Review on UALAU 9 Inch Hot & Cold Laminator Machine with Pouches, Paper Trimmer, Corner Rounder - Ideal for Home, Office, and School Use by Shaun Helm

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Most Disappointing Best of Office Electronics

It seemed like a great idea, especially to save space, but it just didn't work. For this price I expected a lot more. It did a great job of laminating plain paper into 3 mil pockets, but it had to be passed through cardboard a few times to get a solid print. It was awful sealing 5 mile bags, even with regular paper and not cardboard, leaving large exposed edges next to the paper. The only positive thing is that I didn't notice any bubbles or wrinkles. The paper cutter did a terrible job (like a dull blade?) and the corner punch struggled with anything but a single sheet of plain paper. and even then sometimes the fluff came out. I decided to return it and am now looking for another laminator that works better with card stock and 5 mile bags. I noticed that some laminators have different buttons for 3 and 5 mil pouches, so maybe this machine just wasn't warm enough? I do not know. but overall I really don't recommend it. There's no point in buying something like this if even the basic paper cutter doesn't work well. And if you plan to primarily laminate 5 mil, you should definitely look elsewhere.

Pros
  • Office Electronics
Cons
  • Available in White Only
