Scotch TL901X Thermal Laminator, 1 Laminating Machine, Gray, Laminate School Assignments and Documents, for Dorm Room or School Supplies, 9 in.

Love it. Easy to use and doesn’t get too hot, but still want to use caution around kids.It doesn’t get jammed very often, only if something is an odd shape or a bit thick do you want to make sure you stay with the project until it’s fully laminated.Item you laminate can be hot so be careful when removing. Item you laminate can bend slightly with the heat as it’s coming out, but if you just leave it flat on a surface with something heavy on top of it, it will flatten out one cooled.Doesn’t take too long to laminate an item once the machine is on. Honestly the longest wait is waiting for the machine to be ready.I haven’t had too many issues with bubbles. It depends on how thick your item is and if it has any odd angles or sides. Like say a perfectly square flat paper vs an item that has more edges to it, like say a paper shaped like a crab 🦀 . All those edges might create more air pockets.You can send the item back through the machine to be pressed again if you have too, and I find that if you take a credit card and gently and slowly press out the bubbles, it seems to work.

It heats up quickly and is easy to move from one workspace to the next. It seals and laminates very well. It has guides to help you line up the paper, but even when I messed up it was easy to remove the sheet with the release button. It is compact and will fit on a desk or coffee table, out of the way.I had hundreds of thick cardstock to laminate and it did it with no problems other than user error.

This Scotch TL901X thermal laminator has been perfect for home use, handling everything from important documents to kids' school projects with consistent, professional-looking results. The 9-inch width accommodates standard letter-size documents easily, and the machine heats up quickly without the long wait times I've experienced with cheaper laminators. I appreciate how smoothly it feeds documents through without jamming or creating air bubbles, and the finished lamination has even heat distribution with no wrinkled or poorly sealed edges. The compact size fits nicely on my desk without taking up too much space, and it's quiet enough to use without disturbing others in the room. While it's more expensive than basic laminators, the reliable performance and consistent quality make it worth the investment for anyone who regularly laminates documents, crafts, or educational materials - it's definitely built to last and handles frequent use without issues.

Great for my classroom. I wish I would have bought one sooner. Perfect size easy to carry and store. Does a great job sealing.

I love the quality of this product as well as the 2 different laminating settings. It is easy to store and it laminates anything you want to laminate.

I have had this laminator for 4 years, bought in Dec. 2020. It has crinkled papers but it has a release which makes it easier to remove them and pull them out. It went through phases when it would crinkle the corners but I never knew how it would act as it got older. This could be from me transporting it from home to school. I had been dropped and the bottom broke apart from the screws and it still worked. There were pieces broken in it that rattled and it still worked. It worked for 4 years, again I wish it would have lasted longer. I prefer this one over my other amazon basics one that does the same thing but does not have a release latch. I undecided if I will purchase this one again or a new one, but I am leaning towards this one.

I debated on getting a knock off brand for cheaper but I am so glad I didn’t. This 3M laminator works great for the project I needed it for and additional projects I came up with. I don’t think you could go wrong with 3M brand products. They always are packed well and show up with no damage. No regrets.

For the price, this works flgreat! It's very durable. It heats up in just seconds. The laminator and the sheets are very easy to use. There is an edge on the laminator that works as a guide. The thickness of the sheet is thick, but not too thick. It's a good size. I have used it many times to laminate my recipes. I have accidentally dropped water, oil, on them and very easy to wipe off. I have not had an issue with them wrinkling after it being laminated. This particular model does not have a cutter. I did have to experience having to trim after laminating, and I must say I was surprised that even I after I cut the sheet, there was no lifting or peeling. Definitely recommend.
