Amazon Basics 12-Inch Thermal Laminator Machine, 1 Min Fast Warm-Up, for Documents Photos, Home/Office/School Use, 20 Pouches Included, White

This laminator gave me the results I expected from the similar 3M machine. The 3M 5 mil pouches are great, but I'd frequently get bubbles with the 3M laminator. So I ordered this, and I'm glad I did. It's basically the same machine, but after seven letter-sized, 5 mil laminations, I've got seven perfectly laminated documents and no bubbles—not even on the edges. The 3M manual tells you that it may be necessary to put 5 mill sheets through the machine twice, but I've never had the need with the Amazon Basics version. My machine heats up in almost exactly one minute and is easy to use as any other machine—just feed it in. But your attention can be on aligning the document in the pouch, and not on bubbles.

Works very nicely for my needs,

This laminator is a great value for the money. I have used it to laminate a ton of stuff as a homeschooling mom and it has held up so well. It is very easy to use and I’ve never had an issue with it, it works great! I’ve used it with the laminating pouches it came with and with others I have purchased since then and it’s always gotten the job done! I highly recommend this!

It shuts itself off after about 20 minutes-- even if something is currently running through it, which in turn ruins the item being laminated. Small items get stuck and it wrinkles them-- which in turn ruins the small item being laminated.

This has probably been one of my favorite classroom purchases EVER. It heats up very quickly. I've had it for about a year and haven't noticed any changes in the overall quality or in its ability to work well. You choose between two different thicknesses or lamination and it goes through at a pretty slow pace. I like that it came with a few different pieces of different size lamination sheets, and they had a little grip or stickiness to them to help material stay put until it went through the laminator. Again if you've ever wanted one, just get one!!

Love this limanator. Only used it two to three times so far but it does exactly what it says.

Works fine. I love that it came with all kinds of different sizes to use for the price it’s a good buy but it does get very hot and loud

Great but smells like burning plastic while being used
