The machine was much quieter than expected and laminated at a decent speed, not as fast as I would

I must say that I was really impressed by how well this works (great value for the price)

Could not recommend as it is clearly not durable.

This was a great value and really did a great job for a large project I was working on.

I laminated 90 items with the thicker 5mil pouches as fast as they could feed through the machine without a single problem.

So the small size is great when you're storing the device, but doesn't necessarily add a lot if it's out and in use

I used to have the purple cow laminator which broke (I think it was my fault it broke), and this swingline one laminates VERY slowly compared to the purple cow one

It is a great size to make it easy to put away if you don't want to leave it out all the time for space reasons.

Perfect size for simple projects and very simple to use.

The size makes it easy to store away until my next project

I always need to laminate things for my business and was paying outrageous prices at the big office stores in my city

This was a great price and is proving to be good quality

I got this for a very great price and it works just fine!!

I couldn't afford the regular price with my little budget, but when it went on sale, I didn't give it a second thought

Great price on the Swingline as the item of the day on Amazon.

Laminator is very light and is easy to use, works perfect for my sister who is homeschooling her daughter!

Affordable, works great, easy to use, and small to store in craft room.

Cold press and hot work perfectly, quickly and quietly

Love this laminator and makes my sons school work so easy to laminate and hang or so he can use to him practice his letters

I have not use it a whole lot but it was very easy to use and has worked great so far.

It's no-frills, warms up in 4 minutes and does a great job at laminating.

It did a great job of laminating the objects I tried

Now, I'm outside the time limits for buying a new one and my husband recently lost his job, so this is not a luxury I can spend money on again.

No problems, nice job, easy to use

This does a great job is simple to use, and comes at a great price.

I didn't know I had to stand above the ready light to see it was on

Wait for the green light to indicate ready, line up the sheet and feed through the machine

After 20 minutes of waiting for it to warm up, the green ready light never came on, but still used and it worked great.

The green ready light however is very hard to see.

I used to have the purple cow laminator which broke (I think it was my fault it broke), and this swingline one laminates VERY slowly compared to the purple cow one

So I have been needing a laminator for quite awhile, but could not afford a high quality one like I wanted

Could not recommend as it is clearly not durable.

product was very easy to use and provided good quality lamination

This was a great price and is proving to be good quality

The product broke after using it a less than a handful of times

Very excellent product easy to use and on a budget friendly

It also ruined something dear to me; I suppose I should have done a test run and broken the product with a test

Honestly the final product was just as good if not better as what I would have gotten from a store

I absolutely love this product and use it for everything now.

Well two weeks ago I was laminating items for my bulletin board and the laminator ate what I was laminating to the point where I can't release the item

Love how great this item is, the price is perfect for what I needed it for.

You cannot really use this with anything other than 12 inches in width or it will jam and ruin your item

It takes a little to warm up the machine so be patient.

For an office that only occasionally laminates, this is a great little machine

Yesterday, the laminate paper jammed & the machine would not release.

I found out there is no way to release a jam and the machine is rendered useless after that!!!

Granted, it's not a very expensive machine, but I should not have to replace it every time I laminate two dozen pieces of paper

This thing works perfectly, and creates a clean smooth laminated piece when done

If I can think of a good thing to say it might be that it didn't burst in to flames.

I used to have the purple cow laminator which broke (I think it was my fault it broke), and this swingline one laminates VERY slowly compared to the purple cow one

This thing did such a wonderful job that I cannot even say enough good things about it!

I purchased separately other size sleeves and every thing I've laminated has come out great.

Just the convenience of being able to laminate things at home makes it a nice purchase.

Longevity is yet to be seen as it is still a new purchase but love it so far!!!

The machine was much quieter than expected and laminated at a decent speed, not as fast as I would

and I have to say is equivalent to much more expensive versions I have previously purchased!

This is the single worst product I have ever purchased

The paper gives the heated(softened) plastic the rigidity it needs to not crinkle and jam

Does have a plastic burning smell, but it hasn't knocked me unconscious yet.

The only issue with it is that the laminator is made from cheap plastic and had a burnt plastic smell the first time it was used, but other than that I would highly recommend this for the price.

Now that her work has matured into a semi Jackson pollackesque phase, with "scribbling and bibbling" galore, it becomes all the more important to contain the genius for posterity.it is easy to use, just put a page into a sleeve and allow the laminator to slowly consume the p age wrapping the work in a plastic cocoon

Potty chart that you can write on with dry erase markers?

I used to have the purple cow laminator which broke (I think it was my fault it broke), and this swingline one laminates VERY slowly compared to the purple cow one

and I've been using this a lot for their worksheets so they can use a dry erase marker on them.

I am also in the process of laminating worksheets for my son to use dry erase markers on to help him continue to learn concepts when he is on break from pre-school and to work on after-school.

They work well but it does have a humming noise when I leave it on without running through the next sheet immediately

After the second time of using the laminator, it started making a weird knocking or clicking noise once it got hot

I used to have the purple cow laminator which broke (I think it was my fault it broke), and this swingline one laminates VERY slowly compared to the purple cow one

but the noise is a bit concerning since it's only used once in awhile.

It smelt weird, made weird noises and when the page came out, the top would be bent in
