June 25, 2017
This is a giant leap forward over the original Venus 125. This is a much more compact unit, no 'buttons' as many think of buttons just a capacitive surface. This unit automatically detects lamination page thickness making it simple for anyone to use. Heats up lightning fast and is ready for 3mil lamination in no time.Still to early to tell but if they have fixed the issue of the rollers sticking to the lamination materials thus rolling up the lamination in the unit it will be a winner, only time will tell on this issue. There is no access to the internals as there was with the original version leading me to believe this problem has been corrected but they claim you still need a roller cleaning sheet from time to time.

After the initial shock of how bad ass and sleek this thing is
August 7, 2016
So I bought this as a Christmas present for my girlfriend. I know, what? A laminator for a Christmas gift? Did she dump you? No, but she did cry. She thought she was getting an iPad for Christmas (but since her birthday is on the 31st, I got the iPad for her birthday, not Christmas).After the initial shock of how bad ass and sleek this thing is, she grew to love it. It looks like something that would come from the future and help protect you against time traveling aliens. It laminates at a couple speeds (slow and quick) and also at cold and hot.She uses it quite a bit and saves her a lot of time from having to go to teacher stores and look at people crazy who are laminating their entire classroom at once.
The "good" laminator
June 27, 2016
For years, I owned a different brand laminator that worked really well. So when it died, I replaced it with a newer one of the same brand. BIG mistake! The quality wasn't there anymore - lots of problems with the adherence of the plastic to the paper, especially once the page was cut into smaller pieces.Back to the drawing board. Read a LOT of reviews.Finally decided to give the Fellowes Laminator Jupitor 2 125 a try.The machine is noticeably heavier than the ones I have owned before and it heats up very quickly.It detects the thickness automatically and adjusts the speed accordingly.It does an excellent job. It is fast. The adherence is flawless.The starting kit includes a "roll cleaner page" that you should feed through the machine before turning it off. It also includes about 10 x 3ml pouches.I am very happy with this product and hope it will serve me for many years.

a little smelly but works well
September 21, 2017
We love this little laminator. It replaced a Venus also from Fellowes. The Venus was just beginning to run a little slow but we have been happy with it. This Jupiter 2 is definitely faster with 3 mil lamin (still slow on the 5 mil) but has a nice anti-jam feature that ensures less lost time with hang ups. There are however, 2 annoying things: When running- and its only been a couple of weeks so far- there is an awful smell. We're hoping this goes away over time but in our small office we have to open the doors and windows or someone complains. (Previous laminators did not make this smell) And when you are finished the recommended procedure is to tap the power button which makes the light begin to "pulse" rather than be on steady. This is the only indication that the machine is going into power down mode. The rollers continue to turn and make noise as the unit cools...eventually (like up to 30 minutes later) the unit turns itself off. Ive found that I have to put a note on the machine so that people know that it needs time to run and cool off before it turns off. Helpful coworkers are always unplugging the unit while it is still hot because they think someone walked off and left it running.Over all I am pleased with the purchase.

February 5, 2017
A couple of words of advice......DON'T believe that 'Rapid 30-60 Second Warm-up'....it will laminate but not well and you'll have to do it again. Let it warm up at least 5 minutes for max performance. Also...USE A CARRIER FOLDER!! I read somewhere tha this is not necessary but it definitely is. Tried without one and the glue was squeezed out on the rollers making further laminating awful until it was cleaned several times. The foler prevents this. Hope this helps.
Great Laminator!

Great, exactly as described
Super easy to use, but not as fast as I would like!
October 12, 2015
After going through two Apache AL13P laminators (broken due to user error) I realized that I needed something that didn't have a learning curve. We have a lot of volunteers coming into the office and many don't come consistently. This makes it difficult to train someone properly with some of the more "professional" laminators like the Apache. This model takes care of that issue. It pretty much runs itself. The only thing you have to worry about is getting the right sized sheets and inserting them seam first. My primary complaint is that it is pretty slow compared to our previous units.It takes ~2 minutes to laminate a 12x18 sheet of paper. I timed this because I had to laminate 35 sheets! I would not recommend this model if you are laminating dozens of copies.Pros:- User friendly- Set it and forget it- Smooth and quality laminationCons:- Slow...
Works Great Right Out of the Box
July 20, 2015
I've only used it a couple of times but works great right out of the box. Warms up in less than 60 seconds, auto detects the mil thickness. It's quiet and I really like the small tray that attaches to the back of the unit. Our previous laminator didn't have a tray and always managed to bend the job as it fell to the counter top. The only reason I did not give 5-stars is that the unit was a bit damaged on the top like someone tried to clean it excessively with alcohol-rub as some of the finish was rubbed off. It doesn't bother me enough to send it back for replacement but I would have preferred a brand new machine. Nonetheless, I'm crossing my fingers that this machine last much longer than the previous laminator. We're off to a good start.

Great machine until it stopped working approx 18 months after purchase. Working with their customer service was very simple - there is a 2 year warranty on the item and they are shipping us a replacement laminator. It should arrive in 5-7 days. 5 stars for customer service.

Quality engineering issues
August 19, 2017
This was my 3rd laminator as I had to return the (1) original one I purchased and (2) its replacement. This crapped out on me two months after the warranty expired and the manufacturer did not want to do anything about it. THIS ITEMS IS SUPPOSED TO LAST A LOT LONGER THAN 2 YEARS AT THIS PRICE POINT! (great customer service the first two times I had to have it replaced though)There is something wrong with the heating element (at least that's what I think it is). One day, it just overheated very quickly after startup and after only one or two laminates it just stopped laminating altogether. It gets light use every month at home and I don't use it for any extended period of time.Either the manufacturer needs to double the warranty or fix this continued overheating problem. I expected better customer service after the product expired only a few months after warranty expiration and especially for all the inconvenience this product has caused me.
Lasted six months

Bought this for our small office. Stopped working after six months of light use. Not sure if we are going to be able to get it fixed or have to replace.
Poor design. No infeed support but more disappointing
March 29, 2015
Poor design. No infeed support but more disappointing, there is no mechanism to keep the output flat on the way out and the frequency of "curled" docs is just unacceptable. This is not user error either as the machine has been replaced and the current machine of a different make and manf. spits out flawlessly flat stock

From the very first use I had difficulty getting anything to run through the laminator and come out the other side. It may be a fluke. I will be making a phone call to see if I can get it replaced.

This machine sucks
February 22, 2017
I so wanted to love this laminating.machine. It's beautiful and heats up very quickly. However, lamination comes out warped. I returned the first machine because i thought it ws defective, but the replacement was the same. I'll stick with my trusty Royal Sovereign laminator
Sad scanning experience
August 9, 2016
I jammed and destroyed this scanner after 3 pages.
Disappointed Like all of their other products
May 27, 2016
I bouth ths unit after my second Apache unit failed out of the box with uneven lamination. The two major faults of this unit is that the temperature control is not always accurate and the finished sheets come out mottled because of to little heat and even the good dheets came out with a bad curl to them, none of any size ever came out flat (up to 5 mil thick). i was really hoping Fellowes would have gotten it right as all the "machine" products I have gotten from them in the past have failed or disappointed me, especially their shredders (lasted maybe 3 weeks). The failures of this unit will have me sworn off all of their products for life.
Huge Disappointment!

Product broke 2 days after the return deadline! Very disappointed as we didn't even get the opportunity to use it for much. I would not recommend ordering this product.

You'll have to feed business card size sheets 1 at at a time; this Laminator has a brain.I'm going to try to combine this with a Laminator carrier to see if it's successful; if so I'll change my review.

Worked ok for about the first 3 times I used it. Laminated a few things each time. Then just stopped working. It will heat up, but the rollers don't move. And of course, I can't return it!!!!
Cheaply Made and Does Not Work!
September 13, 2017
This machine arrived while I was out of town. The first time I used it, it failed to work - roller jams, creases images and melts plastic sheets in clumps. Of course, the return window has just expired, and it seems Amazon is no longer selling this unit. So there is no way to contact the company either, which seems to be out of the US. I'm out the entire cost, not one single item laminated successfully, with no recourse!!
Don't waste your money!
August 23, 2017
It did not work! The instructions were not very clear. you need to push the paper by hand so you can't tell if it actually worked. The left side of the rollers seemed to be glued together so I can't use the 13" pockets. When I raised it up to see what was stuck a lot of little pieces of black plastic fell out. This all occurred within 15 minutes of opening it.
DO NOT BUY
November 14, 2016
The laminator ate the paper shortly after I got it. This is cheap and has not lasted 3 months. Also, I can't return it.
Looks sleek and fancy but don't waste your money
August 13, 2016
I didn't like several things. First, the bottom lays flat on the table and gets very hot underneath. Second, there's no type of tray for the paper to lay on as it goes inane the opening isn't at an angle. So if you have smaller pieces spread around that you are trying to feed into the laminator, u have to hold it up at an angle yourself until it's in enough.Another laminator I had came with a tray to hold your page as it went thru.Besides the above , the lamination was fine....until a week ago.A page is stuck and folded in on itself and is stuck inside. No part sticking out of either side. So I'm at a loss of what to doThe release only works if u can grab a part to pull out I received it on July 2 and it broke August 9. I should've bought the one from Walmart that was $20 and lasted 5+ years
This will waste your time to get wrinkled and air-bubbled lamination
February 6, 2016
Not enough heat. You need to pass many many times to get one laminating done. This will waste your time to get wrinkled and air-bubbled lamination. Don't buy this cheap one. Pay more and get better one!
