What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“My wife teaches and needs to laminate everything, she has been using a 15 year old laminator that takes quite a while to heat up. This one has been a revelation, no longer to I have to stand and help her laminate for hours on end, it's quick to heat up and laminates at a good speed.”
