I received this laminator in the product test program to amazon. At the packaging nothing to say laminator is well protected in a carton and went by forms very stiff cardboard. The manual is very brief, but the device is actually very easy to use. Aesthetically the unit is aesthetic rather a nice blue Electric, but really very toy (this may be the goal). In terms of use, you must first use to release the cutting blade on the rear of the unit, and then insert an object to be laminated (no more than one millimeter thick). With my daughter we first try with a sheet of paper, standard (a single A4 sheet has small tile ..). We must raise more fold the introduction of the thing carrier has laminated. The sheet hold (the object) on the left side of the support and until you feel a stop and then helping a hand to the introduction, we turn the crank clockwise a watch, the movement is not very natural actually ... since we must see if the object to be laminated is output to make the cut. The cutting is done very simply, is slid the chisel by pressing and dragging the orange yellow button along the device and it is cut. The result is not completely terrible plasifieuse the creases, several times and after several tries. .. We tested with different more flexible support (paper) to more rigid (Bristol board type). The support is more rigid least there false more actually. (No creases on card stock) I really have not been convinced by this, I have an amazon basic electric laminator that works with plastic pockets and it is really effective (no creases whatever the medium). In short to play ca children can be fun, but for a more functional use, it does not really worth a hot plasfieuse.
