Fellowes Neptune3 125 Advanced 4-roller Paper Laminator

The Fellowes Neptune3 125 Laminator is really a great step up for my home. One of the best features of the Neptune3 is that it is ready to laminate in one minute. My old unit took about 5 minutes! The ability to laminate standard size paper up to 11”x17” is a fantastic feature for preserving documents or large presentation projects. This laminator auto senses the thickness of the laminating pouch. The directions state that the unit will properly laminate pouches 3mm to 7mm thick. It does recommend that the use of 3mm, 5mm, or 7mm pouches for optimal performance. Basically the operation consist of plugging in the unit, turning on the main power switch in the rear of the unit, the push the on button in the front and wait for the unit to signal ready. All that is left to do is place your chosen document in the appropriate pouch and feed into the laminator. Honestly, the hardest part of setting up the unit was putting on the wire exit tray. Hint: Place in the slot just below the laminate exit slit and press down firmly. I have been favorably impressed with the ease and speed of operation. This unit is perfect for my needs, but should you wish to use thicker than 7mm laminating pouches: Fellowes has an entire line of laminators named after planets and a couple of them can use thicker pouches. I would recommend this laminator for home or small office users.

If you are looking for a home office laminator, you should seriously consider the Fellowes Neptune3 125 Laminator. With dimensions of 4.5"x20"x6.75," it fits easily on most desks or work-spaces. Not only is it easy to set up and use, I was surprised by how quiet it was. It warms up and is ready to use in right at a minute, and it's surprisingly fast, and can laminate documents or project up to 12.5 inches. Self-adjusting it can laminate pouches up to 7 mil thick, offers a choice of either hot or cold lamination, and will laminate up to 24 inches a minute. The reverse feature allows you to easily eject the project, if there is ever a need to re-center or remove it completely. It will automatically move into its sleep mode and then into standby should you fail to turn it off, but all you have to do is hit the power button and it will be up and running again in less than a minute. Fellowes Heat Guard Technology helps keep the system cool to the touch. Also has carrying handles and an tray that will hold your finished work, keeping it flat. The carrying handle makes it easy to move if the need arises. I would highly recommend this laminator.

The Fellowes Neptune 3/125 Laminator is a very well-made and solid unit. It weighs 14 pounds and is 4.5" high 20" long and 6.75 deep. It has a 1200 watt heating unit and uses 10 amps of 120V 60 Hz Ac power. The laminator is very easy to use and understand. The Neptune 3/125 comes with a feature refereed to as "Auto Sense". This system automatically detects the laminating pouch thickness and the self-adjusts the unit for optimal results. It will except laminating pouch thickness from 3 mil to 7 mil. Maximum entry width is 12.5 inches. Arrows on the front loading slot are set for Photo,Letter and menu/A3. Simply line up the laminating pouch with the arrows and apply gentle initial feeding pressure and the rest is automatic. The completed laminated document is now delivered to the exit tray located on the back of the unit.The exiting tray protrudes from the back of the machine by 10 and one quarter inches. You will need approximately 16 and 1/2 inches of desk or shelf space to allow for the width of the unit and the exit tray. The Neptune 3/125 has a Reverse Function,Sleep Mode,Heat Guard and Auto Hot/Cold selector button that lets you toggle between hot and cold laminating. This is an office grade laminator and is well made and thought out. As with all heat activated laminators the unit is warm to the touch after use. When the unit is initially turned on the standby button will glow blue. By pressing the stand-by button the Auto Display light will come on. The Auto Display button will turn solid in color and you will hear a beep when the laminator is ready for use. Lamination is a heating process and after your document has been laminated it will remain warm to the touch for a few minutes.The machine has an automatic cool down feature and you can hear a high pitched fan noise for the duration of this cool down cycle. This is the only negative feature of the unit otherwise the machine is very quiet. I would highly recommend the Neptune 3/125 laminator for anyone in the market for a well-designed,feature rich,office quality, heavy duty laminator.

After receiving the Fellowes Neptune3 125 Advanced 4-Roller Laminator. It was better than I expected. I read directions to set up. Only took a few minutes. True to its ad, it warmed up in 1 minute. I used a few pouches from the included Laminating Starter Pack. It did a beautiful job of laminating my Warranty Card and a sign for my Pool House in the back yard. Trimmed both to size and was very pleased with the outcome. There are unlimited uses for this machine. I would recommend this to anyone. I was kind of tired going to the office supply store to pay for laminating my items. I give this one 5 Stars!!

I was so excited to receive this product-- we have been wanting to get one of these for awhile for all my kids artwork and some other documents we have. It was very easy to use, simply power on and feed the plastic packaging through with your document inside. The one thing I would advise is giving it time to heat up all the way, otherwise you will have to re-feed your documents to ensure the entire thing is sealed. I would definitely recommend this product for multiple uses (Personal, office, etc)

I am a retired public school teacher. I always wanted a laminator when I was teaching. You can find so many different ways to use a laminator in a classroom environment. However, I was thrilled to get the Fellowes Neptune3 125 Advanced 4-roller Laminator for my home. It is compact, lightweight and the instructions are so easy to follow. There are laminating sheets included in the package. I was amazed at how easy it was to operate! I especially like how fast the Neptune 3 gets ready to laminate. The laminated sheets slide out easily in back onto a metal arm that can be detached when you are not using it. The laminated sheets are slightly warm to the touch but cool quickly. I can use this machine to keep precious photos or papers protected through time. I laminated some of my grandchildren's artwork so I can display them on my refrigerator over and over again without them getting torn or tattered! Next holiday season I plan to laminate my grandchildren's decorations so they can be used year after year and passed on to the next generation. I am absolutely thrilled to have the Fellowes Neptune3 125 Laminator in my home! The possibilities are endless! Now I must put laminating sheets on my shopping list.

The Fellowes Neptune3 125 Laminator is wonderful product! As an old die hard adhesive laminator user this product is a God send. Since I have never used a laminator of this type the instructions were very easy and simple to understand. Plus the auto set feature certainly takes the complication out of it. The results from using the 3 mill pockets were outstanding and impressive. Looks professionaly done. Cool down time is more that acceptable and really doesn't get that hot. This particular model (Neptune) takes pouches up to 7 mil thick and that's impressive! I look forward to using it with the heavy pouches. The complementary pouches 3 mill was more than adequate to try this machine out and I used a lot of them on large photos and other documents. I would recommend this product to anyone! Preserve you valuable documents and photos with this machine and you will never regret it! One thing I would like to see is a tray in the front to stably feed the pouches in. This would make it much easier to feed if you have a pouch with multiple items in it.

I have always wanted my own laminating machine. All I have ever been able to laminate myself was something the size of a drivers license with those little laminating sheets available at the store. Anything larger I always had to take to be professionally done. Well no more. The Neptune3 only takes a minute to warm up and then it is ready to use. It will laminate 24 inches in a minutes time. It will detect the thickness of item you are laminating and self adjust so you get the perfect lamination. It is a great addition to my home office. Whether you are laminating documents, pictures, craft projects it has a hot and cold laminate choice as to not damage photos or other priceless documents. Very stylish and only weighs about 10 lbs. I find myself just looking for things to laminate now because this is so easy. As an avid reader I can create my own bookmarks or erasable grocery lists. I received this from the Spark reviewer program and I just love it!

I am reviewing Fellowes Neptune3 125 Laminator . The laminator was larger than I anticipated, almost like you would see in a copy store. It came with a package of laminating sheets. Its fairly heavy and does take up space. The first time that I used it was only laminating a few small ID type cards so I cut off some of the laminating material to save the rest to save the rest of the paper. I cut off the folded end which was a big mistake. The laminating paper and the ID cards got jammed into the machine. It was entirely my fault. It looks like you need to always keep the folded part and that needs to go into the machine first. When I tried again with just the 2 little cards there was no enough weight for the cards to move through. I took it apart and put a 1/4 sheet of paper near the fold and the cards below. That worked! If you follow the directions it runs fine. It is not something that children should operate as it gets quite hot.

I have never laminated anything before. So...it was a learning experience. The directions are vague at best, but common sense takes over and all comes out well. I was surprised how much room it took to laminate a document of normal size. I had to take out my card table, and it took up most of it on the diagnoal. There was hardly any waiting time for the machine to get document ready. At that point it is simply a matter of putting the pouch in the slot and wait. The surprising flimsyness of the pouch makes it hard to handle and keep your document in place. Practice will take care of that I suspect. It does come out crisp and clear, easy to read. The packaging for the pouches is ridiculous. These are very slippery and are not conatined at all. Be prepared to pick them up often or place them in a folder. If one had a lot of laminating to do, then the use justifies the price.
