Customer Reviews for VEVOR 51 Inch Cold Laminator Machine 10mm Manual Vinyl Photo Film Cold laminator Hand Crank Pressure Cold Roll laminator(51Inch)

Ordered to apply art to boards as well as apply glue sheets and laminates.It adjusts to the thickness of the projects it was purchased to do. Very happy with this product and look forward to making many creations of art with it!The box arrived with slight damage to the end of the box that could be prevented by adding Styrofoam thick enough to prevent movement and the rods going through the box. The damage came because the wood that was used to prevent the machine roller end from going through the box is insufficient i.e. not thick enough to prevent that. The weight of the machine went right through the wood piece and the end of the box. A second wood piece may have prevented this. Good news the machine wasn't damaged thanks to the fact that Amazon delivered it. Had it gone to the USPS it had the potential to be damaged to the point where it would not be usable. Thank you Amazon!

Very happy whith this machine, it works very well. The instructions, however, are written in poor English, and are almost incomprehensible.

Item works as advertised. I like it. But the packaging is terrible. Handle is busted. I filed a claim but Amazon only has return entire item. Kinda dumb. Just need the handle. This thing is large and heavy. I'm gluing the handle or just run to hardware store.

I bought this in part because all the inexpensive name brand (e.g. Scotch) laminators no longer have guides; this is somehow reserved for high-end models. This doesn't have guides either, but at least it is wide enough that alignment isn't super critical for letter-size paper. It's even wide enough for 11x17 with imperfect alignment.It heats up a bit faster than my old, dead Scotch laminator.As others have noted, on the unit I received, there is no heat warning sticker on the (removable) lid over the rollers as pictured, and it gets hot enough to burn. This is basically like a conveyor toaster with heating elements that heat up two of the four rollers instead of toast, and the cover is immediately above the top heating element. So of course it gets hot.The meter doesn't display the actual temperature; it displays the temperature set by the knob, which is also labeled. The documentation says to keep it running with heat turned off to cool down until it reaches 80° (presumably C). However, even if the meter displayed actual temperature, it wouldn't help much, because the meter reads down only to 100°C — there's no way to know when it's really cool enough. So, run it for a while? Five minutes? Ten? Who knows...The documentation is relatively useless. In particular, it has inconsistent suggestions for heat settings for different film thicknesses. I found an online reference in °F and converted it to °C:3 mil: 135°C5 mil: 140°C7 mil: 150°C10 mil: 170°CSo far I've tested only 3 mil but it worked fine set to 135°C.Ultimately, knowing all this I would probably buy it again, but I don't have young children who can't be trusted around hot appliances either.

It's weight just let's you know it's for real, not so.e kind of toy laminator. I bought 2 separate laminator, they smoked and never worked, got replacements,same story. This was finally the solution! Great buy

Beware mine came damaged due to poor packing. I chose to repair it rather than send it back. The laminator itself works perfectly though. I needed a cold laminator for making stickers, the heat and the adhesive on stickers do not go well together. Though it is twice the size that I need for the price it's a deal. It has applied clear lamination to my stickers perfectly from the first sheet until now. It is heavy and I expect it will outlive me easily.

It took a little while to become used to the laminator, but after laminating a few photos, it has become fairly easy to use. I have successfully laminated a photo collage that is more than 8 feet in length. Having a second person to help with larger projects will make things easier. The results are VERY good.

for laminating

it works perfectlyand the price is very fair

great as described!
