I initially liked this laminator after laminating a couple of sheets, until I needed to laminate several printed documents in a row. 9 to be exact.
Firstly, this thing can't stay hot enough to do several documents in a row. All the lights start cycling through & blinking if you happen to try to laminate more than a couple of documents. It's then necessary to shut it off & wait a significant amount of time for it to cool down before it can be used again. This is a time waster & a deal breaker.
The second serious deal breaker: the support which is supposed to allow the laminated items to slide out & sit on it as they come out of the back end of this thing is a piece of junk. The items get caught on it, causing the warm laminated sheets to seriously buckle & crease. It's nothing more than a thin, poorly designed piece of &^$! wire. Trying to even get it in the holes it's supposed to fit in is absolutely futile. I had to run several of the laminated items through the machine again - 2 more times each - in order to fix this issue. It was that, or throw them out because the printed items I laminated were completely deformed.
I'm going to send this unit back. I can see wanting to toss it in a ditch within the next few uses. Glad I decided to really test it out in a typical, day-to-day manner as I would need to use it for my business because it just doesn't cut it. I wouldn't use it for business - my intended purpose - or even for crafting. Definitely NOT in a classroom situation which might require multiple pieces to be laminated in a short period of time.
