Been using for > a year and got through a few refills. Never jams or breaks. ### ⭐ Great idea, but two units didn't work *by A***N on July 16, 2020* I sell laminated books that I make by hand so I was really excited when I found this product. The first unit I received malfunctioned before I used up the starter roll of film. It kept saying it was out of film. I had bought several new rolls and it still read out of film with the new rolls. I contacted the company for help. They have outstanding customer service. They tried to help me troubleshoot the problem with no luck. They had me send the first unit back and replaced it with a second unit. The second unit laminated 18 sheets before it jammed. I had to pull out the film and cut it with scissors. It then went to the default "out of film" reading. I replaced that roll of starter film with a new roll and had the same reading. I left it unplugged for hours and tried it again but the misreading of the film wouldn't go away. I contacted customer service again and asked for a refund.The concept is great, their customer service is fantastic, but the product still seems to have some bugs to work out. I really hope new versions of this product come out that work well, because I definitely would consider purchasing another unit in the future. It would be nice if the units could hold more sheets of paper so you have less wasted film in between reloading. ## Frequently Bought Together - GBC Foton 30 Automated Pouch-Free Laminator, 9.6" x 22.7" x 18.8", Starter Film-Cartridge Included (FOTON30120NA) - GBC 5 Mil Foton 30 Reloadable Cartridge with 113' Laminating Film (FOTONRC005C) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/151442611-gbc-foton-30-automated-pouch-free-laminator-9-6-x](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/151442611-gbc-foton-30-automated-pouch-free-laminator-9-6-x) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
