Broke within 3 weeks
We bought the product on 7/11 and on 8/9 the machine decided to eat our project. Nothing special about the project - same things we laminate every other day. We are a low volume user but when we need it we have to be able to count on it.

Perfect for us
I make up a lot of signs. This laminator is the perfect size for our church. It's inexpensive and the sleeves are reasonable priced too.

So happy I bought this!
I've been using "self laminating" sheets for many projects over the years and decided that buying a laminator would be more economical in the long run. After some research I decided on this one because the reviews were good, the price was right and it came with 10 pouches to start. I am so thrilled with this laminator! I keep looking for things I can laminate just becau...

Sleek and Compact
Easy to for personal home use and looks beautiful in a home office. The only downside is that it gets very hot on the top.

Light Weight & Works!
Love this light weight machine because it travels easy to church where I volunteer with our young girls group. It is also a nice compact size. Even in the box it fits right into my tote bag. We laminated bookmarks this year and I'm sure we will do at least one craft project every year with this laminator.

Great Find on a Product
I purchased M.5 laminator because I am a teacher and small business person. I was impressed by how easy it worked and how quickly it went through the heating mechanism. I was unable to observe any marks such as bubbling and so far, I am highly impressed. It adds to the saying, "best things come in small packages."

Fellowes M5 (95) Laminator
To start the item is compact, heats up quickly and produces nicely laminated documents, photo's, or cards. I use it for protecting my language training 3x5 index cards. Hole pages are no problem either. It always produces what you put into it. A word of caution when purchasing this item, the laminator opening can only support so much so thickness is an issue. If you are...

OUTSTANDING AND EASY TO USE!
I had purchased this item for crafts and had it sitting around for quite a while before I finally used it. I just thought that it would be a pain in the tush to have to read the instructions, etc. When I finally got around to doing it, I was shocked that the instructions were so easy to understand and the laminating machine was so easy to use!

The solution I needed
After years of fighting with school laminators as a teacher and getting inconsistent results, I decided to buy a personal laminator and use that instead. This model works great and is compact to store as well.

Should have bought one sooner
This laminator is the easiest to use and doesn't take up very much space at all.
