Scotch PRO TL906 Thermal, Laminator Machine, 1 Laminating Device, White/Blue, Laminate Recipe Cards, Photos, Documents, for Home, Office, or School Supplies, 9 in

Works great! I had this same one for many years and just replaced it as it randomly stopped working. Heats up fast and does a good job. Simple and easy to follow instructions and makes you want to laminate all the things!

I have to say, I was somewhat concerned by the one star/no star reviews, most of which dealt with the laminator not working. I purchased it nonetheless, and I am GLAD that I did! Worked right out of the box, everything very simple to understand and operate. My first project was to laminate recipe cards for my wife. I put the recipes on 8 X 5 inch cards, and placed them 2 per laminate page (Fellowes Thermal Laminating Pouches, 5 mil thickness, and they work fine, with plenty of margin to completely seal the cards. I did 59 pouches in a row (total of about 110 pouches done for the project) without a hitch (well, one hitch - I wasn't paying enough attention to the feed and it sent the pouch through at a slight angle, enough to run into the side and cause a bubble. Good news though: I immediately ran it through again (properly) and it ironed the bubbles out; that was the only hiccup in the operation, and that was MY fault, not the machines. All in all, this is a splendid machine for home/light duty use. I used a Fellowes Neutron Plus Rotary Paper Trimmer to trim off the pouch excess, leaving about 1/4 - 5/16ths inch pouch edge beyond the card. The machine is very quiet, and I only have two niggles about it: 1) I would prefer to have the feeding guides a little higher; it's too easy to "go off the rails", although unless it's REALLY off, as in my error, it still works and feeds fine. That said, I recommend paying attention to straightening the pouch BEFORE the rollers catch it to prevent an angle feed. 2) I would have liked a slide out pouch support on the end of the feeder ramp - the Fellowes pouches have a good tacky surface that keeps everything in place, but I would have more piece of mind to have the unsealed end supported a bit more. Other than that, I am pleased with the purchase and functionality of this machine!

Great product and great price. Does a great job.

Works great! Heats up within a few minutes. The included 3mil sheets are very thick and seal well. Feeds straight without and issues. This is small enough to sit on a desk or easy enough to pack away until the next use.

This laminator works really well, but it make a terrible noise every time it is warming up!

The Scotch PRO Thermal Laminator is a total game-changer. It heats up fast, zips through pages like a champ, and leaves everything perfectly smooth—no bubbles, no drama. I’ve laminated kids’ art, recipe cards, even a random grocery list just because I could.Quiet, compact, and oddly satisfying to use. Honestly, I’m looking around the house for more things to laminate.I have used this to preserve the longevity of Play-Doh mats and worksheets for my kids theme weeks!

I've been in childcare and teaching for 15 years, been laminating things forever. I was skeptical on this, but for the upcoming school year I'm homeschooling and needed something STAT. Of course Amazon delivers. So I've now made a memory game and some little animal icons for my 2yo. No precutting. Super fast and simple setup to use. Heat up time takes a couple minutes. Quality is exceptional. I bought 3 MIL Letter size pack and I couldn't be happier with the price, quality, quickness and efficiency. 100/10 recommend.

We use this for the Elementary PTO and it will take anything you can throw at it. Tough and durable.
