Elisabeth in IL Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I need one. What is the best one to get? I don't want a super expensive one but I don't want one that will break after one use like the Scotch TL901 that I bought from Amazon last October did!! I'm steaming over that....:angry: :cursing: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemongoose Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 i have this one. not sure if this is *expensive...i got it cheaper at costco. anyway, it works great, never jams, always looks perfect, and i have used it a lot over the last 2 years. it still works as well as the day i took it out of the box. http://www.amazon.com/GBC-HeatSeal-12-5-Inch-Laminator-1702770/dp/B001B09626/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1330360155&sr=8-1 */sorry for the lack of caps...nak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Well, I was all set to recommend the TL901. I bought it when amazon had that really good deal (it was practically free!) over a year ago. It is working great, and I use it all the time. Sorry you got a dud.

Elisabeth in IL Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Thank you. I called my Sam's club and they have one that is $99 and sounds like it will work great!!! I hadn't even thought to look there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine definitely is not!! I used it once when it first arrived and then went to use it last night for the first time since then and it just didn't work. I went on the Amazon web site and a lot of the poor ratings were experiences just like mine. It appears that if it works, it works fine but if it doesn't, it breaks on the 2nd or 3rd time. Very frustrating!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elisabeth in IL Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 I am going to try but the paperwork gives it only a 30 day limited warranty. My biggest problem is that I need to use it today or tomorrow. I won't get a replacement from Scotch in time for this project so I have to purchase a different one regardless. I'll let you know what they say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elisabeth in IL Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 I called. We'll see what happens. They said that I should expect a label in 7 to 10 business days. I'm to ship it to them and then their lab will look it over, either fix it and send it back or send me a new one. They could not tell me how long it will take. I could be waiting weeks to months...... In the meantime I need to purchase a different one so that I can do my project. I may have a new one to give to someone in need. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might find out how much it would cost to have your current project professionally laminated. We have a gaming store in town that does *great* laminating work at a low cost. I know some libraries, teacher stores and office supply stores do laminating too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
