A3 Laminator Machine Laminating Machine - Cold and Thermal Laminator with Laminating Sheets for A3/A4/A5/A6, 5-in-1 Lamination Machine with Paper Trimmer and Corner Rounder for Home Office School

Got my laminator yesterday late evening and was not in a rush to try it so waited until today to do some laminating of printouts of documents I have meant to have done for ages. The unboxing was quick and easy and consisted of the Laminator a corner cutter and several different-sized laminating sheets.Set it up on a nice flat surface in the kitchen and then set about some document laminating. I switched it on and it took I guess 90-120 to get to working temperature, no big deal I am in no rush. Prepared my docs in the sheets and set about laminating them. First off you need to get the sheet square in the laminator as the resulting couple of tries I had led to bend and uneven laminating, my fault not the units! The third attempt went fine and once the documents were squared up in the sheet it worked perfectly.If you are looking for a really fast laminator, sorry this is not for you, it is a question of slow and steady getting the job done, also not an issue as I am not in a hurry. The result is perfect, the lamination is excellent and even all around the A4 documents I laminated.In use, it is extremely quiet and of course, it gets hot so as anything like this keep is always best to keep it away from young children as they could get a burn from it.To sum up it is a value for money small good looking unit in black, with a cutter on the top that I doubt I will ever use but is there if you need such a thing, same as the corner cutter it is there if you need it. It has a very small footprint and wherever you use it it will not take up a lot of space. It is quiet in use and I can't really find any fault with it whatsoever plus I have from them a 2-year guarantee once registered with them. I look forward to using more as and when required.DJ Steve

This laminator is ideal for someone who's looking for a basic unit that offers good value for money and does the job well.It's easy to use and even I managed a nicely sealed lamination first time without any problems.1) Plug in to a standard socket.2) Turn on and select hot or cold seal ( cold seal needs different pouches).3) The unit comes with 30 bags of A4 , A5 and A6 pouches.4) The power red light comes on and after about 40 seconds followed by the green light to tell you that the heat is now correct to laminate.5) Load pouch sealed end first carefully aligning onto the rollers.6) It takes about 1 minute to clear from the back end and allow to cool.This laminator will do up to A4 2 x125 microns ( 250 microns). This was my first trial using this and it worked perfectly.It comes with a hand held perforator for holes or rounding corners.Not bad - not bad at all!

Initially was looking for a laminator only - but then seen this one, with the guillotine cutter attached. As an added bonus, it also came with a little tool too round off the squared edges, making everything look more professional.Heats up really quickly, and with the laminate pockets included, can get to use straight away.Great laminator and cutters, and also has a 2 year guarantee too (which you need to activate).Definitely recommended

Fairly good laminator, wouldn’t get if I was using daily! Gets very hot and definitely doesn’t cool down in 10 minutes, if you want to laminate cold after using hot you’ll have to wait a good 30 minutes. The guillotine works pretty well accept it can’t cut the full length of A4 as it isn’t big enough! Comes with pouches for hot, no self adhesive ones for cold! Wouldn’t use hot for any tickets from events you want to protect or anything with a lot of printed colour as it will spread the ink and turn it black. Corner cutter also doesn’t work. Hole punch is very good though, if I could have given 3.5 starts I would. It’s good but not excellent however it is only £30.

Perfect size for a small office. Machine is quiet and quick to warm up.

Excellent Product

I bought this specific laminator as it came with a corner rounder and trimmer. Sadly the performance of all 3 things is poor. Firstly, to laminate, I purchased 75-80mic pouches (ultra light pouches). The paper itself is very lightweight too, so in terms of heavy duty tasks, this wasn't one. The trimmer broke on first use, and the corner rounder will not cut through (see image) leaving messy jagged corners. If it cannot withstand use with such lightweight pieces it stands no chance with card paper and heavier laminating pouches.The laminator itself does the job but begins to give out a strong burning smell after laminating only 3 sheets, so I feel like it's hazardous to continue using.Sadly I got rid of the box already.

In use the machine heats up quickly and the laminated pages are clear. The trimmer and corner cutter are a bonus.
