Scotch 9" Pro Thermal Never Jam Laminator

I absolutely loved this when I first got it about a year ago. It was so easy and worked great. I have used it maybe 5 times for small projects. Today, I try to turn it on to use and it will not power on. It should last much longer than 5 uses. Very disappointed.

I loved this when it worked but one day, it just would not turn on. I am a teacher and this was so convenient and I only used it a small handful amount of time. I hate wasting money and this was a waste.

Extremely light weight. Maybe a little delicate because it's all plastic but it works as expected and needed. Came with a couple of lamenting sheets.

I tried turning my laminator on one day and it wouldn't light up/turn on. I thought maybe it was the outlet in my classroom, but when I tried in a different area it still wouldn't turn on. Such a bummer! I loved having a laminator in my classroom so that I could quickly laminate things without going to our school work room and waiting until the large laminator warmed up (30-45 min). I probably used this laminator once a week and only for smaller jobs.

I've bought two of these, both quit working within a year of light use. Both have quit working. I am a teacher. I only use this in my room for last minute or occasional use. I use the big machine in the workroom for the bulk of my laminating.

I only used it about 10 times and it stopped working! I had bought this in advance for my classroom, and it’s not returnable anymore. I wish I could get my money back. I read the manual and nothing. It just stopped working completely, won’t turn on.

Just received this laminator. Used it yesterday, worked fine. Today I plug it in and turn it on. Ready light never appears, but then laminator shuts off completely (I assume it overheated). This is the second time this has happened; I returned the first laminator a couple of days ago. The experience is unsatisfactory. The instructions don't say anything about preventing overheating, and neither does the website

Quit working after just 3 times of use. Frustrated beyond words, don't have time for all the returning and waiting for a new one. We wanted to try a different brand than we had been using to see if it would last longer. I guess NO was our answer to that!

I bought this laminator at the start of the school year last year, since my kids were going to remote it felt like a good idea to have a laminator on hand. I have used it a handful of times or less. Today, I went to laminate a chore chart I made for my youngest and it won't turn on at all. I know it was a fairly inexpensive product, but it's annoying. Especially seeing a lot of reviews similar to mine.

Use it twice with wonderful results. Used for household.

I’ve had this for 2 years. I’d say I’ve laminated at least 300 things if not more. Everything comes out great! The machine works beautifully and just as great today as it did 2 years ago right out of the box! Reading the negative reviews all I keep thinking is it seems like A LOT of user error. Make sure you read directions, but the correct pouch size, let the machine heat up till the ready light appears and if you’re having trouble getting the pouch to catch and start being pulled through the machine, take it out, adjust the angle, sometimes I flip the over to the back side and after a try or two I always get it to catch. Sometimes adjusting the tray on the back to more or less of an angle helps too. I ALWAYS laminate using the “5” never the “3”. If I’m laminating thicker paper I might run it through the machine twice to get a really good seal. If you’re cutting the laminate after it’s sealed, make sure you leave a border edge around the paper, you usually can see where seal exactly is if you look closely. If you cut the laminate directly against the paper, breaking that seal, the laminate will immediately peel off. I’m thrilled with this purchase and have used it a ton. I highly recommend if you read directions and follow them.

I bought this item at the end of August. I have only used it about 5 times and it stopped working. Very frustrating!!

I bought this a few weeks ago to replace my old laminator that got jammed. I have maybe used it 3 times and now it turns on, the green ready light flashes and it doesn't heat up. So frustrating!

I loved this laminator. It did the job, until one day it just stopped working completely. I turned it on to heat up and halfway through, it just turned off and never turned back on again. I’ve only had this machine for about 3 years. I never used it extensively, only here and there, so I’m pretty disappointed that it didn’t last longer. Do yourselves a favor and just get the cheaper one. This is not worth the extra $10.

it worked well- i only use it for a few random things- nothing regularly. but just after 16 months it stopped turning on. the manufacturer only covers it for 1 year, so it just magically stops working just when the warranty is over.

I bought this laminator a year ago and used it sporadically in that time. Now it won't power on. What a waste.

I bought this just a few months ago. I love how fast it heats up but as I am in the middle of laminating just now, it just turned off and won't turn back on. Now my page is stuck in the machine and the laminator won't work. So disappointing!

I bought this product two weeks ago. I just took it out of the box yesterday and it won't even turn on! I tried different outlets and still nothing. I googled to find troubleshooting tips and found many people have had this same issue. Very disappointed! Scotch brand is usually MUCH better!

I'm having the same issue other reviewers have had: my laminator worked fine until I didn't use it for like a year due to quarantine. I took it out and it worked one time, but now it won't even turn on. What gives?

Laminator just stopped working! It was nice while it worked but now I'm in a bind. I tried different outlets. So frustrating
