. I am not sure if you can get in imperial or not. I ended up creating my own grid in inches and gluing it directly to the cutting surface. Also, I was told that there are different grades of cutters and you need to get the Professional or "M" series if you want something that's comparable to the Genesis.
HTH,
Barbara

I am looking at the Rotatrim trimmer and see both the "m" series and "rcm". Are these the same?

I have a RotaTrim that is 12" wide by 24" long. The grid is in 1/4" increments. Shop carefully because some come with a 10mm grid, but they do have the ones with the 1/4" grid.

Cuts one sheet of paper at a time. I've even cut mat board with mine. I wouldn't trade it for any other cutter. I've had mine now for about 10 years.
