It's my first laminator and I am very pleased with it. It takes approximately 4 minutes to heat (if highest setting is used it takes about 5). The results are very good indeed (all that depends on using the right pouch for the right purpose). The machine produces even, bubble and crease free results. Again, I tend to look that I use the right temperature setting.
It takes about 6 seconds for an A4 pouch which is fast.
Excellent buy, especially the price offered (the full list price seems to be at the £200 bracket - 01 Feb 2010), but I paid a quarter of that.
It definitely pays off to buy the higher end product.
