There are probably better laminators on the market. This has proved utterly hopeless as it was used 4 times all as per instructions. It then jammed up and the only way to clear the jam was to strip it down and remove part of the gearing to release the jammed paper and laminate pocket. It take forever to warm up and is very slow. It has been used twice since but I felt you had to gently pull the laminated pocket through very gently to make sure it didn’t crumple up. All in all a waste of space.
