I am happy to report that this laminator has lived up to my expectations. I have laminated my child's artwork, photos and heavy cardstock for flash cards. I am thrilled with the performance of this laminator. It takes about 3 minutes to heat up. It sounds long but it takes me about that amount of time (maybe more) to lay out everything I want to laminate and put them in their pouches. A green light will light up to let you know the laminator is ready. I have experienced absolutely no wait time between laminates. I have laminated up to 14 pouches in a row with no issues whatsoever. It takes about 45-60 seconds to laminate an 8"x11" pouch. There is a cold laminate option which I haven't used and don't think I really will need to use at all. The only thing I wish this had was some sort of guide for the pouch so that it would be fed in perfectly each time. There had been a few times where I fed in the pouch slightly crooked and made me nervous that it would come out warped but it has not happened at all.
All in all, I'm super happy with this purchase.
I did have an issue that was mentioned by others, when laminating more than a few pages at a time (or if you leave it on longer than a few pages worth of lamination time) it does heat up too much and will wrinkle your page as it jams up. I caught this early, turned the unit off let it cool down and re-ran the page. It smoothed it out pretty well, but now I know not to let the machine overheat. I follow a 20 minuet rule now, which seems to work well for me, after being on for 20 I turn it off for about 20 before heating it up again.
Other than that, it's great for small laminating jobs. Well worth the price!
I really wanted to love this laminator. I bought it August 2015 and used it often as I am a teacher and was preparing for another year of school. It worked fine when I first used it. I didn't use it consistently as I had a boatload of laminating in the beginning of the year and less as the school year went on. I pulled it back out when I found more things to laminate in the dead of winter, and again, worked well. Occasionally I'd get some bent corners, but nothing terrible. However, when I brought it out today to try, it laminated a few pages great, and then the third page jammed it up. In fact the page is currently inside the turned-off machine because I can't get it out. It was a bummer as I bought it mega-on sale and will probably never see that price again. I know you get what you pay for, but I feel like I didn't even get that much use out of it. Disappointing!

It has both cold laminating and hot laminating (not warm, but hot). Easy set up (just plug it in and turn it on), easy to operate and super quiet. It also comes 4 or 5 pouches.
Very pleased with this purchase. I’d definitely recommend this.
