[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just from opening the box, I knew this laminator and I would become good friends. It is so easy to use and it is has a super sleek design that doesn't make it look like a bulky item, but something that can easily be placed anywhere and not have it take up any space. As a teacher, I use laminators a lot and this one warmed up super fast (within a minute) and I especially love that it can laminate much larger items up to at least 12 inches. I used the laminator to create a bulleting board display with at least 20 pages and it laminated them in record time - and properly - with the 3 mil pouches the package brings. While I have not used the jam release button yet, I am so glad it has one since my last one had to thrown out due to a major mishap and no way to clear the jam. The best feature for a teacher is the auto-shut off since I tend to do a lot of things at once and I tend to forget to turn off devices. This feature saves me the trouble. As you can see, it is a pretty good laminator and the Halo 125 Laminator gets a teacher thumbs up from me. "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

A perfect laminator
on November 29, 2021
Posted by: Maurdaly
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a perfect laminator as my title says. It is lightweight and small, making it easy to store and handle. When I go to use it the space requires is minimal which is good because I have a small office. The best feature, though, is its ease of use. Two steps and you are done! I’m so glad I got this product since I have a stack of artwork my children made over the years that I wanted to laminate. This made that job simple and fast. I would highly recommend this product.

works great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this unit to demo and try out since I was looking for a simple desktop laminator. It does exactly what I need it do do for easily being able to laminate some 5x7 and 3x5 card stock and can easily do full sheets as well. I like the 2 settings for the pouch thickness and overall am very happy with how quick and easy the unit works.

Easy to Use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've really enjoyed using the Fellowes® Halo™ 125 Laminator and I was pleasantly surprised that it came with a 25 Pouch Starter Kit. The InstaHeat Technology let's the unit warm up in just one minute. It's perfectly sized for my small office in my apartment. I use this laminator more than I could've ever imagined. You can use 3-mil or 5-mil hot or cold pouches and up to 12.5" paper. There's even an auto shutoff feature that activates after 30 minutes of inactivity to prevent overheating and help conserve energy. I frequently laminate important documents, certificates, or anything I wish to preserve and keep in excellent condition and this is the perfect tool for doing so.
Pros: ease of use, Quality Construction, Warranty
Cons: n/a

Great Lightweight Laminator!
on December 7, 2021

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Halo125 Small Office Laminator by Fellowes is a great tool to have in your home office. The machine is small, light weight & compact which makes it easy to store while not in use. The Laminator takes approximately 1 minute to heat up and allows the selection of cold lamination, 3mil or 5mil sleeves. The machine has a few safety features also such as the Jam button which allow you to remove the document if a problem occurs and the auto shut off which powers down the unit if. It in use for several minutes. It was nice of Fellowes to include a very descriptive user manual and 25 3mil lamination pouches to get you started. I also appreciate the warranty that comes with the laminator. Trust me, you will enjoy using this product!
Pros: Anti-Jamming Features, ease of use, Mil Thickness Capacity, Quality Construction, Safety Features, Speed, Warranty

Works Great!
on December 11, 2021
Posted by: aebn2001
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This laminator works great. Easy to setup and easy to use. I like the option of being able to switch between cold or hot laminating. When powered ON, it defaulted to cold laminating. You will need to press the PLAY button to switch to heat laminating (3 or 5 mil thickness) and the rollers heat up fast. The wide entry (12.5 in) is accommodating to different document sizes. I usually forget to shut this off when done so I love, love, love the auto shutoff safety feature. This thing came with a pack of laminating pouches (25). My wife is an educator, so it all been used up. We already purchased 2 more packs of laminating pouches!

Homeschool Family
on December 12, 2021

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My family is homeschooling this year and the Fellowes Halo 125 Laminator with Pouch Starter Kit is an excellent addition to our homeschool.
It’s lightweight and small and looks very slim and sleek. The Fellowes Halo 125 Laminator with Pouch Starter Kit is not an eye sore sitting on my desk and you can use 3 or 5-mil hot or cold pouch up to 12.5 paper. Also receiving the free pouches saved my family money.
There's even an auto shutoff component that activates after 30 minutes of inactivity to prevent overheating and help conserve energy. It’s states Insta heat technology but It does takes a little longer than suggested to warm up but then 1 & 2 and you’re done!
I highly recommend the Fellowes Halo 125 Laminator with Pouch Starter Kit.
