About Purple Cows Hot and Cold 9" Laminator
Overall Feedback:
72% positive
83% praised the crystal-clear lamination, but 17% experienced bubbles
I suggest using cold lamination for pictures to prevent them from getting ruined and hot lamination for all other projects. Hot sticks together better, but cold does a good job too.
I faced a problem with the laminating pockets getting stuck and melting in the laminator.
I found that the machine cannot handle card stock with photo and mats.
74% praised the easy maintenance, while 26% experienced frequent jamming issues
I initially loved the laminator, but after using it for only 25 sheets, it became difficult to guide the sheets through and eventually got stuck. My husband had to take it apart to get it out. I don't have 30 minutes in my average week to devote to keeping this thing up and running.
I am unsure if the laminator is getting too hot and causing the laminate to exit with a weird bend and not following the correct path.
I noticed that the product is making a louder grinding sound, indicating a maintenance issue.
80% appreciated the quiet operation, although 20% found it noisy
I have noticed that the laminator is making a louder grinding sound, indicating it may be noisy to operate.
On the 8th piece, the laminator got jammed.
The rollers always fail and can damage the stuff gradually until it becomes hot enough to start a fire.
73% praised the smooth paper feeding, while 27% experienced paper jams
It works best with very thin paper.
If laminating thin paper, use a carrier piece of cardstock to prevent wrinkles.
I was disappointed with the machine's handling of thicker papers like card stock with photos and mats.
The laminator is eating up paper as it goes through the rollers.

76% liked the compact design
I faced creasing issues when using smaller sleeves, but resolved it by putting a small sleeve between two pieces of plain paper and running it through the machine.
The machine is smaller than I thought and doesn't take up much storage space.
The laminator is lightweight, easy to store and comes with pouches in 3 sizes.
71% appreciated the fast lamination speed, although 29% experienced jamming issues
I have noticed that this laminator is not the fastest, but it's not the slowest I've seen either.
72% liked the consistent heat settings, but 28% experienced temperature fluctuations
I faced creasing issues when using smaller sleeves.
I have noticed that this laminator is not suitable for preserving simple scrapbook layouts, kids school artwork, and general paper crafting. Additionally, it stopped laminating anything thicker than the lightest weight card stock.
