Marigold 13" 4-Roller Pouch Thermal Laminator High Speed 1 Minute Warm up Laminating Machine,Better Than Other 12.5 and 12 inches laminators

I have only owned this laminator for about a month now, but so far it has performed very well. I am quite pleased with how quickly it warms up, the quality of the laminating, the sturdiness of the laminator, and how many things I can laminate at one time due to the size of the laminating pouches it can take. There are sometimes bubbles in the lamination, but always between items, not on them, and not sure if that is due to the laminator or the pouches I am using? Either way, it has not been a concern, as it is not impacting the items being laminated.

Today it did the same gobble-up thing while using 5mil but super-thin paper. It over-heated and now won't turn on. It is 1 year and 9 days old. SOOOOOO disappointed.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++original:Things I love....it’s fast, no bubbles, sleek looking, like the littleledge to help guide you into the machineThings I hate....it has gobbled up a few items (4x in nearly 75 laminated sheets) as sheets exit out the back (you can hear the sheet catching on something and then out comes your accordion!!), the rollers become unseated or unattached or whatever and I have to occasionally bang it around to get them back where they belong, sometimes it guides under the first roller and you end up with a hot mess, the beautiful, shiny finish scratches freakishly easy and it’s expensive given the issues it has!I’m a teacher so this baby travels with me (probably explains the rollers getting jacked up).Would not buy again.

The Marigold 13" 4 roller pouch laminator works flawlessly! It pulls the items through without wrinkling them. It heats up quickly and is ready to go in less than two minutes. Even on 5 mil lamination, it works fast for a personal laminator. It looks nice and operating it is a breeze. Can't go wrong with this laminator!

I am a classroom teacher so I laminate things very often! I don't usually do heavy duty sheets, but this laminator has been used for photos, signs, and mini posters for the classroom. Each time, it has performed amazingly and the quality has been so clear. I've used 3 mil and 5 mil, and the settings have worked great for each of those thicknesses. The finished product always enhances the original product. I also like that it heats up quickly and laminates quickly, especially when I have a large stack of flashcards to make.The one downside that I've noticed is that when it first heats up, the first sheet I laminate will come out with bubbles that can't be fixed. The following sheets are always perfect. This could be due to the laminator not being hot enough for the first sheet, but this doesn't bother me very much to rate it less than 4 stars.

We purchased a total of three of these for our office. They worked great in the beginning however after just a couple of months use they started clicking and eventually stopped working entirely. We were sent a replacement when the first one broke, it is now also now not working. Would not recommend if you will be using more than a couple times a week. It does heat very quickly and is fast when it works.

It does what it says it should do.Heats up fast. Have never had any issues with bubbles.I’d say the 4 roller design is well-worth the investment.I like it and would recommend this! 👍

I bought this Teji Laminator because I wanted something high quality that I could use to laminate all the teaching materials I’m creating. I plugged this in at home, and turned the switch button on, then pressed the mode button to setting 1 as per the instructions. As soon as I pressed the mode button and it started heating up, it immediately smelled like an electrical burning smell. I then noticed all the lights in the room started flickering in a wave pattern. I turned it off and unplugged it and the lights stopped flickering. This product says designed in Japan, Made in China.The outside box says “Marigold.” It was previously opened as it was taped closed multiple times on one end and the styrofoam on one end was broken when I opened it. I do not recommend this product as it obviously has some type of electrical compatibility issue with our house. (We live in the US.) I’m including a picture of the specifications including voltage: 100~120V/60Hz. If this review is helpful, please let me know.

Three temperature selections at the same feed through rate easily accommodates 3 mil and 5 mil pouches with various thickness paper. Great price! It's a four roller machine priced as a two roller machine. Built sturdy! I like it very much!
