The C-50 model is built with a weighted resin base that provides 1.3 pounds of ballast. This weight is a practical safety feature that ensures the unit remains stationary during one-handed note retrieval, addressing the common issue of dispenser movement found in lighter alternatives. The exterior features a stamped stainless steel veneer over a plastic frame, which offers a layer of protection against typical office wear and moisture.
Build Quality and Usability
This dispenser is designed for high-frequency use, though the hinge mechanism utilizes a friction-fit pivot. Specifications indicate that the internal clips may show material stress after approximately 2,500 "pop-up" cycles. It is important to note that the narrow top aperture is specifically designed for Z-fold refills; using standard, flat-stack notes will likely cause the mechanism to jam. The brushed steel finish provides a professional look, though it is susceptible to showing fingerprints and smudge marks during daily handling.
To maintain the one-handed operation, users should ensure the rubberized foam pad on the base remains clean to provide maximum grip on desk surfaces.
