Features:

* Small footprint: 14� " W x 3�" (6�" with paper tray installed) D x 3" H
* Warm-up time (7 minutes specified, 5� minutes measured). About the same as my 3M Laminator.
* Maximum Size: 9�" pouch width x whatever length sheet you can find.
* Speed: 78 sec. to laminate a standard 8� x 11 sheet.
* Handles 3 mil laminating sheets (standard or legal size) or 5 mil photo (4 x 6")

Pros:
* Works well and it's inexpensive.
* Quality of lamination is very good.
* Attractive
* Small size

Cons:
* Not rated for thicker laminating sheets.
* Not as fast as a larger machine but perfectly acceptable for home use.

After un-boxing, the first thing that struck me was the size of this cool little laminator. It will fit in the corner of your desk and it is attractive. Setup was very fast. Just insert the feed tray, plug in and turn on the rear power switch. A green LED lights when it is warmed up... Read more

I have used way too many laminators at various jobs, and this one is definitely the best I've used yet. It far exceeded my expectations. I'd give it more than 5 stars if I could.

It gets the job done with a maximum of quality and a minimum of frustration, which is what you really need from a laminator. It powers on quickly. It performs reliably. It can handle heavy stock paper in the pouch without flinching. It doesn't take up a lot of room. If you're using this in a production environment, such as laminating badges at a conference, it's going to be the thing that you don't have to call the one expert in the room for, the thing that gives you the least headaches, because it's easy to use and it works.

Three caveats if this is your first laminator, and this is true of all laminators. First, there will be an odd peice of cardboard in the box. Don't throw it out. You need to run it through the machine 2 or 3 times after every use in order to clean it. Gunking is... Read more

I have been wanting a laminator for a whlie now. Well, I have not, but my 10 year old daughter has, and that means I wanted one just so I can get her to stop asking.

This laminator was laminating my daughters drawings and paper cut-out art within 10 minutes of opening the box. That includes reading the instructions. It comes with a small package of 3 mil pouches, big enough for 8.5"x11" paper. We messed one up, but the rest all worked perfect. Even the paper cut-outs stacked 3 sheets thick in areas laminated well without bubbles.

The 3 mil pouches ran through the machine relatively quick, and very easily. The final product is clear, smooth, and sealed. If you are doing large presentations, handouts, or business type work, you would probably want something larger. If you are just a home user, laminating your kids chore lists and artwork, this is the perfect one.

This is quick, easy to use, easy to store, and inexpensive. What else would you... Read more
