I needed an inexpensive laminator to make crafts and signage for my church. This little machine does exactly what I need it to. And, having purchased it just before the pandemic hit, I had no idea how useful it would become. We have been able to create small gifts for stay-at-home parishioners which can be easily sanitized prior to giving.
Pros: Anti-Jamming Features, ease of use
I would recommend this to a friend!

We love what you are doing for you parishioners, TheRev2020! Thank you for sharing your experience with us!
This laminator has been great for our small office. I am the primary user of it. We've had it for about two and a half years and it has held up great. Only in the past week, it has started making a little noise during use. I'm not sure if there's a way I can try and look if anything is caught in it.
Pros: ease of use, Mil Thickness Capacity, Quality Construction, Speed, Warranty
As a career educator, I had many papers, posters, maps, and charts laminated in the school library on a professional laminating machine. The Spectra 95 by Fellowes which I just recently purchased has performed even better than what I have been used to. Thank you!
I laminate a lot for work and (over the years) but this is the first laminator I've purchased for my office. It is absolutely great! It is easy to use, light and no fuss functionality. I love office supplies and getting creative so I can see myself using this for years to come.

Your kind words are appreciated and we will be sure to forward your good comments to management so she can get the recognition she deserves!
The second time I used it the pocket did not feed through and got stuck halfway and I could not get it out. We took it apart to remove it and now it doesn't work.
Pros: ease of use
Cons: Anti-Jamming Features
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I happened upon this laminator at my local office supply store, I had been thinking about buying one for some marketing photo sheets for a client. The machine was marked down, and it was a fantastic deal. I loved that it came with starter pouches. I laminated 7 sheets with no previous experience, and the instructions were clear and easy to understand; the machine was also very easy to operate. Laminating the photos resulted in a richer, deeper color and gave a very professional look to the finished product. I love this machine and cannot wait to use it again!
