Teacher Necessity!
on April 2, 2024
Posted by: SavvyShopper
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a science teacher, I am constantly constructing hands-on manipulatives to use for classroom activities. These items must be durable in order to withstand the constant handling by many students so a laminator is a teacher necessity. The Venus 125 laminator is a workhorse compared to other laminators which I have purchased. I was able to easily laminate 30+ papers one-after-another quickly and without jams or misfeeds. It heats up quickly (less than 1 minute) and operates fairly quietly. The top of the machine gets warm with extended use but not so much that you cannot touch it. Cosmetically, it is attractive - the front panel can be flipped up when not in use and the light color goes with any decor. It does take up a significant amount of desk space 13 inches wide and 21 inches long and must have clearance in the back for the item to exit. Although I was not able to try it, I believe this laminator is capable of laminating wider items. On the rare occasions when I put an item into the laminator incorrectly, it automatically reversed so that i could make an adjustment and re-insert into the machine. I used Fellowes pouches and had very few misfeeds. A bonus is that the machine has an "automatic off" feature when it has not been used for 30 minutes. Excellent product - I highly recommend! I received this product free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
Pros: Anti-Jamming Features, ease of use, Quality Construction, Speed
I would recommend this to a friend!

The VENUS A3/125 is hands-down the best laminator I’ve ever used. I’ve dealt with multiple competitors, and nothing comes close to the speed and quality of this machine. As a SPED teacher with lots of materials to prep, I absolutely love how fast this laminator works. I can get jobs done quicker than ever before, which helps me stay organized and saves valuable classroom time. If you need a laminator that’s reliable, fast, and built for heavy use, this is the one!
Pros: Anti-Jamming Features, ease of use, Mil Thickness Capacity, Quality Construction, Safety Features, Speed, Warranty
