Jams
Our office has been through 2 of this machine. The first one jammed the 1st day. The second one jammed within a few months. There is not a way to open this machine to service jams. There is a "reverse" button, but that does not work when the heating element is stuck to the laminating pouch. We are a small office and only use the laminator once a week or so...and we only...

We have used this laminator in the ED for a approx 2 months. It is wonderful. You turn it on, it heats up fast, and the end result looks beautiful.

a lamination mule
my first big laminator and now use it to run the objects back thru to take the sharp edges away when cutting the obits apart and putting on rounded corners.

Venus 125 Laminator
Positives: Very good-looking laminator. White and silver in color and very clean looking. Super-fast warm-up time. Lamination speed is very fast. Negatives or opportunities for improvement: It would be nice to have the icons printed on the laminator; there's just a black background and it's difficult to see the power button. Would also be nice to have a slightly larger ...

Better Quality projects
I have three different Fellowes laminators, but this one is my absolute favorite. I can laminate all of my projects quickly and efficiently, and I've received compliments on all of them. I'm not a professional at this, but it appears to be an expensive type of work. I highly recommend it; it will make your projects so much easier.

Just recvd the Fellowes Venus 2 125 Thermal & Cold laminator. Have used it a handful of times. Very pleased with this product. The warm up time is quick and the pouches flow through the rollers smoothly. Would recommend this product.

Replacement for the Voyager 125
I recently purchased the Venus2 125 to replace the voyager 125 I have had for many years. The new machine heats up quickly and laminates wonderfully. Too soon to tell about the reliability but if it is a tough as the Voyager I will have no complaints. Great machine so far.

All in all very good
Just wish I had bought it sooner. Much faster than less expensive models, and you can run up to 10 mil through it. Automatic thickness detection. Sometimes it slows down a bit, probably to heat up again, but still faster than the other models we have had. Up to 11" x 17" sheets.

Best Laminator
I purchased the Venusâ„¢2 125 Laminator 2 weeks ago and have used it non-stop with no issues. I've used different pouch thicknesses' with no jams or issues. I like that there is minimal wait time for warm-up and processing. Best desktop laminator I've used in a long time.

Staff love how fast it heats up!
We upgraded due to our 6+ year old Fellowes laminator was making a horrible noise. I decided to pay a little more to get a faster heating cycle and am so happy I did! Easy to use, fast to heat up - I couldn't ask for more. Staff have thanked me again and again!

Laminator Venus
Coming from an old laminator to this one, the change was dramatic. We went from Shoddy work to a beautiful page laminated. The Heat up time was very fast. The cool down time was appropriate. I am not sure about long levity or the quality of using it daily, but we will keep a watch.

EXCELLENT LAMINATOR
Needed a laminator for awhile, however didn't see the need, however the Pandemic changed my mind. Love this unit, no longer have to ask another Co. to laminate for me. Fantastic price point.

Fellowes Laminator
Just received it and used it only twice. Heats very quickly, laminates very well, takes up very little space.

Superb laminator
It's an ideal laminator and you probably don't want to go back to another one. Once you use them, you'll see the difference with common, cheap laminators. It's fast and with a really good result. I like the design of the Proteus most, but this one looks nice too. Absolutely recommendable.
