I have used a home laminator before but this Scotch Thermal Laminator folds up nice and compact for storage.  I really love the fold up feed tray and cord storage location. It's so easy to put an item into the laminator pouch and send it through the laminator. It heats up pretty quickly and the papers come out with out wrinkles. I received this as apart of Chatterbox package from Scotch. I'm loving using it for my home and mucus class projects.
