Ordered this for a project I'm working on. For the price of the unit and the laminating sheets, it just made more sense to purchase my own machine - taking them to an office store can get pretty pricey per sheet, adding up in cost very quickly. I don't intend to use it much beyond this project but it will be nice knowing one will be here and readily available in case something else does come up. I'm sure I'll find random reasons to turn it on and laminate. Here are some PRO's and CON's that may help.PROS▪ Cost of unit is very reasonable▪ Sleek, clean design. Not an eyesore if left out unless you're opposed to the color white.▪ Compact size - easy to put away or store in small spaces▪ Very lightweight, easy to move around▪ Very simple to operate▪ Has the option for 5mil and 10mil thermal laminating sheets▪ Has a jam release lever▪ The outside of the machine (bottom/top) only gets warm, not hot to the point of being unable to pick-up, move or cause damage to surface of desk, table, etc.▪ Operates quietly▪ Heats up and ready to use in about 5 - 7 minutesCONS▪ The unit ONLY comes in the color white▪ Does NOT have "guides" to help when feeding the sheet into the machine - as a result (if you're not careful), sheets can enter in at an angle and cause crumpling and folding while going through the rollers - which may potentially and permanently damage your document/photo/etc.▪ Has a particular scent when initially heating up - nothing too strong or unbearable, but a slight "burning plastic" smell none-the-less▪ Takes about 5 - 7 minutes to initially heat up. Apparently other brands are competing with a 1-minute heat-up▪ Does NOT shut itself off automatically if you happen to forgetThe box includes 2 sample sheets to test out the machine. It was with one of those sheets that I realized I was going to have to be more careful when feeding it through, it entered misaligned and one of the corners folded over and began crumpling the rest of the page. I grabbed what had already gone through from the back of the machine and pulled very lightly from one side in an effort to realign the rest of the page. That worked, just remember the plastic coming out will be hot to touch, make sure you have enough to pull on that has already cooled. I turned the sheet around and ran it through again beginning from the side that hadn't crumpled to smooth out the folds. That did help some. Since it was a test sheet it didn't matter, but I probably would have been upset had it been the only copy of something important. The machine tries to reheat itself to maintain the temperature after every sheet so the red light will come on. If I'm only doing a couple of sheets or a small few - I ignore the light and continue laminating, the machine is still hot enough. More than that will require some patience between each sheet or a full 5-10 minute break to let it completely reheat. Neglecting to do so will result in "foggy" looking lamination that hasn't completely bonded or sheets that will begin to bubble and peel open.In all, I would recommend this to someone who desires to laminate small jobs at a time or infrequently.The temperature on this unit isn't high enough to allow for a faster pass through so larger jobs will take more time.I am satisfied with my laminator. Thank you to those who submitted all the other reviews, they helped me in deciding to purchase this. If my review has also helped you, please let me know.

▪ Very lightweight, easy to move around

CONS
▪ The unit ONLY comes in the color white

Size: 9-InchVerified Purchase
After having the same laminator for about 8 years that just now started to die out, I was on a very nervous hunt to find another one that would last just as long. I sell badges at conventions and laminate 40-50 badges in a weekend and needed something that would be able to heat up quickly and travel well, and have no air bubbles so things wouldn’t need to be re-printed.
DAMAGE:
I got this in the mail today and right away noticed that it had been extremely damaged in the corner. The bottom piece was “unhooked” and needed to be pushed back into place and the dent on top was really noticeable (will include a picture.) This is the only reason I’m giving the item a 4 star rating. It was packaged very safely and well, so I’m surprised at the type of damage. I was really anxious that it would be broken because of this, so I did a test run immediately.
LAMINATION QUALITY:
The lamination quality is absolutely flawless. There’s not a single air bubble, it laminates like a mm away from the cut image, so I can cut the laminate super close without allowing it to “loosen up” in the future if it was accidentally bent. It has the option to do 3mil or 5mil lamination. I tested on a 3mil sheet and look forward to purchasing 5mil to see if it holds the same quality.
PORTABILITY:
With all of the stuff I need to carry to and from a convention, I needed an extremely travel-able piece of machinery. Something that was small and sturdy. The dent in the top made me nervous at first, but the entire rest of the machine is SO sturdy and yet very petite. The plastic is extremely thick and dense, but it’s lightweight. It doesn’t have much of a rounded edge at all, so it stacks/organizes well with other pieces of machinery that I might need to bring with me. It’ll very neatly fit in a carry on, backpack, or even a big purse. The cord is thin (but not flimsy) and easily compacted, with a reasonable reach, so I can plug it in on the floor and have it resting on the table. Perfect for my needs.
HEAT:
The last thing I think that’s important is how HOT this thing gets. The body is thick enough that the surface doesn’t get “burn your finger” hot, but when you laminate, make sure there is a hard surface behind/underneath the laminator so the sheet can rest on a flat surface as it cools. You CAN run a cut+laminated object through this again. The badges I cut are all odd and weird sizes, and I often re-run them after cutting them out of the larger sheet, just to make sure it’s adhered well. The machine had no issue at all putting a weird size/shaped laminated image back through. (No clogging, jamming, etc.)
All in all, this machine is flawless except for the surface damage. I will not be returning the item to have it replaced because of the damage, though. No need when the interior works just fine. One last BIG pro for me is the noise level. I hadn’t realize just how loud my old laminator’s rollers were until I ran this bad boy. Absolutely silent. This is an awesome perk for me because any extra noise happening in a crowded convention can really make it hard to communicate with customers. I wouldn’t even know this thing was on if the “On” and “Ready” lights weren’t SO bright (which is also nice. Definitely no guessing whether or not it’s ready to use.) Not to mention, this thing laminates FAST. I would recommend this laminator to anybody.
