Review on πŸ”’ Fellowes 5736606 Saturn3i 125 Laminator: Fast 1 Minute Warm-Up, 12.5 inch, with Laminating Pouches Kit, Silver/Black by Robert Hunter

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Tried photo size (4x6) packs which gave the best results. I didn't expect perfection

The purpose of this laminator was to laminate several sheets of cardstock, paper and cards for some of my board games. Here are my results: 4/20/18 - Today I received a Revain laminator in a damaged box with almost no packaging. (Pictures below) This is from Revain, not Fellowes. As for the product, it doesn't work as advertised. My results have been very poor, with strong curls, waves and crimps (even after multiple passes). I tried to do the following: 1. Try to laminate the objects according to the instructions (flat surface, 20" space behind the machine). 2. Put it on a flat surface (floor) with books to keep the sheet stable throughout the process. a few different parts to see if that makes a difference. 4. Multiple runs on the same sheets. 5. Tried photo size (4x6) packs which gave the best results. the machine didn't make 5 million. I didn't expect perfection, but for $100 I'd rather go to a copy center in a big store. I was hoping for mediocre results as the items I will be using will be in use. for many years but I haven't even had the chance to test them as the first 10 test samples were very bad. a few more sheets of cardstock, in sheets 3 mil thick, heated 3 mil. The first 2 products came out pretty decent. Then I noticed that the leaves were starting to sag 3/4 of the way. rough process. The machine left large streaks on the sides of my items and one of the rollers was clearly defective. I will be returning this item as it cannot be stored for more than 24 hours.
