I rieceved two Scotch laminators and cousins for free as a House Party Host. One laminator I gave to my church's Sunday School Teacher. This is my honest review. The laminators worked great. They heated quickly and the laminate stayed together after cutting out small and large pictures.  I love how the Scotch laminators have a thicker laminate than the industrial one in the local school. They seem like they will last a longer and tear.  The dry erase markers I used wiped of even after letting it sit for a period of time but left a light residue on the sheet. I recommend Scotch laminators for the price and quality.
