SINCHI Auto Sense, 3-10 mil Laminating Machine for Office and School, 50-Second Warm-up, 40 Inches/Minute, Never-Jam, Heavy Duty, 13-inch Thermal Laminator Machine 11x17

This laminator does everything it claims. I absolutely love it and pretty much use it every day. As a teacher in a special education classroom, I knew I needed a high quality laminator. Finding one with four rollers and a wide opening was my top priority. I looked for a long time and read many, many reviews. I am so thrilled with my purchase. This laminator is compact despite its wide opening, not too heavy, has a super durable cord ( I love that it detaches completely because I like to carry this laminator from school to home and back again pretty often.) If I trim file folders down just a bit I can laminate them in the large size pouches on my own with a higher quality film than what my school office provides on the old fashioned table top laminator. It heats up so quickly, you almost miss the beep that lets you know it's ready to go because it happens faster than you can believe. The laminator comes with a "cleaning paper": USE THIS. It will be your best friend. I just keep it right next to the laminator and send it through every once in a while as I am laminating materials for my classroom. You can easily wipe that cardboard piece down and toss it back in the stack. It truly does remove the extra adhesive that is constantly building up inside laminators. (And yes, you can see it/feel it before you wipe it off the paper!) I tell you this because I was not super responsible with it in the beginning and I had a serious jam. Now that I have gone through the painstaking and time consuming process of clearing the jammed items and have felt the fear of losing my most useful tool I will not be neglecting this key component needed to keep it running smoothly again. If you are like me and researching available laminators, wearing yourself out trying to find all the pros and cons of each one so that you don't invest a larger amount of money in the wrong product then look no further. You will be thrilled with this laminator and its quality and speed will maximize your efforts.

I assembled this laminator with ease, found it to be very quiet compared to others I've had in the past.I ran it on automatic to see how well it would adjust for the documents I placed through it, and I was very pleasantly surprised, not only did it do a great job but was twice as fast as my Fellows laminator.I am beyond pleased at this point with this machines performance, and I would definitely recommend it to others and my friends, heck even to my work place.

Bought this because many machines only do 3 mil and 5 mil laminates. I use this for work and want the super sturdy 10 mil laminates. It is expensive at FedEx to do this so I figured it was worth it long term. So far, it works great and is easy to use!

The machine stopped working after 5 months. Without a reason. It began to beep. And it no longer laminated. I am very disappointed. In addition, when using card stock the lamination easily came off.

This laminating machine is hefty (powerful, solid and heavy)!! Does an excellent job laminating documents, believe me, this is the laminating machine you want to have at home for your laminating needs. I worked for 32 years in public education, so I am very familiar with this type of machine. Prior to buying this one, I ordered a different brand a little more expensive (I did not used it) , but I just did not like how cheap it felt, so I returned it. And kept searching for something that will caught my eye, and I am just so happy that I bought this laminating machine. Whenever this laminating machine ever stops working, I will immediately return to Amazon and look for this particular model (or brand) and purchase another one!!! It is definitely worth the money if you want quality professional results! Blessings!

So far has been performing very well. It is sturdy and excellent for a= small business. laminating quality is very good. Auto sense is very convenient. Auto shut off is great to have. So far I do recommend this product.

Love this laminatorEasy to useGoes up to a 10 mil pouchQuick on and quick cooldown

This machine couldn't handle 10 mil pouch with 24# paper on one pass, either on Automatic or Manual. It had more than ample warm up time. It required running it a second or third time from different directions to finally get a clear seal.Vistaprint business cards with 5 mil 3M pouches work fairly good, but even when processed on manual at 10 mil heat, about half the time I have to send them through again.I'll give a benefit of the doubt that MAYBE it is a machine problem, but I'm sending it back.
