I like this laminator. I used it to laminate some numbers for my moms job and personal documents. The laminator film is thick and sturdy and the laminator heated up fast. It does the job in home. It's so simple. You place the document or whatever it is you're laminating in the film and feed it through the machine. There is an indicator light that tells you when it's ready. It was so cool.
