Great Laminator!
I have to say, I was somewhat concerned by the one star/no star reviews, most of which dealt with the laminator not working. I purchased it nonetheless, and I am GLAD that I did! Worked right out of the box, everything very simple to understand and operate. My first project was to laminate recipe cards for my wife. I put the recipes on 8 X 5 inch cards, and placed them 2 per laminate page (Fellowes Thermal Laminating Pouches, 5 mil thickness, and they work fine, with plenty of margin to completely seal the cards. I did 59 pouches in a row (total of about 110 pouches done for the project) without a hitch (well, one hitch - I wasn't paying enough attention to the feed and it sent the pouch through at a slight angle, enough to run into the side and cause a bubble. Good news though: I immediately ran it through again (properly) and it ironed the bubbles out; that was the only hiccup in the operation, and that was MY fault, not the machines. All in all, this is a splendid machine for home/light duty use. I used a Fellowes Neutron Plus Rotary Paper Trimmer to trim off the pouch excess, leaving about 1/4 - 5/16ths inch pouch edge beyond the card. The machine is very quiet, and I only have two niggles about it: 1) I would prefer to have the feeding guides a little higher; it's too easy to "go off the rails", although unless it's REALLY off, as in my error, it still works and feeds fine. That said, I recommend paying attention to straightening the pouch BEFORE the rollers catch it to prevent an angle feed. 2) I would have liked a slide out pouch support on the end of the feeder ramp - the Fellowes pouches have a good tacky surface that keeps everything in place, but I would have more piece of mind to have the unsealed end supported a bit more. Other than that, I am pleased with the purchase and functionality of this machine!Ver másVer menos
