Royal PL-2112 12-Inch Hot Laminating Machine, Black (PL2112)

This is my second laminator and I use it frequently. I am fairly famous for laminating things and for some reason I like laminated things more than the average human does.The product has a nice wide path for paper, it works well, takes no expertise at all to use and seems to be of fine quality. I bought another one as a gift and I just got a call from my sister where she let me know she was enjoying it and has been using it frequently.If you are thinking about laminating, good for you. I recommend this product as a good solution for frequent home use and hope that you find it as useful as I do.

We got this laminator over a year ago to use at work (I work at a preschool and we used to many many times a week) and it was great. I love that the laminator paper is thick, not thin like others, and it's super easy to use.After a year, the heating component seemed to break though, so we had to buy a new one. Hopefully this one lasts a little bit longer. Overall, it's a great laminator. I went to Office Max and the one they had was over $100 and didn't look nearly as good as this one.

Wish the box was a tiny bit taller so I could fit a pack of 8.5 x 11 laminating sheets inside the box. It is about 1/4" too short so I have to have two items to carry instead of one neatly packed.

This machine takes a little while to warm up, but it works great. I haven't had any issues with it.

The laminator works as advertised and does a good job. I like not having to use a carrier. It seems to take a long time to heat up. I might be impatient but it usually is 15 minutes to heat up.

This little laminator is a great addition to my office and I am sure I will use it a lot. The only problem is it takes about 15 minutes to warm up, so you have to think ahead!

We were disappointed that with the first use, our identification cards got stuck. The only way we can get them out is by putting in a larger, heavier item and pushing it out! This happens more frequently than with our former laminator (which finally burned out). Also, the flap broke off while trying to retrieve a stuck card and is no longer in use.I would suggest trying a less expensive laminator to those who are tight financially.

Very pleased with the item.

This is a piece of Chinese junk. I bought it in November, but didn't get around to using it until May. When I tried to feed the sheet into the laminator, it wouldn't go in. I checked to see if I could return it, but I had passed the deadline.Figuring I had nothing to lose, I opened it up. I had heard something rattling around and when I got it open, a c clamp fell out. The c clamp was supposed to be on the end of one of the rollers, but I don't think it was ever put in place properly, and it popped off.This then allowed the guide plates to come together and prevent the slot from being wide enough to let the sheet pass through.I replaced it thinking this might fix the problem.I tried to put it back together, but the ends were so loose, the plates kept falling off, so I just threw it out.Junk, junk, junk. I doubt it was ever tested before it was packed.You get what you pay for, and I guess I didn't pay enough.Buy at your own risk.

Can't believe that i paid less for this plus the laminating pouches than it would have cost me to get the same stuff laminated at Staples. Quite a bit less actually. Plus I have a great laminating machine that can handle up to 12 x 18 sheets!

good product. Works great.

Works great! Used it without problems and did over 200 sheets in one day before it jammed. Fixed the jam and still working great over a year after I bought it.

Absolutely love it.... I purchased it for the office and we use it almost every day.We make a lot of signs for our warehouse. This is a much more cost efficient method than having it done by a professional.
