Customer reviews
This thermal laminator is amazing. I really liked it. When I first got it, I was a little sad because after the 10th page, the scanner began to crumble the pages. However, after I turned it off for like a few minutes and started it up again, it was working fine and I was able to do over 25 pages in a row. Whenever I put the laminating pocket wrong, I just push the jam handle and it releases the pocket. I am able to straighten the sheet and it comes out good. I have been using it on an off for a few months and it has not given me any major problems.How long does it take to laminate a sheet? Well, it takes about a minute per sheet. It can laminated card stock paper as well.I have included pictures and a video of the machine so that you can see it in action and see the quality of the sheets.I also included pictures of some crumbled pages.

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 minutes
CONS
▪ 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 forget
The 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.

Great Buy
By -aBuyer on June 25, 2019
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.By -aBuyer on June 25, 2019

Jammed after a few months
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on September 2, 2018
Was working fine for 3-4 months then the sheets started getting jammed in the machine. Goes in one side but doesn't come out the other. Ruined multiple projects so far. A real pain since it's back to school season and I'm a teacher who needed this to work.
