A Review Of The Fellowes Mars Ml125 Pouch Laminator
One of the most basic laminators manufactured by Fellowes is the Mars ML125 Pouch Laminator
. This is a device that offers both easy operation and good results for a low cost. These things make the ML125 an excellent choice for individuals and professionals that need an affordable pouch laminator for occasional projects. However, it does have some shortcomings you must know about. Continue reading to learn all about this device's strengths and weaknesses.Strengths:
* The ML125 has a feed opening that is 12.5 inches wide. Having such a large opening ensures that you can laminate both larger documents (such as menus) in addition to standard letter-sized paper.
* This device can laminate a sheet of 8.5" x 11" paper in less than one minute, which is great. However, it does have a rather lengthy warm-up time. (See the "Weaknesses" section.)
* You can laminate photographs with this machine.
* This machine is pretty compact. It's about 20 inches wide by 7 inches deep. Due to its small dimensions, it won't take up a lot of room in your work area. Its small size also makes it possible to transport the unit easily, thanks to the addition of a built-in carrying handle.
* No carrier is required when laminating with the ML125. However, you may still want to use one to prevent your machine from being damaged by adhesive that can seep out of your laminating pouches onto the rollers of the machine.
* You can use 3 mil pouches with this device and there is only one temperature setting which really helps simplify the whole process. (Indeed, the machine is very easy to use.) However, this could be limiting, as well. (See below for more on this.)
* Jams are a rare occurrence with this machine because it has a low-friction design that ensures a smooth laminating experience.
* This product is affordable for both home and business users. The suggested retail price for the ML125 is $99.95.
Weaknesses:
* The ML125 takes up to 8 minutes to heat up, so this isn't the machine you'll want to use if you're in a hurry.
* As mentioned before, this device only has one temperature setting that makes it possible for using 3 mil pouches. The lack of other settings means you're very limited in the pouches you can use. Also, you won't be able to laminate thermally sensitive items with the ML125 because it obviously lacks a cold lamination setting. There are no adjustable speed settings either.
* Since this is a very basic laminator, it will not accept mounting boards.
Overall, the Fellowes Mars ML125 is a very basic laminator that is great if you need something for the occasional lamination of personal and professional documents. It's nice that the machine has such a large feed opening and that using it is very simple. However, there are a few limitations to this device, such as the lack of multiple temperature settings. So while this product would be good for people who want/need a basic laminator for a low price, people who desire more advanced features should choose a different laminator, such as the Fellowes Cosmic CL-125.
