I purchased this at a store and thought it would be great for a new homeschooler.The smell of it heating was horrible! Then my first piece jammed inside the machine and there was no way to get it out!! Their was also o way to stop the feed when I realized it was not coming out the other end! I even tried to pull it back out the front as it hung partially out with no success! I tried to call their customer service, left a message but got no response. I returned it to the store the next day for another brand that had a release in case of a jam!

This is the perfect product for any business, small or large. I'm able to laminate signs, photos, documents, and IDs with no problem except one incident where a small item got jammed, so be sure to laminate small items with caution. There's no adjustable temperature control, a minor demerit.

I would not recommend this laminator because it has a problem with jamming and there is no jam release button as other laminators have. I will be purchasing one of these other laminators to replace my purple cow waste of money

Performs exactly as expected. Is easy to use and does an excellent job.Compact Lamination Kit - 13"

Excellent low-cost home machine for a preK/elementary teacher.

Manufacturer recommends .3 mil pouches, I've used my .5 mil stock with no problems. Bought in bulk (100+ pouches) the savings for .3 mil is real.

Getting the 13" bed is a real plus; if you lam a bunch of 8.5" x 11" you will do four in the time other machines do three!

I've used it for about 200 laminations. It heats up about as quickly as any other home machine I've used, and hasn't overheated. Throughput speed is pretty standard.

This is a great product it works well and i am truly pleased with it. I have been able to laminate all the things i needed for my classroom and the shipping was fast. :)

The very first piece that I tried laminating with this wrapped around the cylinder and had to be cut free with a pair of scissors. The store that I bought it at would not exchange it - they said that needed to be handled directly with the manufacturer. I called the manufacturer about the problem and they immediately sent me a replacement...which was very nice of them because they didn't even ask me to return the original one, but the replacement didn't work any better than the original. So now I've got two Purple Cow laminators that don't work well. I've gotten used to my final projects having folds and creases in them.

I was not sure it would work good, it does. I love that it has all the pocket sheets with it at a great price. Could have been shipped faster.

I bought one of these and the first item I placed in it got stuck and never came out. I thought it was a faulty machine, so I exchanged it and tried again. Same result! Two items lost to this machine.

I'm thrilled that I can laminate poster-size materials.
Heats up a little slowly however....
