Scotch Thermal Laminator, 2 Roller System for a Professional Finish, Use for Home, Office or School, Suitable for use with Photos (TL901X)

I bought this Scotch Thermal Laminator hoping to laminate some of our recruiting material to hand out on the street corners to the disaffected youth of my assigned city for my two year committment. I belived the Scotch Thermal Laminator would lend some credibility to our youth movement. I also believed that despite being made fun of and tormented by the youth, they would realize that we take our beliefs seriously and took the time to laminate our literature. Since we normally travel in pairs, we always want to present the same professional image and therfore wear ties. Heres a hint - ties and lamination machines do not mix. The lighting is subpar in our temple so I had to lean over the Scotch Thermal Laminator to ensure it was hot enought to use. It was! When I leaned over, my tie was accidentally fed into the insertion slot and pulled me into it! Im natuarally a panicky soul, at least according to the Father, and I didnt know what to do. My tie was being fed into the machine and my face was getting closer. In fact, I could smell my first beard attempt starting to singe! Thankfully Jebidiaha saw what was happening and simply unplugged the Scotch Thermal Laminator. Sadly, our bikes were stolen from out front while this was happening, but at least we got our brochures laminated and distributed even if it was on foot. I would buy this again. In fact I WILL repurchase this same Scotch Thermal Laminator model once our headquarters wires us our monthly stipend. My only real complaint is that the machine doesnt have a reverse button. :)

I always wanted to purchase my own laminator!! This is by far the best investment I can make!!

I use this for the office I work at!

This laminator was a great value for the money. It works exactly as intended and I have had no issues with it so far.

This is just the right size for laminating paper items used for various classroom activities and smaller desk top anchor charts!

After several years of frequent use, my original Scotch laminator bit the dust. I definitely got my moneys use of it! Im not a fan of this new model at all. I never worried about my pages not being lined up exactly when they went through the machine. The tray made sure they went through perfectly. Although the new model is sleek and slim, I have messed up a few pages because they were not lined up perfectly with the grooves. The laminating quality is still great, but its just not as easy to use. Bring the tray back, Scotch, please!

Well worth the cost (which is reasonable)! It’s perfect for what I needed it for. I laminate call cards for my softball team.

Im used to the big roll machines and worried that I wouldnt like this in comparison, but its nice. Its slower than the big laminators but more precise because you can lay out your pieces between the sheets before you seal it. Perfect for teacher stuff at home.

Easy to use and durable

Works great but if you have a big project you will have to break it up and do it in small batches. Machine gets really got and starts to have issues after an couple hours of use. Otherwise heats up quickly and works great.
