This review is from: Fellowes Mars ML 125, 12.5 Inch Home Laminator (Office Product)

I've used it to laminate my insurance car cards and several other small documents, and this machine works perfectly.

With just one pass is enough to have a nice strong laminated document. I usually pass it twice just to reassure the laminating is stronger.

It warms up in a few minutes.

Very nice product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great but doesn't come with trial pouches, November 29, 2009

This review is from: Fellowes Mars ML 125, 12.5 Inch Home Laminator (Office Product)

I am very pleased with this laminator. It is a lightweight laminator for home use. It should only be used with 3 mil pouches, but it accommodates a large variety of sizes, from luggage tags to "menus." If you order it, be sure to order pouches at the same time; I recommend the assortment package initially, which contains enough sizes (except menu) to get a good start.

It works perfectly for my needs. I have a number of recipes that I've printed out to keep in the kitchen and the inkjet ink had gotten wet and smeared during use. I'm so happy that I could re-print and laminate them; they look great!

As per the company, the Fellowes laminator material can be used with dry erase markers, which means you can make re-usable calenders, games, or checklists. Print the calendar or game board on a piece of paper then laminate it. I only have a blue dry-erase marker right now and it does leave a bit of color after wiping, but that happens with whiteboards too.

Finally, despite being glossy, the laminated items work with an optical mouse and I'm going to make myself some custom mousepads.

This review is from: Fellowes Mars ML 125, 12.5 Inch Home Laminator (Office Product)

I bought this for home and small business use. I tried it out for the first time last week. It is very easy to use and the results were good. I did have to run it through twice, but no big deal. Amazon had the best price around. Don't even bother to go to any of the "office product" chain stores. I went to one to buy some laminator pouches and ended up ordering them from Amazon. I got twice as many for half the price!
