When you first plug in the unit, it automatically goes into the cold laminating mode. This is a good safety feature since you have to manually push one of the three, pouch thickness buttons to activate the heating element. Once you’ve selected the pouch thickness, the unit takes about 4-5 minutes to achieve operating temperature. It should also be mentioned that the device remains cool enough to touch even though internally it is quite hot. A quiet fan can be heard but it is very low in volume and barely noticeable. When the unit is unplugged, it will take 60-90 minutes to completely cool down.

The laminator feeds the pouch through the machine at a rate of 12 inches per minute. It is not fast. For high production volumes of laminated items, you’ll be spending a good deal of time feeding the pouches through the machine. If a pouch gets jammed for some reason, there is a lever in the back of the machine that you can depress. This removes tension from the rollers allowing you to manually remove the pouch from the machine.

Occasionally a lamination will have bubbles. You can usually feed it through the machine again and in most cases that will eliminate the bubbles,.

I use this quite often and it has performed well. It is quiet in operation and does a great job. There are a variety of pouch sizes available and you can easily trim pouches to fit the item after it has been laminated.

The laminator comes with a packet of 10-3mil laminating sheets.

This arrived in a lift top Fellowes branded box, everything was well packed with moulded cardboard each end for added protection during transit, on the top it had the 10 free pouches and the instructions, with the instruction booklet being clear and easy to follow having linked diagrams taking you through the process step by step.

First impressions: I have not had or even used a laminator before so didn’t know what to expect and was quite surprised how small and simple it was without a multitude of different settings and buttons. The unit is quite light looking and feeling good quality.

After having a read through the instructions I printed off some learning sheets for laminating I wanted for my four year old to be able to practice writing and arithmetic. Laminating is simple and easy and there aren’t really any controls or settings to get wrong, all you have to do is insert the paper/card you want to laminated between the pouch, turn the laminator on and wait for the green light indicating the temperature is correct then insert the pouch with the paper/card inside sealed edge first and off it goes.

Overall simple but effective, it laminated the learning sheets I wanted perfectly and they are ideal for my daughter to practice on being able to clean them off quickly and easily even in water as they become waterproof, the process is fairly slow so it would in my opinion not be great at quick multiple sheets but for simple home use I can’t knock it.
