PRO TL906 Thermal, Laminator Machine, 1 Laminating Device, White/Blue, Laminate Recipe Cards, Photos, Documents, for Home, Office, or School Supplies, 9 in

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!

I am a preschool teacher. I have borrowed from other teachers different laminators, and this time I decided to buy mine. The only ones that are sold here where I live are the Office Depot brand one and the GBC. I find annoying when a carrier its needed.. and that happens with the Office Depot laminator, so I tried the GBC one as it was the only option left here in town. GBC besides that its more expensive didnt work well, only the left side of it actually heated and it was a pain so I returned it. I had the opportunity to buy this one (Scotch PRO one) when I knew I was visiting USA. The laminator works amazing! Super easy to use.. you choose between which type of pouch you are going to use (3mm or 5mm) by simply pressing a button, and after a while a "ready" word highlights when the laminator its all warmed up ready to use. Thats it!! And no carrier its needed! What is the only thing I didnt liked? apart that its a bit noisy.. that you cant use like a bit of the pouch.. if you need to laminate a small picture (for example) you need to buy small pouches.. or use a big one and trash the unused laminated bits, you cannot just cut the pouch and laminate it and save the rest for future use like other brands let you use it. why? well the manual says that it can get stucked. Apart from that.. I am super happy with it. I just laminated a whole calendar (months and numbers) and they look super neat and amazing! One of the thousand things about the negative reviews that I dont agree: GBC 5mm laminating pouches work better than scotch ones... they come out with less "bumpy" or "unlaminated" edges. But both work well and do the job. I recommend it lots.

Oh a laminator that laminates. Used for classroom purposes. Won't laminate posters but if you look at the size you could have figured that out, no problem.

Bought this 2 years ago for the office. The heating element JUST went out. We use it for hundreds of signs so it got a lot of use!

This is a great laminator. The only complaint I have is it squeaks and is loud.

I've been in childcare and teaching for 15 years, been laminating things forever. I was skeptical on this, but for the upcoming school year I'm homeschooling and needed something STAT. Of course Amazon delivers. So I've now made a memory game and some little animal icons for my 2yo. No precutting. Super fast and simple setup to use. Heat up time takes a couple minutes. Quality is exceptional. I bought 3 MIL Letter size pack and I couldn't be happier with the price, quality, quickness and efficiency. 100/10 recommend.

I've used a few different types of laminators, and this one is hands down my favorite. I've only had it crinkle up a sheet one time out of the hundreds of sheets I've laminated, and that was only because I put it in really strangely. For reference, with other laminators I would have to be so careful about lining it up perfectly and making sure it went in at a 90 degree angle. You don't have to worry as much about that with this one, it can tolerate quite a bit of user error. It's also fairly quiet, although it has a moment of making some noise when heating up, and then after heating up if I don't put in the next sheet right after, but even with those noises it's quieter than other laminators I've used. When I laminate, I often cut up small pieces of paper to have them laminate separately (like for making paper dolls), and as long as I use the right kind of laminating sheet (i.e. one with enough static electricity to hold the laminating sheet closed) the tray works great for that. My biggest issue now is that I have bad laminating sheets, so loading it from the top can mean the pieces start to fall.

Arrived without a plug attachment. Useless. Nothing in the box or explaining how to get one. The wire end doesn't look like anything from us or europe

When it arrived it could only be used in America, so had to send straight back! Very frustrating and time consuming.

Works great! I forgot that it takes a bit of time to heat one of these up. Also, needed to adjust the Loading Tray until it clicked into position. The only thing at fault was me. It doesn't take up much desk space, seals quickly and comes out cooler than expected. Good stuff!
