Incredibly modern and effective
on February 10, 2024
Posted by: cutie720
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a teacher, having a laminator that is effective, jam-proof, and of high quality is essential. Not only that, but this laminator is modern, easy to use, and durable. Laminator heats up quickly and the paper goes through easily. I haven't had a laminator in the past that adjusts automatically, but this one does. It is sturdy and it allows for multiple thickness levels. Even though it is larger, it is really modern looking which makes it a statement piece on a desk. It laminates quietly and beeps when it is ready. The starter kit comes with everything you need for effective laminating. I have laminated calendars, bulletin board cut outs, papers, and cardstock. All were done with great ease. I am in shock how fast it heats up and how easy it is for all ages to use. My daughter in middle school even used it to laminate her schedule and found it simple. I love how effective, modern looking, high quality, and user friendly this laminator is. Highly recommend. Note: I received this product in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. Still though I am a huge fan!
Pros: Anti-Jamming Features, ease of use, Mil Thickness Capacity, Quality Construction, Speed
I would recommend this to a friend!

Reliable Laminator
on February 11, 2024
Posted by: Teacher2313
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This laminator has given me consistent lamination whether it is regular printer paper or construction paper, or whether it was pictures or printed text. No burning smell like other laminators. It is a little loud, but not overbearing. I received this product free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
Pros: Anti-Jamming Features, Mil Thickness Capacity, Safety Features
I would recommend this to a friend!

Outstanding Laminator for Home or Office Use
on February 12, 2024
Posted by: Sarah22
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow, this is a serious laminator! I am a teacher and also craft at home and have done my share of laminating. I love the design of this product, as it will fit with either my school or home office decor. I also like that it is hefty yet not bulky. Though it is not as light as the small personal laminators, it can still be transported fairly easily if I want to take it to school. I appreciate the quick warm up time--it is so much faster than others I have used. It is convenient that it senses the laminating pouch thickness and the user does not have to remember to change settings. It is useful for laminating a variety of items. I mostly use it for printer paper, cardstock, photos, and other printed educational materials. Overall, I am impressed by the quality of this laminator especially compared to those currently in my home and workplace. *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

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!

Great Laminator

[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. "

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.

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
