I recently bought the Crenova Laminator Machine for just $20, and I’m really happy with it! It’s super easy to use and heats up quickly, so I can start laminating in no time.The quality of the lamination is great—my documents and photos come out looking clear and professional. It works well with different pouch sizes, and I love that it has a jam release feature, which is really helpful.This laminator is perfect for school projects, crafts, or keeping important papers safe. For the price, it’s an amazing deal! I definitely recommend the Crenova Laminator Machine if you need a reliable and affordable laminator.

The machines size is perfect for easy storage. It is easy to use and it heats the sheet perfectly with no bubbles and it heat it’s pretty fast. I cannot complain it’s a perfect machine for what we need it for

Buying a personal laminator was not on my bingo card for 2025, but here we are. I needed to laminate some material for a class that I teach and didn't want to spend the weekend at school borrowing theirs. I purchased this model from Amazon and was very impressed. The laminator heats up quickly and laminates relatively fast as well.Something to keep in mind: This model works best with thinner laminating sheets (perfect for my project)--I purchased some extra 9x11.5 sheets from Amazon Basics that worked perfectly. It dod not do as good of a job with thicker laminating sheets.Still, I'm very pleased with my purchase.

I went with this laminator specifically because it advertised a quicker warm-up time than others in the same price range and in that regard it did not disappoint. It does a good job of laminating - no wrinkles or bubbles - and it's also pretty easy to line up the laminating sheet to feed through the slot correctly. I've run about 10 sheets of standard thickness (20#) laser printer paper through it so far without any jams or tracking issues, so while I can't say anything about long term reliability, it has at least made it through the dreaded "infant mortality" period of the bathtub curve. That said, the laminating sheets that it comes with are approximately 4-3/8" x 6-1/4" in size which doesn't correspond to anything commonly used here in the US so you'll need to buy your own sheets (9" x 11.5" 3 mil sheets works well for letter size).

This "Crenova A4" laminator is as basic and SIMPLE a one that you can purchase... NO heat-intensity adjustment; NO page-thickness adjustment (but it's worked admirably with both 3-mil & 5-mil thickness sheets); NO 'reverse' switch (in case of page-'jams'...but it DOES have a lever in the back that will disengage the roller-gears, so the sheet can then be manually pulled out in case of a mis-feed); NO 'Cold' lamination setting (for use otherwise, with self-stick sheets--but I suppose you can seal three or four of those type of sheets with this at the outset of turning it on, before it has the chance to heat). Simply, and I repeat, 'SIMPLY,' "ON" or "OFF" and that's about it!Aside from its lack of any 'gadgetry,' I HAVE ALMOST NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS THUS FAR, SEALING SOME 300 PAGES OF PAPER WITH THIS "CRENOVA" SINCE PURCHASING IT SOME FIVE MONTHS AGO NOR HAS IT EVER EXPERIENCED A FATAL OR MAJOR PAGE-JAM.Any problems I have experienced (such as a bit of 'wrinkling' of the lamination on occasion) I've attributed to my lack of care in ensuring that the paper and lamination-sheet are perfectly flat and not uneven or 'askew' in any way prior to insertion into the machine (especially when using lamination-sheet brands of lesser quality).As stated, thus far, I've sealed no fewer than about three hundred page-sheets with this and my ONLY complaint about this "Crenova" machine is that ITS FEED-SLOT SHOULD REALLY BE AT LEAST 1/3 INCH (or) .84 CM WIDER.Yes, you MUST ensure that, upon inserting your 8.5"-wide letter/legal-sized page, that IT'S PERFECTLY CENTERED AND NOT THE LEAST BIT SLANTED in the machine's 9 inch/23 cm-wide feed-slot (lest the edge of the page begin to increasingly rub/fold against the slot's left/right side, ultimately resulting in a deformed edge of the sheet).Also, the seller BROKE ITS PROMISE to me! Included with the laminator was a card/offer for a free pack of 100 lamination-sheets. Despite emailing them two times with the request (along with my address, mandated "Amazon" order # and PDF image of the card-offer), they NEVER fulfilled that promise and I never received the free lamination-sheets.IMPORTANT UPDATE: They eventually did send them to me months later, ONLY after I submitted this review to Amazon... Perhaps they, too, read it!FREEBIES, OTHERWISE INCLUDED WITH the laminator were two items I've found quite handy on occasion:1- A 1-foot (.30 meter) wide, plastic (except for cutting blade) paper/lamination cutter. (And)...2- A little 'clipper' for rounding the corners of the laminated (or paper) page.Haven't used either yet sufficiently to attest to their longevity but, thus far...THE PAPER-CUTTER has proven beneficial for trimming a straight, fraction-of-an-inch from pages' sides (works well on the plastic, as well) PROVIDED THAT, once you've inserted and leveled/centered the side of the page 'sandwiched' between its two plastic guide-plates, you then GRIP THE TOP AND BOTTOM PLATES SECURELY against the paper, to prevent the page from shifting out of position, once you begin sliding the cutter-blade to make the cut.THE CORNER-ROUNDER PUNCH/TRIMMER seems to effectively catch and trap those tiny pieces it trims from the paper's corners in order to round them off, within its bottom containment-area UNTIL you make a wrong move with it (say, turning it on its side or upside down), at which instance you'll likely then have to pick up or vacuum up all those teeny pieces from your work-area or floor (and replacing the device's plastic containment-bottom-cap, once its removed for emptying that little catch-bin isn't extremely easy).ALL-IN-ALL, the laminator-machine itself can hardly be beat for its simplicity and reliability with 3-mil & 5-mil sheets (I haven't tried sealing with any that are thicker).Just don't be too hopeful when you see the enclosed "Free 100 Laminating Sheets" card-offer enclosed with it!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Very simple to use. Good price for product. Plus, I love the color

Still new, but using it to create documents to use around the house and laminate insurance cards. 1-week in but so far, so good.

Easy to use, came quickly, heats up fast.
