  • A: is just the laminate creased or the document also?

    submitted bymickey - 7 years ago
  • A: Usually this means the device isn't all the way heated. Wait a bit longer for it to heat up and that should take care of the creasing.

submitted by jennie - 7 years ago

This laminator offers a compact and user-friendly design, making it suitable for home and small office use. Guests appreciate its ease of operation and the quality of lamination when it works properly. However, many have reported issues with durability, particularly with the feeding tray and overall functionality after limited use.

    Input Tray Broken, Laminator Worthless Now

    2 out of 5 stars
    chlayson - 3 months ago
    originally posted on Scotch
    For the first few months the laminator worked really good, then the input try broke one day when I was closing the tray for storage. Now the laminator is worthless to me because the laminating sheets cannot be loaded correctly due to the broken input tray. I am a Kindergarten teacher and before the laminator broke it was priceless now that it is broken I need to buy a new one, but because I am school teacher I do not have the budget to buy another one. So just a heads up the input tray may break.

    Elasue - 3 months ago, Verified purchaser
    Affordable laminator that is easy to use. Compact, convenient ready light lets you know when it is heated up. Two settings - 3 & 5 mil buttons for the correct heat setting. Feed tray drops down too easily which can cause shifting of the items being laminated. It would be helpful if the feed tray was longer, but given how the product is designed to be compact & portable, that isn't possible. The pouches appear cloudy, but are crystal clear after lamination.

    Nicole - 8 months ago, Verified purchaser
    The actual laminating part works well and I haven’t had any issues with the sheets. However, the tray has broken after a few weeks. There are tiny little knobs that snap into place and hold the tray up, but they’re small plastic pieces, and both are broken. So, I have to hold the tray up and try to get my laminating sheets into the machine. I may try gluing the tray, which means I won’t be able to store the machine in the box.

    Great little machine. I’ve used it several times now, for several months, and I have no complaints. I store it in its original packaging when not in use. The tray: Just take care and gently lift it up into position. Don’t be a beast about it. The smell: It’s a laminator. It gets HOT and melts plastic together. It’d be weird if it didn’t smell. Feeding the sheets: Insert sealed edge into feeder first. Go slow with steady hands on either side, guiding it until the rollers grab. You have a little wiggle room for good reason I would think. Just follow the directions printed plainly on the tray. Let the machine heat up (about 5 minutes), choose the mm to be used, wait for the ready light to come on, and go! I haven’t had an issue with bubbles. I have laminated 8.5 x 11 sheets and smaller cards together in one sheet to be cut after laminating. Very pleased.

    Hubby purchased this a couple of months ago as I've wanted one for crafts etc. The fist time I used it, it was great. Thank goodness as the item was handwritten by my late mother and irreplaceable. Today I tried to laminate several items, it just ate all of them bunching up in the machine. The first one I thought I just didn't wait long enough, nope it ate them, you can't open it to retrieve your project all you can do is push the release lever and pull like crazy to get it out. I hope hubby can get our money back, I should have known better than to let him choose. Had I looked I would have read reviews, and so many have the same issues as I. I'll try to find another brand. Stay away from this one!!!!!!!!! Oh in the bottom of this it asks how likely are you to recommend this item, it won't let me select never.
