I recommend this stapler to anyone who enjoys the movie Office Space.
She had a crummy stapler, and we had bought her a new one to replace it at a local chain store a while back. And I hadn't heard any complaints, so really the red Swingline was intended as a humorous gift.
However, once she started using it, she thanked me profusely because as it turns out, the other new stapler we'd bought for her was not nearly as good. And unbeknownst to me, she disliked it and was having trouble with it. So this new red Swingline was not just a joke, it was a fantastic upgrade for her.
The things that make this stapler functionally better than many staplers are:
It's easy to load. The top-loading mechanism is fast and sure. You don't have to fumble with it.
The stapling is positive and sure. It will staple through a thicker stack of sheets than many other staplers can handle.
Lower force required to staple something.
Smooth, well-shaped top that is comfortable for your hand when you want to really try stapling something thick!
The surface of the plate that goes below the paper, and which intercepts the tips of the staples and directs them into the curved shape is very hard and smooth. And the shapes of the depressions that bend the staples over are well-designed.
This seems like a trivial characteristic, but it's vital. With the shapes of these indentations being "correct", and the surface being very hard and smooth, the staples do not dig into the metal plate. Instead, they are smoothly deflected and then guided around to form the back of the finished staple.
Staples need to have sharp points to penetrate the paper easily, but then those sharp points will try to dig into that bottom plate. So it is important that the points intersect with the depressions at an angle that causes them to glance off easily to begin the bending, and not try to dig into the metal. And of course, that surface must be extremely hard so that the points don't dig in or cause the smooth surface to wear or erode.
The result of this being well-designed and made of good materials is that the stapling process is much smoother, with less friction, and far less tendency for the staple to bend improperly and crumple rather than form a proper finished staple shape.
This seems trivial, but it is not. This stapler staples easily through more sheets, and doesn't cause the staples to fail the way a lower-quality stapler is prone to do. And it should last longer.
So while the red Swingline is a humorous meme or icon, the fact is that this truly is a first-rate stapler.
No wonder Milton did not want to give up his red Swingline!
You need staples (it doesn't come pre-filled) but I had some SF4 staple refills that I'd purchased previously that worked great. It looks great on my desk, and makes my other hand tools look dull (literally) in comparison.

I have this model in black at home and decided to go with the chrome one at work. I have used this stapler at many jobs in my past and find it to be the best one in it's class for durability and quality. It will last you a long time and never give you any trouble as long as you use the Swingline SF4 staples. Other types of staples could damage this stapler, so use the right type to avoid any troubles, and you'll be fine.
