Fellowes, FEL5734101, Jupiter2 125 Laminator & Pouch Starter Kit, 1, Black,Silver

Many times the claims of the company about the pros of their products do not match the reality of what you get. This is not one of those times. When they claim it takes only 60 seconds to warm up, it really only takes 60 seconds. When they say it automatically adjusts for thickness, it really does. I have not had any issues at all but so far we have only used it to make homemade flash cards and laminate some art work. However, I do not foresee any problems doing any other kind of work in the future. This is easy, simple and quick. What more could you ask for.

I've wanted a laminator for quite some time and when I selected this particular one, I have to say I am very happy with it. It took me a bit to fully understand how to operate it, even after reading directions, but once I realized that the controls are sensitive to just a slight touch and you don't push on them like I originally tried, well then I had no problems getting it going. The space you need to operate this is approximately 22” x 22” or so. You need the clearance in the back for when the item is coming through the laminator. I set it up on my kitchen table to use but will keep in on a bookcase when not in use. It's a really quick start so there is just a minute or less to warm it up. The items I did laminate did come out with a very, very slight curl at one end but nothing that hinders anything. I will be purchasing some of the thicker laminator pouches for things that I will post out doors. I found Fellowes Glossy Pouches - Letter, 10 mil, 50 pack - Letter - 9" Width x 11.50" Length x 10 mil Thickness at walmart.com for a good price. Note that 10 mil (250 microns) is the thickest laminating pouch you can use with this laminator. Overall I'm sure I'll find lots of uses for this little gem from creating bookmarks and signs to preserving pictures and documents.
