I still have it. The only downside is that it does take about 3-5min to heat up. Other than that it does the job ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ great for single sheet of paper *by P***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 22, 2014* I work as an instructional coach in special education. I visit multiple schools in a day. Often I create materials and want them to be used right away. It may be a week before I am back at that building. So, it is important that I can laminate materials quickly and waiting for the schools to get it done isn't always an option.The warm up time is longer than other models that I have used taking at least 8 minutes. I have learned to plan accordingly and this has not been a major draw back of the machine.If I am laminating a single page of paper (full 8 1/2 by 11 size) the results are great. However, most of my laminating involves items that were cut prior to placing in the pouch (picture schedule icons, file folder items, etc). When I put the items in the pouch they lay nicely but it is a challenge to get them to stay in the same spot as I feed the item through the laminator. My prior laminator had a cardboard carrier that the pouch was put into first. This really helped the items stay where I had put them. Another colleague has a pouch laminator that has a feeding tray on the front as well as the back. This allows you to lay the laminating pouch flat prior to feeding it. I never had a problem with items shifting prior to laminating. Since the majority of the work I do will involve putting multiple smaller items into one pouch I have found that if I stack a book next to the machine I can get the same effect of a tray and have since minimized some of the shifting.Even with the long warm up time and needing a way to keep smaller items together,I would probably have rated this a 5 star product because of the great price and the fact that it is very portable. I keep it in the original box and it fits easily into a standard sized reusable tote bag. However, I have used the machine for less than a month (maybe about 40 sheets of Swingline brand laminating film) and have experienced a problem already. I called the customer service number provided in my owners manual and the lady was one of the friendliest customer service representatives I have spoken to in a long time. She told me what I needed to do to get a replacement. (just made the request, so I am not sure how long that will take). Hopefully it will not continue to be an issue. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GREAT LAMINATOR FOR THE PRICE! *by K***B on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 21, 2013* I purchased this for $14.99 on a "today's deal" at Amazon. Since it did not come with any laminating pouches, I had to run to the store to purchase some just to try the machine out!. Had I known this when I ordered the machine, I would have purchased the pouches with the machine!It took about 10 minutes for the machine to heat up which is a lot longer than any machines I have used before. The laminating also was slower. But, this machine really did a terrific job!! I was very impressed with the tight seal around my document. It was impossible to peel or separate the laminate from the document! I laminated several different thicknesses of paper, card stock, and thin cardboard, with great results! I was even able to trim the excess laminate very close to the edge of my document without breaking the seal!! I had the machine on for about an hour while I was testing the different paper thicknesses. The machine did not get hot to touch and did not heat up my counter top.The machine came with a rough texture piece of paper for "cleaning" the rollers. After each use while the machine is still hot and plugged in, this sheet of paper needs to be feed into the machine and is supposed to remove any sticky residue from the rollers.I cannot tell if this really works until I use my machine for a while. But, In the past, I did throw out two machines(a different brand) because they got gunked up with sticky residue and there were no instructions on how to maintain or clean the rollers.I would recommend this machine for Home use. It is only a 9" Laminating Machine so it cannot handle Legal Documents (11" x 14") or 12" x 12" scrapbook paper. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/1144937-gbcthermal-laminator-machine-inspire-9-inch-7-min-warm-up](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/1144937-gbcthermal-laminator-machine-inspire-9-inch-7-min-warm-up) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
