Review on ๐Ÿ–จ๏ธ GBC Ultima 3000052EZ Thermal Laminating Machine by Loren Jacobson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

An amazing laminator that is easy to use and laminates quickly and efficiently.

I have no complaints about this laminator and I have quite a few. It's a workhorse that delivers quality and consistent lamination with ease. This is my second, my first had to be replaced and it had nothing to do with the device itself. It was operator error (my fault) and it stopped working. My second system has now been running continuously for four years. I mainly use 3mm and 5mm laminating film. I've found that the rollers squeak a lot when using 1.7mm, it just seems like it's putting a heavy load on the laminator. I've done hundreds if not thousands of laminations with no problems. Inserting the laminating film is very easy. If you run out of laminating pouch, simply stop the laminator, let it cool, then switch rolls and continue laminating. It's much faster than a stack laminator. If you have a pouch laminator, you will never use it again if you buy this machine. I will never use a laminator again. Yes, you have to cut the pages with this type of laminator, but it's worth it in terms of simplicity, accuracy, quality, and speed.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
