I recently purchased the Royal Laminator and was extremely impressed. The laminated pieces it produces are smooth, bubble-free, and cool enough to touch nearly instantly after it finishes. Warm up is fairly fast at a little over 10 minutes, so you don't have to wait long to start laminating. Once warmed up, pieces pass through the laminator at a decent speed. The machine itself has a footprint equivalent to your average desk printer, so it's not going to take up your entire desk. Simply a great piece of equipment that does what it was built for, and does it well.

I bought this laminator to protect receipes that I print on 3 x 5 paper and to protect art work done by my daughter as well as for other documents. I am very impressed with it. It is affordable, doesn't take up a lot of space, warms up in under 15 minutes, and does a great job of laminating in a professional manner. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a home laminator!

If you're a home user or a teacher using this item, you'll find the convinience of it, remarkable. I wish I'd gotten it sooner. It's a great value for the money.

This is a great personal machine! The finished product looks great! The machine is quiet, and easy to use - just plug, warm-up, then insert! When there was a jam, it was easy to remove and it didn't damage the machine. i'm glad that i got it...and what a great price!! Much better than going to office stores!!

Very nice laminator. Haven't had any negative experiences with it yet and have used it periodically for two years now.

I am looking for another Royal PL2112 after another one I bought died. It was only used 20-25 times, and jammed with a laminator pouch in the roller. I took the unit apart and learned that the problem was with gears in the electric motor. I am assuming that this was a freak event. However, if the next one has the same problem, I will post that fact here.

The laminator is heavy and well-built. Heating time is fairly quick for a laminator and pouches do not need a carrier. I have used different sized pouches up to 9x11 with no problem. Most of the times I used it was for laminating business cards. It can laminate them continuously--several at a time swince it is so wide.

The controls are simple: on/off and release. A red light indicates that it is heating up, and a green light indicates it is ready. The only feature I wish it had is some sort of timer. The unit gets rather hot, and I am always worried that someone will forget to turn it off.

Amazon's price is great at $52.

I have used this unit about 12 times. The last time I used it, the document simply disappeared inside the unit. This is unfixable. Once a document gets jammed, the machine is broken and needs to be returned to the manufacturer. My documents were small printouts so it was not a big loss but God forbid you should put a drivers license or important photo in there. You never know when this thing is going to turn on you.

I am very pleased with this product. It heats up quickly, is easy to use and gets the job done in a matter of seconds!

Laminated 2 drivers licenses, 2 registrations, 1 insurance id...... on the 2nd it jammed to never be removed again. If I attempt anymore it will surely catch fire.
Now the fun.. have to figure out how to return it and what it'll cost me and if it's worth it.
I have thrown good money after bad before. Maybe just cut my losses.

Great product! I have used it alot since I got it. I am a preschool teacher and I have used it to laminate all my pictures in my class. I have also used it to laminate several home made games, name tags and just lots of stuff to start the new school year out. I am very pleased with it and it operates so easy and smooth. It doesn't have the burning smell either. Has been a great product for me as a preschool teacher. It also did the 5 mil sheets. So happy laminating to all.
