Review on Versatile 5-in-1 A4 Laminator Thermal Laminating Machine with Trimmer, Corner Rounder, Bonus 20 πŸ“Έ Laminating Pouches, Photo Frames | Ideal for Home, Office, School & Posters | Elegant White Design by Derek Cage

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Ideal for occasional home office users

This product works well. This item comes with some nice extras and some lamination packs (you'll need more if you don't plan on using it just once). The test page I laminated was standard office paper (8.5 x 11) since I live in the US. I was concerned it wouldn't fit as A4 is mentioned, but the slot is a full 9 inches wide and the paper fits in nicely. If you put it VERY carefully in the included pouch, it will fit in there as well (see my botanical magic in decklists for collecting). I would recommend buying wider laminating pouches for standard size paper in the states (just make sure they are 9 inches wide or less). The laminated side came out wrinkle-free, felt comfortable, and was durable. I was happy with that. There are a few things that hold it back from being 5 star (although for the price I think this machine is worth it). I think instructions for addons would be nice, although it's not necessary as it's pretty easy to figure out if you play around with the parts a bit. The most important thing for me was that the paper cutter didn't work at all and I ended up actually removing the sliding cutting blade to find that mine came without a blade (the body was there, it slides along). Trace is ok but won't cut as there is no blade). I'm sure it's just an accidental and random build oversight on my specific device, but I should have noted it here. I will update this review when this issue is resolved. All in all a good device that meets my expectations at a reasonable price.

Pros
  • 2021 Jam Free Update: Press the ABS button to release jammed paper. The ABS button effectively eliminates paper jam problems. The new second generation machine makes the laminating pouches smoother without foaming.
Cons
  • Difficult to say
