Smile Tonic mini guillotine trimmer

Hi Ladies. I do have to say that I love my Fiskars desktop...but I also want a smaller trimmer that is guillotine. Does anyone have the Tonic mini? Thanks!
If so, what do you think? Any input would be great.

I agree with Jeanne S. I keep it on my desk and use it all the time.

I also have it and really like it. It cuts straight and is easy to use. It was worth the money for me, because my old Fiskars just "wasnt cutting it" -- hahaaha, pardon the pun!

I love mine as well. It's perfect for smaller papers and also for photos. Cuts wonderfully straight. Definitely worth the money.

Love it! Cuts crisp and straight every time. And, it's so small I can keep it on my desk right beside me. My other cutter has to be used on the floor because I run out of counter space when I'm stamping!

Smile MINI TONIC---Thanks to ALL!!!

I used to hate Fiskars products because every time I would try it again... I would have the same end result. However, the New Fiskars "Desktop" (that is the newest one) is Phenomenal!!! It is the cream colored one with solid orange circles and dotted yellow circles on it. It was between that one and the larger Tonic and I wanted something that I can leave out at all times and the Rotary Desktop, having 3 children was the best choice for me. Not to mention that I can change out the blades to the decorative ones. I am a perfectionist, and I just can not get over the crisp, clean cut every time. If you are in need of a larger cutter that you can use deco. blades on, Ladies... Let me tell you, Fiskars has definitely outdone themselves this time. Needing a smaller trimmer I am so glad that everyone loves the Tonic mini!!! I will be buying that one in the next few days. Thanks Again You are all wonderful. :-D

I just looked at it a couple of days ago and I was wondering - what are the dimensions for the width? I wasn't sure if you could square up the 4 4/14 inch side of a card. kwim?

I have the Tonic mini and it's great! Cuts straight, easy to store, and easy to use. Two thumbs up!

I have the 12" tonic and I love it! I am sure the mini would be great as well. No replacement blades to buy!

I have both the 12" and the mini and I'll never go back to Fiskars again... the Tonics cut perfectly straight lines and stay super sharp!

Smile Tonic trimmer

I do need a guillotine trimmer for the smaller things, but... Just an FYI the new Fiskars "DESKTOP" is by far the best rotary trimmer EVER especially for being Fiskars. They have definitely outdone themselves with this rotary cutter. I have had several Fiskars trimmers and all have been junk EXCEPT this one. I wouldn't trade this for ANY trimmer. However I do need a guillotine for some things so that is why I needed to know about the Tonic 6"
Just figured I would let you know in case you need a trimmer that has decorative blades. Blessings!
