Customer Reviews for VEVOR Coil Spiral Binding Machine, Manual Book Maker 34-Holes Binding 120 Sheets, Punch Binder with Adjustable Side Margin, for Letter Size, A4, A5

I'm laminating high quality photographic prints on heavy matte paper in 5mil lamination pouches to make letter size fridge magnets. The temperature fine tuning allows to find a temperature that laminates perfectly without waviness or milkiness most of the time.

I bought this in part because all the inexpensive name brand (e.g. Scotch) laminators no longer have guides; this is somehow reserved for high-end models. This doesn't have guides either, but at least it is wide enough that alignment isn't super critical for letter-size paper. It's even wide enough for 11x17 with imperfect alignment. It heats up a bit faster than my old, dead Scotch laminator. As others have noted, on the unit I received, there is no heat warning sticker on the (removable) lid over the rollers as pictured, and it gets hot enough to burn. This is basically like a conveyor toaster with heating elements that heat up two of the four rollers instead of toast, and the cover is immediately above the top heating element. So of course it gets hot. The meter doesn't display the actual temperature; it displays the temperature set by the knob, which is also labeled. The documentation says to keep it running with heat turned off to cool down until it reaches 80° (presumably C). However, even if the meter displayed actual temperature, it wouldn't help much, because the meter reads down only to 100°C — there's no way to know when it's really cool enough. So, run it for a while? Five minutes? Ten? Who knows... The documentation is relatively useless. In particular, it has inconsistent suggestions for heat settings for different film thicknesses. I found an online reference in °F and converted it to °C: 3 mil: 135°C 5 mil: 140°C 7 mil: 150°C 10 mil: 170°C So far I've tested only 3 mil but it worked fine set to 135°C. Ultimately, knowing all this I would probably buy it again, but I don't have young children who can't be trusted around hot appliances either.

It's weight just let's you know it's for real, not so.e kind of toy laminator. I bought 2 separate laminator, they smoked and never worked, got replacements,same story. This was finally the solution! Great buy

This little machine works great for the price. While the punches aren't as sharp as I would like them to be they still get the job done. I haven't had any issues so far. It's a little heavy, but that's to be expected with a large size punch. Overall it's still pretty compact and you can take the handle off to store everything easier. I appreciate that because I have very little storage space!

The assembly and set up is explained well enough and the pictures really helped in assembly, setup and binding paper. I went this route as sometimes I am not as organised as I should be and loose papers become mixed and lost. The cost was a good buing point too. A great product and organizing aid.

Package arrived early. Boxed well. The cutter works well. No damage, easy to use. Very good value for the money.

dont know why all the reviews are for laminating machines, this is for the comb binding machine sold above. 4 stars, great machine, BUT i feel the need to point out a fatal design flaw. again, the actual operation is great, but theres a carry handle hole on it. a specific hand shaped hole put there so you can grab it and carry it around. the chip try goes in the back, sliding straight in. so when you grab the handle and pick it up, as designed, the chip tray slides out and.... hopefully you emptied it before trying to move it.... otherwise you have all of the little punch outs all over the floor to clean up. i dont know how this made it past the engineers. i have a wire binding machine where the chip tray slides in from teh side (but ironically, doesnt have a carry handle slot) which would have been a simple fix for this design, but this machine, that is designed to carry back down, has a chip tray that falls out as soon as its placed back down. one more time, the machine works great, i just find this little quirk super annoying, and easily preventable with a minimal amount of common sense in the design stage.

I like how easy it was to set up the product.....dislike the product looked refurbished or not 100% new it had marks and scratches at the top also the paper holder didn't fit into the holes properly

Well working machine, instructions are a bit fuzzy but nothing YouTube can't fix. Came very nicely packaged and assembly was simple. Got many of my vintage manuals in order. Very pleased with this purchase good value for the money.
