Ordered this for a project I'm working on. For the price of the unit and the laminating sheets, it just made more sense to purchase my own machine - taking them to an office store can get pretty pricey per sheet, adding up in cost very quickly. I don't intend to use it much beyond this project but it will be nice knowing one will be here and readily available in case something else does come up. I'm sure I'll find random reasons to turn it on and laminate. Here are some PRO's and CON's that may help.PROS▪ Cost of unit is very reasonable▪ Sleek, clean design. Not an eyesore if left out unless you're opposed to the color white.▪ Compact size - easy to put away or store in small spaces▪ Very lightweight, easy to move around▪ Very simple to operate▪ Has the option for 5mil and 10mil thermal laminating sheets▪ Has a jam release lever▪ The outside of the machine (bottom/top) only gets warm, not hot to the point of being unable to pick-up, move or cause damage to surface of desk, table, etc.▪ Operates quietly▪ Heats up and ready to use in about 5 - 7 minutesCONS▪ The unit ONLY comes in the color white▪ Does NOT have "guides" to help when feeding the sheet into the machine - as a result (if you're not careful), sheets can enter in at an angle and cause crumpling and folding while going through the rollers - which may potentially and permanently damage your document/photo/etc.▪ Has a particular scent when initially heating up - nothing too strong or unbearable, but a slight "burning plastic" smell none-the-less▪ Takes about 5 - 7 minutes to initially heat up. Apparently other brands are competing with a 1-minute heat-up▪ Does NOT shut itself off automatically if you happen to forgetThe box includes 2 sample sheets to test out the machine. It was with one of those sheets that I realized I was going to have to be more careful when feeding it through, it entered misaligned and one of the corners folded over and began crumpling the rest of the page. I grabbed what had already gone through from the back of the machine and pulled very lightly from one side in an effort to realign the rest of the page. That worked, just remember the plastic coming out will be hot to touch, make sure you have enough to pull on that has already cooled. I turned the sheet around and ran it through again beginning from the side that hadn't crumpled to smooth out the folds. That did help some. Since it was a test sheet it didn't matter, but I probably would have been upset had it been the only copy of something important. The machine tries to reheat itself to maintain the temperature after every sheet so the red light will come on. If I'm only doing a couple of sheets or a small few - I ignore the light and continue laminating, the machine is still hot enough. More than that will require some patience between each sheet or a full 5-10 minute break to let it completely reheat. Neglecting to do so will result in "foggy" looking lamination that hasn't completely bonded or sheets that will begin to bubble and peel open.In all, I would recommend this to someone who desires to laminate small jobs at a time or infrequently.The temperature on this unit isn't high enough to allow for a faster pass through so larger jobs will take more time.I am satisfied with my laminator. Thank you to those who submitted all the other reviews, they helped me in deciding to purchase this. If my review has also helped you, please let me know.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Good, the Bad
Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2019
This is my 3rd machine over the last ten years. The first one was lost in a military move. My son attempted to glue and laminate at the same time. This cause the laminate paper to catch and burn the paper. LOL!!! Other than that, this thing is a workhorse!!! It is mostly indestructible!!! I teach PreK. My machine has been dropped, thrown, stepped on, jumped on, and left out in the elements over night (After a long day of parent conferences, I left it and my bag on top of my car. Both remained in the parking lot until I drove back the next day.) Thank God!!!! But I say all of this to explain the durability of this device. There are some methods that can make the laminating process easier:

1. I use Amazon 5mm sheets. The sheets are around $10 for a pack of one hundred. The $10 price is only through the week. Amazon jacks up the price to $13 on the weekends. This year I have gone through 12 packs. The sheets are reliable and hold up well.

2. There is a learning curve to the sheets. Each sheet has a curve to it. Place the laminate sheets into the machine with the curve facing down. I had to learn this the hard way...after ruining hundreds of sheets. See my photos to get a better idea. The photos show the curve facing up, followed by the curve facing down. The next photos show bent, curved, damaged sheets after placing the sheets in with the curve facing up. The next picture shows crisp, smooth sheets that were placed in downward. The sheets that are down-facing, go through the machine without any problems. My sheets do not have curved, bent ends anymore after using this method. The machine also does not jam paper anymore.

3. This machine is not fast. It works and it works well, however, after making hundreds of laminate items... this will take you an hour or more to complete a pack of 50-60 sheets. This does not bother me... it may bother you... I have a machine that is a third of price of others and it works just as well. However, if you are about speed, this is not your machine.
Lastly, the quality of the product cannot be under sold. This is an amazing laminate machine. I no longer worry about, when I will have time to run to the teacher store, or if the location is convenient.
I hope this helps!
