Scotch PRO Thermal Laminator, 2 Roller System (TL906)

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!

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!

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

This machine works great for laminating documents and stuff. When you turn the machine on, it takes about 5 minutes to heat up before the Ready light turns on and you can use it. You place whatever you're laminating between the two plastic sheets, flatten as much as you can to get any air bubbles out, put the SEALED end of the sheet into the machine, and it'll automatically pull it in and laminate it. Couldn't be easier. I did maybe 15 documents and they all came out perfectly with no issues. The largest hassle is just getting the laminate sheet to separate to put the item you're laminating in it. The only thing that is kind of frustrating other than that is if you turn the machine off, even for a split second (I mean immediately off and back on), and realize you need to laminate something else, you have to wait the entire 5 minutes or so for it to heat back up even though it's still probably hot enough to do it. Guess there's no sensor to detect the temperature to tell it it's ready. Must just be a timed thing. I do also wish the cord was longer. It's not very long. Probably around 3ft if I had to guess? So if you're needing to put it far away from an outlet, you may need an extension cord or something. Can't really tell until you get it. Other than that, I'd definitely recommend this machine if you're needing to laminate things.
