Review: Great Laminator! - Swingline GBC Thermal Laminator Machine, Fusion 7000L ~ I'm not sure why this laminator had so many negative reviews. Maybe the only people leaving reviews were the ones who were frustrated and had a negative experience. I purchased this laminator for $126.37. I received a special price for purchasing a used, but like new product. Despite this... I haven't had any issues. The price for the same laminator on desertcart (new) is $286 at the time of writing this review. I was very impressed with this machine. I purchased based on a few factors. I researched prior to purchase and learned the more rollers the better. This one has six. The laminator warms up in 1 minute. No need to find something else to do while waiting for it to warm up!!! Also, laminating speed was a factor. All these things make the lamination process smooth. As a side note, I purchased another laminator for comparison... it was cheaper and I wanted to see if you could get the same results from a cheaper model. Warm up time for my comparison laminator was 4 minutes. So, you have to find something to do while you wait. Then, when I was laminating, the slot available to feed the sheet was exactly the same and therefore there was no room for error. In other words, on the Swingline GBC, you have 12 inches, but the comparison laminator, only had 9. I used the Swingline GBC first, since it arrived first. It was awesome. I was able to complete all my project in very little time. When the comparison laminator arrived, I tested it. Basically, the problem I had was that the sheets that come with both laminators are the size for printer paper, which is what I wanted and need, but when I put it through the comparison laminator, it was exactly the slot size, and if there was the slightest angle in entering the pouch, then the laminator sheet would go off to the side and I feared that it would crinkle or jam or even just give a poor job. Luckily, even though one of my sheets badly veered to the side on the comparison laminator, it didn't wreck the lamination job. Still, I feel it is possible and could happen. I watched a video on the comparison laminator and there were errors with it, over time. I feel overall, the Swingline GBC will be better for me, because I won't have to be so very careful about lining the pouch up with very little error. The margin for error is so very small on the comparison laminator, which was a nine inch, versus the Swingline GBC 12 inch. So, the size option actually helps. Even though I may only laminate printer paper size, I like the bigger size laminator to give me the room for error. I feel it will virtually eliminate mistakes/jams. I prefer a margin of error. Also, another comparison that I really liked with the Swingline GBC vs. the comparison laminator was the speed. The comparison model was slower. I wouldn't mind it being slow (as much) if the warm up time was faster on the comparison model. The Swingline GBC was 1 minute warm up time and the comparison model was four minutes. The comparison laminator was smaller. So, that part I did like. The Swingline GBC is quite large. Also, for some reason on the comparison laminator, when I laminated a sheet of paper that had been folded the sheet came out laminated, but still bent and not completely straight where the paper had been folded.
Review: Disappointed - I purchased this laminator because it was advertised as a commercial machine, but from the start, it didn’t live up to that claim. When it arrived, the packaging looked unusual — not like what you'd expect from a brand-new product — which made me wonder if it had been used or returned before. Right away, I had issues. The rear feeder wouldn't clip on properly, so I had to leave it off. Then, when I tried to laminate 10 mil sheets (as advertised), the machine repeatedly jammed or reversed halfway through the process, causing the sheets to get stuck inside. It was incredibly frustrating. Although the product claims to have an "auto jam" feature, it seemed like the machine caused more jams than it could fix. After a month of trying to make it work, I gave up and returned it to desertcart. I spent nearly $300 on this machine, expecting professional results, but ended up purchasing a less expensive laminator in hopes of better performance. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this product.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super easy to use, Buy this one!
*by A***R on October 5, 2018*

I received the Swingline GBC Laminator Fusion 7000L today. It is a heavy unit. It seems to be a quality made product. I couldn't understand the minimal instructions so I just tuned it on. Seconds later it indicated it had warmed up. I placed my document in a pouch and fed it in. It is super quick. The finished product was beyond my expectations. It is what I had hoped for and it delivered. I whole heartedly recommend this product. P.S. I did receive a damaged laminator that Amazon replaced within 2 days.
