I have used it several times this month and was very pleased with the results. All of my uses so far were for thermal laminating. I was a little disappointed that the directions didn't offer more info regarding COLD laminating but there is an 800# which I will use at sometime for my questions re. Cold laminating.
I purchased the laminator to help me get ready for the new school year since I just recently had ankle surgery and cannot drive. It is very easy to use and the lamination is very nice. I also like the thicker lamination because the projects tend to hold up better.
This was worth the price. Works great. I was able to laminate everything I needed. Heats up quick! Cools down quickly also. Definitely would recommend!!!
This laminator does a great job except for two things. The first thing is that every 25 to 30 minutes it basically shuts off. You have to turn it off for a couple of minutes and turn it back on to heat again before you can continue laminating. The other thing I have had a problem with is that if you do not put the laminating pocket in almost against the far right side of the machine the pocket that your document is in will continue to slide further to the left until it becomes slightly creased on the left side towards the bottom of the pocket. Otherwise I have tried different thicknesses of paper that I laminated and had no problem with the lamination coming out looking great. I would recommend this laminator to someone. Overall the result is great.
