Fellowes M5-95 Laminator with Pouch Starter Kit (M5-95)

This laminator is very small, which is great since I don't have a lot of storage space. It doesn't take too long to heat up or laminate (though it is going to take a minute because it needs to heat everything evenly). My only problem was that it smelled really bad when I tested it out. It seems like it's going to smell for the first couple uses but that it should stop over time. Also, this thing is SUPER quite. It makes little to no noise.

I bought this to machine so I could laminate miscellaneous documents/photos from time to time, and not for heavy use. The starter kit comes with 10 sheets (3mil), and is more then enough to get you started. You can also trim down the laminating pouch before sending it through (if your document is small), and use the remaining sheet for a future document, thus giving you more then 10 uses.The laminator takes roughly 4 minutes to boot up, in which the "ready" light will then turn green. An 8.5x11 document will take less then a minute to complete. I recommend laying the laminated item on a flat surface after completion, to decrease the chance of the item from curling up before the heat cools down.Overall, I have ran into 0 issues with this laminator and would recommend it to a friend. I use it about 1-2 a month, and store it under a desk when not in use.

The media could not be loaded. So far so good. The item itself feels cheap , like it’s super light weight can’t complain about that but the outcome works great. I didn’t use the laminates it came with (not sure why just haven’t ) but it gets the job done. Very easy to use. Gets hot right away. I gave it 4 stars because I’ve only used it 3 times and the video shown here is the 3rd time being used. I’m hoping it lasts long. Can’t beat the price !! It’s worth the buy.

I used it for laminating pictures.The quality is nice. Easy to use. Looked nice.Con- the 10 pouches were not in the box. Please send them to address on file. May not order again due to this missing item.

I could not use the product and here’s why:PLEASE READ:I bought this item the thru the Amazon warehouse, it arrived only in a clear cellophane/plastic bag on my doorstep without a box, instructions or the advertised supplies. (I never even opened the plastic bag). I immediately contacted Amazon, they directed me to the company and it was All Down Hill from there. I supplied ALL information and pictures to the company that they requested, still wasn’t good enough to anyone in their company, I spent days and hours on the phone with them . I had a small window in which to return it and it seemed they were trying to make the time run out. I will NEVER Ever purchase anything from the Fellowes company.Amazon didn’t want it back either, they told me to keep it and donate it to a charity thrift shop but, I will say that Amazon did refund my purchase price.I must add also that I have purchased many items from the Amazon warehouse and most of the time the items have been fine, just the boxes/packaging may have been “bruised”, which is fine as they do eventually get thrown out into the trash can, but the product has been fine. This was a shameful and cheap experience from the Fellowes company in their Customer NONservice and which they have now lost and cheapened a lot of Goodwill for their company (which BTW, can NEVER be bought).The Fellowes company made no honest effort to help in this situation. And I truly hope they read this.

I purchased this laminator to use at home to hello me get organized. It was a Great buy! I've used it to laminate many items from chore charts to awards from school. It's worked perfectly. I also appreciate how it comes with a starter pack of laminate pouches. It wasn't quite enough though so I'll be ordering more pitches. It warmed up quickly. I was even able to do double sided documents. I'm moving on to photo items next...

This laminator is great for protecting everything from school schedules to kids artwork. We have one similar to this at my work, and I’ve been using it for years with no problem. I anticipate that my own laminator will make me happy for a long time to come as well. You can’t beat the price on this!
