Amazing lamination
on February 20, 2024
Posted by: Coll412
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Venus laminator is a fabulous machine. It is bigger than I expected, but it is also faster and more efficient. The Venus laminator heats up so fast. I was ready to start laminating in an instant. It laminates 8.5 by 11 pages like a champ. It was really nice that the machine automatically detects the thickness of the laminating film because I always forget which thickness I’m using. It sucked in the page and was in and out in an instant with excellent quality. My problem came when I tried to laminate something smaller than a letter sized sheet of paper. Considering that I don’t like to read directions. I tried to feed in the business card sized item to which the Venus kept kicking it back out. So I consulted the directions to find that I needed to have the right sized laminating pouch. So as a PSA, make sure you use the right sized pouch and all will be well! Overall it’s a great laminator, great quality with fabulous results in a short amount of time. I received this product free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
Pros: Anti-Jamming Features, ease of use, Mil Thickness Capacity, Quality Construction, Safety Features, Speed, fast warmup
Cons: need right sized laminating pouches
I would recommend this to a friend!

Heats Up Fast!

Posted by: Sara
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This laminator was great. I didn't even have to wait for it to heat up. It was ready inside of one minute which was terrific because I needed my material right away. It hasn't jammed on me and I love that it will automatically shut off because I was in a rush and forgot to turn it off. Get this! You will love it. I received this product free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
Pros: Anti-Jamming Features, ease of use, Quality Construction, Safety Features, Speed

Excellent product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This laminator was warm so quickly that I barely had the pouch ready. I love that it laminates up to A3 size papers. When I made a mistake loading the sheet, the machine reversed it and gave me a chance to correct. I’m very pleased with this laminator. I received this product free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
Pros: Anti-Jamming Features, ease of use, Mil Thickness Capacity, Quality Construction, Safety Features, Speed, Warranty

Excellent machine
on February 18, 2024
Posted by: Hobbyshots
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Venus 125 is a dream to use. The quick warm up means it can be used easily without wasting time waiting to laminate. I love the cold laminate feature and the reverse is a wonderful feature that comes in handy when needed. I love the versatility. Works efficiently and quick, also the compact size is sturdy but also allows you to move to other areas if needed. Great machine! The Venus 125 allows for use of various size mil laminate pouches so you really can do just about anything with this machine. I especially like the anti jamming feature as well as the speed in which it both heats and laminates. You won’t be disappointed. I didn’t expect to love this laminator so much! I received this product for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
Pros: Anti-Jamming Features, ease of use, Mil Thickness Capacity, Quality Construction, Safety Features, Speed, Warranty, size and design

Best laminator I have ever used!
on February 18, 2024
Posted by: MrsK
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been an elementary/middle school teacher for over 30 years. I have laminated numerous items throughout my years. This laminator is the ultimate best one I've ever used! It is very quick, efficient, clear and without any air bubbles, every sleeve was completely sealed, and overall very simple to use! I laminated many different sleeves that I received and that I had. Every single one of them came out perfectly. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who laminates a lot! I received this product free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
Pros: Anti-Jamming Features, ease of use, Mil Thickness Capacity, Quality Construction, Safety Features, Speed, Warranty
Cons: heavy if you have to move it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Laminator
on February 15, 2024
Posted by: Keilana
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great laminator. I am a teacher and this is a great machine. It seems to be a very solid machine and it allowed me to laminate a variety of items with ease. Though it is not as light as the small personal laminators, I can transport it fairly easily if I want to take it to school. I loved the quick start up time. I am impressed by the quality of this laminator. The only con I have is it a bit louder than any of the other Fellowes laminators that I have used. *I received this product free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. "
Pros: Anti-Jamming Features, ease of use, Mil Thickness Capacity, Quality Construction, Safety Features, Speed

Best laminator I have EVER used!
on February 14, 2024
Posted by: Aytaybayy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This laminator is by far the nicest laminator I have ever used! It was so easy to set up and use. It warmed up in only 30 seconds (with no plastic or burnt smell). The lamination went through extremely quickly, but the lamination was thick and durable! It is so large-lipped and even went at an angle with no issue. The only con I saw (a minuscule one) is that when the lamination comes out it does not stay on the laminator well. To combat that issue I simply put a basket on the end and it was perfect. I am a teacher and this is going to save me so much time and energy! *I received this product free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.*
Pros: Anti-Jamming Features, ease of use, Mil Thickness Capacity, Quality Construction, Speed, warm up speed
Cons: output containment
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you for taking the time to post your great review, Aytaybayy! We appreciate your feedback, but we also want to be sure you saw the integrated exit tray extensions on the back of the unit. These extensions will hold the document upon exit, so the document has time to cool. We hope this helps!
