I am using the laminator for prepping materials for summer camp.- heats up quickly (but give it a couple more minutes to warm up well so the laminator pouch sticks better together or bubbles can be created)- the machine itself is light and easy to carry around- comes with nice accessories, like curving tool for the corners, a small paper cutter, and a hole puncher.- the laminator is wide for projects that might be wider than the standard A4 width.

After only using it maybe a dozen times it caught fire shortly after turning on to warm up. Location is opposite end of plug and switch. Can see inside the wires heated and burned the plastic case. Burned by finger because i grabed it at just the spot where it was melting the plastic. Not safe.

I've had this for 2+ years and it is simple and works great. It has laminated countless pages without issues. I purchased this model to be able to laminate 11"x17", and it does that well.

The machine heats up but the mechanism to move the sheet through the machine does not work

This is my first laminator, so hard to compare, but happy with the purchase. It heats up faster than I was expecting, comes with a variety of pouch sizes to get you started and is simple to use.Only downside is the cutter is not great. But TBH at this price point I wasn't really expecting it to be and knew I might need a separate one anyway.n One star off for that, otherwise great.

This is my 1st laminator, so I didn't really know what to expect, as I've never laminated anything before either. It turned out to be quite simple. Just switched the button to "Hot", then a green light started blinking. Once the green light turned solid, I started laminating. I had a few dozen business cards and some certificates which I wanted laminated. I put a business card in a pouch (I used Apache Laminating Pouches, 5 mil, Business Card Size) , centered it, then inserted the closed end into the front of the machine. After about 10 seconds, the laminated card came out of the back of the machine. Then I just repeated the process, until I was finished. When I was done, I ran a sheet of copy paper through the unit to possibly clean any glue that may have gotten on the rollers. Overall, the unit ran perfectly. Super clear and no bubbles in the plastic whatsoever. I'm very pleased with this machine so far.I chose this Crenova laminator mostly because I wanted 13" and didn't want one with a paper cutter attached to the top of the machine. I figured if I needed a good paper cutter, I'd rather get one separately. The paper cutter which came with this works OK, but it's really not meant for heavy usage. You can only cut one thing at a time. It will cut through 5 mil laminate nicely, but if I had a lot of stuff to cut, then I'd probably want to use a guillotine-style paper cutter. Max size for this paper cutter is just 12" also, which is fine for my purposes. The corner rounder works OK too. It cuts through the 5 mil laminate cleanly. Another selling point was that this machine came with 25 pouches also (size: 5 A3, 5 A4, 5 A5, and 10 A6). So that saved me from buying more pouches, other than the business card-sized pouches which I needed.

This laminator works great! Easy to use, comes with extra laminating pouches, paper cutter and corner rounder. I think there have been bad reviews about the corner rounder not working. I thought it didn't work either the first try, but realized you have to put the paper in at an angle downward where the metal dips down and it cuts perfectly. The laminator did have a smell when I first use to heat up, but I think that is to be expected. I'm sure that will dissipate with use. I was in debate about getting the 13" or a 9". The majority of what I will be laminating will be 8.5x11 or smaller. I think most of the issues people have with paper jamming or getting crinkled is because there is only a 1/4" wiggle room on each end of the 9" laminator when you are laminating an 8.5x11 sheet. You have to put it in almost exactly straight and if not, it catches the sides and starts to damage your lamination. With the 13" I have plenty of wiggle room in case I don't get things in exactly straight and don't expect any issues.
