Customer Reviews for Staples - Thermal & Cold Laminator, 12.9" Width - White/Gray

Works great for my needs, infrequent (< 5 sheets/month) lamination of standard letter size paper. Thus far the lamination sheets that came with the machine have held up well with heavy mist/light rain when I laminated a hiking trail map I printed out at home. I haven't timed the warm up period, I've plugged it in and turned it on and then printed out what I wanted to laminate and by the time I'm done with that & get the paper in the laminating sheet the machine has been ready to go.
I would recommend this to a friend!

broke after a year with very little use

It broke after a year of very little use and it ate a very important document I needed. Luckily, I made a copy of it beforehand but I can't pry open this thing to see if i could get it back. Oddly, it still worked afterwards but only got a couple papers laminated before it started to eat papers again. Piece of junk!

Quit after 1 year

Worked great out of the box. After a little over 1 year, rollers started failing to feed. I guess I'm going to buy a fellowes. Reason is I had bought a staples paper shredder, broke after 3 pieces of paper. Returned it and bought a fellows ahredder, and it's a beast. I dont think ill ever buy a staples branded product again.

used one time to laminate two sheets. put away in box, in the cupboard. took it out today and upon turning it on, the button collapsed inside the device. and no longer works.
i am very gentile on electronics as i know they can be delicate.

Doesn’t work.

Staples laminators don’t work! They crumble up your documents into an unreadable mess, they’re just plastic trash machines. I had to completely disassemble the thing to extract the mess, then reassemble it, but why bother. Do not buy!
