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

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

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

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
