OHH MY GOSH!!! This Laminator is by far the nicest and smoothest machine I've ever seen. this thing is build to last and it sure does do a really good job! I cant believe how fast it heats up also, as soon as i turn it on almost and its ready, I'm able to run very thick material thru it and get a perfect seal literally in seconds after turning it on. if you need quality, quick work, reliability, then get this Fellowes Venus 2 NOW!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you so much for your amazing review, mitchelln! We're thrilled to hear that the Venus 2 has exceeded your expectations! We truly appreciate your recommendation and thank you for choosing Fellowes!
Positives: Very good-looking laminator. White and silver in color and very clean looking. Super-fast warm-up time. Lamination speed is very fast. Negatives or opportunities for improvement: It would be nice to have the icons printed on the laminator; there's just a black background and it's difficult to see the power button. Would also be nice to have a slightly larger opening for the silver flip down panel (maybe my fingers are just big!). Also, if there were adjustable paper guides built in to guide the pouch into the laminator. That way you ensure the pouch enters the laminator correctly.
Pros: Mil Thickness Capacity, Quality Construction, Speed, appearance
Cons: Ease of Use, no adjustable pouch guide, hard to read icons with a black background, opening the flip down panel a bit difficult

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, Hass! We appreciate the favorable review and recommendation.
I have three different Fellowes laminators, but this one is my absolute favorite. I can laminate all of my projects quickly and efficiently, and I've received compliments on all of them. I'm not a professional at this, but it appears to be an expensive type of work. I highly recommend it; it will make your projects so much easier.
Pros: ease of use, Mil Thickness Capacity, Quality Construction, Safety Features, Speed, Warranty

We value your great recommendation, MimiG! Thank you for choosing Fellowes!
I purchased the Venus™2 125 Laminator 2 weeks ago and have used it non-stop with no issues. I've used different pouch thicknesses' with no jams or issues. I like that there is minimal wait time for warm-up and processing. Best desktop laminator I've used in a long time.
Pros: ease of use, Mil Thickness Capacity, Quality Construction, Speed

We are glad you feel it is the best laminator you have used in a long time, Boss1! Thank you for the five star rating and for choosing Fellowes!
We upgraded due to our 6+ year old Fellowes laminator was making a horrible noise. I decided to pay a little more to get a faster heating cycle and am so happy I did! Easy to use, fast to heat up - I couldn't ask for more. Staff have thanked me again and again!
Pros: Anti-Jamming Features, ease of use, Mil Thickness Capacity, Quality Construction, Safety Features, Speed
