The Fellowes Saturn 2 125 Laminator is a very useful device to have in the home or office. This particular model is presumably a bit more office oriented since it has the capability of laminating things that are up to 12.5 inches in width. The laminator accepts either 3, 4 or 5 mil laminating packets and is capable of "cold" laminating when you are using self-adhesive pouches that are not intended to be heated.

When you first plug in the unit, it automatically goes into the cold laminating mode. This is a good safety feature since you have to manually push one of the three, pouch thickness buttons to activate the heating element. Once you've selected the pouch thickness, the unit takes about 4-5 minutes to achieve operating temperature. It should also be mentioned that the device remains cool enough to touch even though internally it is quite hot. A quiet fan can be heard but it is very low in volume and barely noticeable.

I have a larger laminator but thought I might try this one. I love it. It is sleek and light. Yet, it can handle average size jobs with no problem. It has three size selections 3mil, 4mil and 5mil. My favorite feature on this one is the cold option. I use self sealing pouches from time to time and constantly have to fight air bubbles. However, I can place the self sealing pouches through this machine on the cold setting and no bubbles. It doesn't take up much space when stored, but does require about two square feet when in use.

This one is light enough to move around as often as needed. It accommodates pouches of three thicknesses and up to 12.5 inches wide. It comes with 10 letter size pouches. However, you can get a starter kit of pouches with 4 different sizes for under $25. This machine is very easy to set up, very easy to use and can handle...Read more

I ordered this laminator since I have a 4-year-old who is a prolific artist, and my wife and I were looking for a way to preserve some of her "masterpieces." My wife is also pretty crafty and likes to teach, so this sort of thing would get a lot of use in our house.

When the package arrived, I unpacked it immediately but didn't get around to using it for a few weeks. When Ifinally turned it on, Idiscovered an electrical error that prevented the laminator from changing settings. After about 15 minutes on the phone with Fellowes customer service, they determined we had a defective machine and immediately sent a new one under their 2-year warranty program. No hassles, no returns, no waiting. The customer service was simply excellent.

In about a week, the new laminator arrived, and it works great. The product comes with a sample pack of 3-mil pouches to help you get started right away. I laminated several pieces of my daughter's artwork and a few recipes that Ihad...Read more
