Less than a year in the top heater has failed, GBC customer service is very difficult to deal with and parts nearly impossible to get. The larger slower heating unit we use has been working without issue for 5 years and this one lasted 10 months in the same usage scenario. Unfortunately when I reached out to GBC to try and attain a PO for parts on this machine as we have internal maintenance staff that can repair all the offered was schedule repair tech and that's easier said than done in a secure facility.

Love having this at home. I’m a teacher so I get a lot of use out of it!

I bought this machine in 2016 and I didn't even realize it's been that long because it's still working like I just unboxed it! If you have laminating jobs that involve more than a few pages at a time, it's better to invest a little in a great machine like this one, than trouble yourself with something cheaper and smaller that can only handle laminating pouches...trust me. This machine is pretty well priced for what it can do, and it's super easy to load. Once you get the hang of changing the laminate rolls, it takes maybe 3 minutes tops. Pro tip: When choosing the thickness of your laminating rolls, go 3 or 5 mil instead of 1 mil or 1.7 mil. Especially if you're laminating regular paper instead of something sturdier like card stock, your laminates will start folding in on themselves as they exit the laminator and it'll jam your machine. You'll have to watch each page come out carefully and basically pull the film as it's exiting to avoid jamming and it's a real pain. Save yourself the headache and get a slightly thicker film, even if it's a little more expensive. I still can't find another machine with better functionality in the same price range, so I'm going to keep my baby until she burns out, and when she does, I may just get another one. In 2016 I bought mine at $398 and it's $350 now. Hurry up and buy it!

Facile à opérer. Bon résultat de laminage. Assez rapide. Côté moins positif : changement de rouleaux un peu compliqué mais correct quand même, l'équipe ne s'en plaint pas.

This laminator is a great product overall and is one of the best we've used. The quality of the construction used when making this unit is very sturdy and is a solid machine. It dosn't jam, it dosn't break down, and it works each and every time you need to laminate.We've used this unit for approx. 2 years and there are a few drawbacks to owning this model. First is the excess laminate that gets wasted when you first start a new lamination. There is approx. an 8 1/2" X 11" piece of laminate that is left over after each job, and needs to be cut off and discarded. Second, loading a new roll of laminate can be quite difficult. It's not that easy and can be quite confusing if you don't know what you're doing. I would highly recommend watching the video on how to change the laminate. Also, The heat shield on the front leaves a little to be desired. It takes some wiggling and proper placement to get this thing to stay on, but once on, everything is good. Make sure that the unit is cooled down before attempting to load. I made that mistake once after removing the heat shield, and got burned. (Not bad, but it was enough to make you say ouch for a day). The cost of the replacement laminate can be a drawback as well, but overall, for the price,(approx $75 per roll) you're getting a lot more laminate per roll than you would if you had to purchase boxes of the individual laminate sheets.Other than that, I would highly recommend this product to any small business or home office. It's WAAAAAAY better than having to use those stupid laminate sheets that you have to load one sheet one at a time. With the GBC EZload, you can laminate 50 sheets without stopping. It's fast and easy to use! Once you get the hang of it, this machine will be the last laminator you'll ever have to buy.
