This machine makes laminating easy to do at home! Simple set up and design makes it super user friendly. I used it to laminate photos for my music studio. It was so simple to take the paper, place it in the laminator sleeve according to the simple and easy to understand directions and put it in the machine. It came right out completely sealed! The only cons I see with this product is the project size restriction and the project came out a little wavy so thicker paper may need to be used. Overall a great product for home and small office/business use! So grateful that I got this to try for free.
