This small laminator, a very affordable price, takes up little space on a desk. Made in China, it is in white plastic and without seeming very robust, the quality seems correct. It works with two sheets of thicknesses: 80 microns (for documents a little thick) or 125 microns (for fine papers). It is supplied with two sets of two sheets of 80 microns, so you have to buy a small stock of sheets corresponding to your needs. It plasticizes up to A4, which is ample for most needs. "AmazonBasics" offers only 100 A4 sheets of 80 microns, but you can find more choice on the site, size and thickness (Fellowes brand). The device gives off, as indicated by the leaflet, a slightly unpleasant smell during initial use, this being expected to diminish over time. The operation is very quiet. The quality of the lamination is excellent (made subject, like all machines, the evolution of plastic over time) and I plasticized my old driver's license, with carnations laying the photo, without any problem, with a very clean and bubble-free result. In conclusion, a very useful and cheap with consumable at relatively affordable hardware (approximately 13 100 A4 sheets at 80 microns); advise if you have enough documents to be laminated on the life of the unit: 100 laminated documents you will return to 0.49 and 50 documents per document 0.72 / doc. assuming fully depreciated machine.
