Piece of Junk - Avoid!
The first time I tried to use this, the rollers wouldn't 'catch' the lamination pouch. I fought with it, and my paper went crooked. Worse, when it finally 'caught,' it pulled the pouch through crooked too, meaning there were wrinkles in the resulting lamination and bent, melted edges. I sent it through again hoping it might sort out the edges at least, and the same thin...

At first, I was somewhat hesitant about purchasing it. After receiving it. I used it a couple of times it works great. I would highly recommend it.

Works very well so far
The scanner is good for taking with me to remote sites when I need to capture a pdf or jpeg image of single page documents. Not sure if it arrived with a working chargeable battery. The charge cable is difficult to fit into the scanner socket. Once the cord is plugged into the scanner and the other end plugged into my laptop, it's all flawless. But it does not seem to h...

awesome laminator
This laminator has been awesome so far! First things first, this laminator is very high quality! It is made with quality materials. It is also durable which I like! Getting it set up is really easy too. It takes no time to get it unboxed and warmed up! I really like that it only takes about 1 minute to warm up too! I don't have all day to wait for a machine to warm up, ...

Obsessed with this thing!
First of all let me start off by saying I had a device like this as a kid and I loved it! I used it all the time when I played school to laminate my flash cards for my “students”! Fast forward to my adult life, and I a equally as obsessed with laminating. There is something so satisfying with the process. This machine is great. It heats up fast, and the laminated items ...

Great home laminator
Although I have only started using this laminator I already love it! It came with simple enough instructions for me to get started right away. The machine itself is only about 12 inches long so it does not take up much space. You have the choice of 2 sizes of pouches, 3 mil or 5 mil. You also have the choice of cold pouch. The release button comes in handy to get the se...

Quick easy laminating
I got this about a month ago, I thought it would be nice to have with a toddler. It was so amazing after reading the instructions I started and completed my project in under an hour. I really appreciated the images for the instructions and the compact design of the laminator! The piece was a bit warm and as expected there was a slight smell from the laminating material ...

Kids Worksheets
The Fellowes Halo 95 laminator was extremely easy to use. Within minutes of pulling it out the box, I was able to laminate a worksheet for my kids. The machine has two options, 3 mil and 5 mil. I used the 3 mil setting to laminate a sheet and it worked with no issue. The machine didn't burn the laminating pouch and it ran through the machine smoothly. I would definitely...

The heating time was probably less than a minute and I was a laminating crazy lady!

I absolutely love everything about this laminator. It isn’t too big so storage is easy. The instructions are clear and concise. There isn’t any assembly other than putting the paper in the pouch. I especially love this because I was able to laminate a daily planner sheet that I normally print out. I can just re-use one sheet now by using whiteboard markers. I love savin...

Convenient home laminator
My main complaint with the Fellowes Halo 95 laminator is that I didn't purchase one sooner! The instructions were clear, it is compact and simple to use, and so much easier than going elsewhere when I need something laminated. It heats up quickly - in a minute, and has an automatic shut off in case you forget to turn it off when finished. It works with both 3mm and 5mm ...
