Good Product for Teachers
This product is easier to use than others I have tried. The opening is larger to prevent materials from going sideways and getting bent. The quality of lamination is very good. Materials are sealed, clear and flat. The directions are easy to follow and the machine heats up quickly. I'm a teacher and I plan to use this laminator frequently.

Jams
It does not feed through and jams every time regardless of the angle we are holding the paper.

Great, but unable to unjam
I attempted to laminate smaller pieces of paper within the lamination sheet. I put it through twice, and it seemed to eat the entire sheet. I've tried to unjam it with no luck. I can see the edge of the sheet but cannot access it to pull it out. I tried to unscrew the bottom and cannot do that either. Any advice would be great, thanks!

Sleek Look and Heats Up Quickly
The only tricky thing is the button. After turning it on, you have to remember to switch it from Cold to 3 mil/5 mil for a heated lamination. The button message is delayed too, so while impatient, you keep pushing the button until you get to the mode you need.

Love This Product So Much!
This laminator is so easy to use, basically just plug in, no setup required. It heats up so fast within 1 minute and it's ready to go so fast. I love the auto shut-off feature too. I would highly recommend this product if you are in the market for a great and easy-to-use laminator.

Awesome Laminator
I have used many laminators for many things. This laminator is by far the best I have used. It heated up so quickly. I usually have to wait 3 to five minutes for my other one. I really appreciate the quick time so I can use it right when I need it without waiting. It laminated my item perfectly. It was so clear, and there were no bubbles. the large size is going to work...

Best Laminator!
The Halo 125 laminator is excellent for classroom use! It heats up quickly and does a beautiful job of laminating materials. The auto shut-off feature is an especially nice safety feature so this could be used in a classroom. I received this product free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

Love this Laminator!
This laminator changes how I work! Until this laminator, I laminated in bundles because of the time it took the laminator to heat up, the occasional difficulty opening pouches and the effort required getting the pouch to load with the right alignment. The Halo 125 is easy to use. The button to change mils is very sensitive to touch. The Fellowes pouches in the starter p...

Great Home Purchase for Teachers
This laminator is efficient, heats quickly, and is very easy to use. I wish they had one with the same abilities in a size wide enough to laminate half-sheet newspaper pages. I will recommend this product to coworkers and friends. I received this product free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

Great Laminator
The Halo 125 Laminator has a lot of quality features that many cheaper laminators do not possess. I love the InstaHeat Technology which allowed me to start laminating within a few minutes. As a teacher, I laminate a lot of items for my classroom so I appreciated the addition of the Jam Release Button just in case something were to get stuck. One of my favorite features ...

Halo 125- Excellent Laminator
Recently I used the Fellowes Halo 125 Laminator to laminate quite a few pages I had planned to post around my classroom. After reading and following the instructions, I turned on the laminator, which I immediately changed to the 3mil setting to work on and complete my task. I was impressed by the warm-up time frame at this setting- only 1 minute! My other laminator take...

Great Laminator
I love that this laminator leaves a small footprint because I do not have a lot of room to spare. It heated up very fast, ready to go in one minute. No wrinkles. Very happy it had the quick release lever because the electricity shut off in the middle of a job and used the lever to extract my paper because I wasn't sure what would happen when the electricity came back on...

Great For the Classroom!
Great, sturdy piece of equipment. Compact, like the direct in and out Heats up much quicker than any other personal laminator. The auto-shutoff is a real asset, as I'm certain to get called away from laminating. I received this product free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

Awesome laminator
I love this laminator. It is so smooth in use and crisp lamination comes out. Yes it comes out slow but I would rather that it does so I can have an excellent copy to use and see. I love this machine. I’m a first time user but it is helpful to me. I’m doing some of my summer work by laminating things before the new school year. It is also ready in a minute. All you have...

Great for Teachers
I laminate many visuals in my class on a regular basis. It was quick and easy to laminate the images I had printed on cardstock. I watched the time and inserted the laminating pouch after just one minute and it worked! I like the anti-jam and auto-shutoff features although I haven't used them yet. The unit looks nice with a smooth surface that will be easy to keep clean...

Great laminator
The Halo 125 is a great laminator. The heat time is much faster than our previous laminator. It laminates without wrinkles or bubbles and seals tightly so that you can trim close without the lamination separating. There is a jam release feature that hasn't been used since it hasn't jammed. There is a wire support in the back and an automatic shutoff. It laminates wider ...
