Laminator Machine 13 Inch Wide Thermal Lamination 9 in 1 Cold Hot A3 Laminating Machine for Teacher Personal, 60s Warm-Up No Jam laminator Machine 11x17 with 30 Laminating Sheets for Home Office Use

Like many Chinese-made products, the instructions left a lot to be desired, and the overall engineering felt a bit basic. That said, this laminator is straightforward enough to figure out without much hassle. It feels reasonably sturdy for its price point and worked perfectly right out of the box. The included paper cutter is excellent for single-sheet use—it’s sharp and precise. However, the corner rounder was a bit of a letdown. It barely softens the corners, and it feels like a missed opportunity in the design. With just a slight tweak in engineering, it could have easily offered multiple corner angles for more versatility.On the plus side, the compact footprint is great—it’s barely larger than a loaf of bread, making it easy to store or leave out without taking up much space. I do wish the power cord were a foot or two longer, but that’s a minor and very subjective gripe.The laminator arrived securely packaged and was incredibly easy to set up. Once I reviewed the instructions (which, surprisingly, were clearer than expected), I laminated my first item using one of the included pouches. The result? A perfectly smooth, professional-looking sheet. The rollers moved the pouch through evenly, with no bubbles or jams.One feature I absolutely love is the flip-top storage compartment—it neatly holds the paper trimmer, corner rounder, binding rings, and hole punch. The design is sleek, modern, and the purple color adds a fun pop that stands out from the usual office greys and blacks.Now, here’s the honest truth: I used to roll my eyes at people who owned personal laminators. I figured, why bother when I could just use the school’s machine once a month? But now that I have one of my own, I find myself laminating everything. As a social worker, this has been a game-changer. I can quickly preserve strategy cards and worksheets that I create with the kids, making our sessions more interactive and long-lasting.Setup is a breeze, and the warm-up time is under three minutes. The controls are intuitive, even if you've never used a laminator before. I’ve tried both hot and cold lamination modes, and both worked flawlessly.In short, this is a fantastic laminator for home or small office use—reliable, compact, and surprisingly fun to use. I highly recommend it.

As a mom of two, I’m always looking for ways to stay organized, preserve memories, and make learning fun for my kids—and this laminator has quickly become one of my favorite tools for all of that and more!First of all, the 60-second warm-up is a lifesaver. When I’m juggling school lunches, last-minute permission slips, and a toddler clinging to my leg, I don’t have time to wait forever for a machine to heat up. This one is ready to go almost instantly, which means I can laminate chore charts, flashcards, or school artwork in minutes.One feature I didn’t know I needed until I had it? The built-in paper cutter and corner rounder. I use them constantly—especially for making reusable activity sheets or meal planners that I can stick on the fridge. I’ve even laminated our monthly calendar so the kids can mark off events with dry-erase markers.I also love that it handles multiple paper sizes. From tiny photo keepsakes to full-sized school projects, everything gets that professional, glossy finish with zero wrinkles or bubbles. And if anything ever starts to jam (which hasn’t happened often), there’s a simple ABS button to release it—no panic, no mess.Whether I’m preserving our favorite family recipes or turning my preschooler’s drawings into keepsakes, this laminator makes me feel like a supermom with a mini craft station right in my kitchen. Highly recommend for any busy household!

Heats up quickly and I have not had any issues like I have with my last one. It is very easy to use and does it's job great!!! You won't regret it. Plus the color is adorable.

Worked great when it arrived. After 2 months it was a making a noise and it started to smoke. Looked inside and there was a what looked like melted cardboard. Tried to get help and Amazon said try turning off and then on again. That did not help.

There is an added hole puncher, paper cutter attached. Easy to use and for storage. It also comes with some laminator paper.

I loved the fact that this 13 inch wide Laminator machine indicates when it is ready to start sealing. It seals well and quickly. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the sealing pouch got stuck, started smelling and I was unable to get it out. I am sure if you are careful this may not happen. It also came with a cutter, edger, and measured. Great price for a sturdy machine.

As with most Chinese products, the instructions are poor and the item under engineered. This product is simple enough to figure out, appears sturdy for the price, and worked well out of the box. The paper cutter included, is excellent for single sheet use, but the corner rounder, barely rounds out the corner. A simple engineering design would have allowed a wider amount of corner angles. Based on the lack of vents preventing good airflow, I would use this product for more then an hour without allowing the innard electronics to cool. It does have a small foot print, not much bigger than a loaf of bread. The electric cable should have been a foot or two longer. But that is a personal preference.

All I can say is where has this been all my life??? I always scoffed at people who had personal laminators, opting for the monthly laminating that happens on the school. Now that I have this, I laminate everything. As a social worker I am able to laminate all the strategy cards the kids and I make to help them persevere through their day.
