Sola A4 Laminator Machine for Home Use - Fast 4 Minute Warm Up Time with Auto Shut Off Feature - 80-125 Micron - Amazon Exclusive, White/Black

Light weight basic, desk top laminator, feels a little plasticky and flimsy, but does the job at the right price, for occasional laminating projects.

This is a small A4 laminator which is an absolute doddle to use. In the box you'll find the laminator, an instruction booklet, and a paper tray (actually a piece of plastic that clips onto the rear of the laminator) and that's it, so you'll need to buy some laminator pouches. It can use any up to 125 microns thick, which is front and back, making 250 microns - check the spec of the pouches you buy. To use it, plug it into the mains and flick a switch on the right of the unit. A red light comes on to indicate that the laminator is heating, and after about four minutes it is at the correct temperature, and a green light comes on. All you do now is pop your item to laminate into a pouch and insert it closed end first into the front of the laminator, and you'll feel it catch and be dragged in, and the laminated document slowly emerges from the back, taking about 30 seconds in total. The laminator stays warm for quite a while, so when you've finished using it you'll need to leave it somewhere to cool. It's almost silent in operation but you can hear the roller inside constantly turning, so it's not something you'd leave switched on all the time. Absolutely delighted with mine, and since getting it I've laminated loads of documents, recipes and so on and not had a single issue with it. Great little thing!

Works fine. Took me a little while to realise what looks like a round power button on the top is just a light and the main switch is on the side!

This arrived yesterday and I wanted to test it out before I left a review. It's nice and small, so easy to store somewhere, its takes 3-4 mins to fully heat up and the light will come on green to say when it's ready to use. There is an on and off switch on the side, but an on/off switch on top as well (I did press this button but nothing happened) so I'm assuming it's just for show (hence why only 4 stars). At first the machine did give a funny smell, but after a few mins the smell does disappear. It heated well and all the pages came out well.

Great value, super easy to use laminator especially if you buy the Fellowes laminator pouches. Very compact, heats up quickly, all round good buy.

Great laminator Can chew things at times

Excellent product - as are all Fellowes office products.

It did a couple of sheets ok but then one fed it at an angle and i didnt have time to pull it out and the document and pouch were totally stuck in the machine. It didnt fed out of the exit side it just all crumpled up inside the sealed machine. Rendered it useless so had to return it.

Laminator is completely unusable after my second time using it. A page got jammed in it and there is no reverse button and no way of opening it up. I emailed the manufacturer and they said there's nothing that can be done. Extremely disappointing and just not good enough.

Affordable laminator that’s been going strong, got an officeworks branded one before this that lasted literally failed within a week. If you need a decent cheap laminator highly recommend this product

Very quick and easy to use. Amazing price as well. Only received yesterday and have already laminated about 50 pages with no issues whatsoever. For my fellow Australians, comes with a UK plug so grab an adapter for a few $ as well :)

swallowed paper and got stuck...within a week

Bought in Australia but doesn’t have an Australian plug on it, so it’s useless
