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)

The Fellowes Neptune 3 Office Laminator is a dream come true for me. I've always wanted a laminator but never took the step to purchase one of my own. I don't even want to think about all the money I've spent having my projects professionally laminated when I could have been doing it myself at home. The Fellowes Neptune 3 Office Laminator is easy to use. I love the convenient desktop size. The on/off button is easily acessible on the back of the machine with the controls on the front. The control buttons light up, which makes them clear and visable. The control panel is a touch screen with different colors for each button. There's a handy removeable exit tray that catches the finished project. This particular Fellowes Laminator is capable of laminating pouches 7 mil thick. It heats up in just 60 seconds and takes only 30 seconds to complete a lamination job. The auto-reverse is a must for me. If I get in a bigger hurry than is really necessary, the auto/reverse protects any project that isn't fed into the laminator correctly. And the auto shut-off prevents over-heating. Another must for me! Quick and simple professional lamination at home!

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 found the Fellowes Neptune3 125 Advanced 4-roller Laminator to be a fantastic product. It is a technological breakthrough. It is such a nice machine, I initially thought that the Laminator would be complicated to use. It has all the bells and whistles, blinking lights when it is ready and the option of hot and cold lamination. Even with all these extras, the Laminator is a dream to use. It is ready to use almost instantly and operates with just the push of a button. It is also whisper quiet. The laminated objects come out perfectly. From the very first thing I tried, it worked great. It automatically adjusts to several settings for different thicknesses of pouches from 3 mil. to 7 mil. It takes the worry and guess work out of it, for you. We started with some very old photographs that are irreplaceable. I am so excited with the Laminator. The possibilities are endless. The Laminator is a nice, very sturdy machine. That is one of the reasons I like it. That being said, I must mention it is a little on the heavy side. I am a 61 year old woman, and it is pretty heavy for me. You would want to put it in a stationary place and not move it very often.

I never had a laminater before and wanted to test this product out. It was packaged securely with tape and plastic. Once I got it all together, I checked the instructions to set it up. It comes with laminating pouches and feed tray. At first, the instructions were difficult to read, since I only saw pictures, but found the step-by-step instructions to go with the photos. I inserted my business cards and flyers into the pouch and feed it through the laminater and soon had a warm sheet of laminated cards! I was impressed on how easy the process was and look forward to laminating more stuff! Great for outdoor flyers or homemade business cards. It can also do cold laminating, but doesn't say what's that for.

We just replaced our old Fellowes Jupiter 125 laminator that lasted for 4 - 5 years under moderate office use. The AutoSense on the Neptune model is a great idea. Easy to setup and use. Just puttin "Average" for the "Performance or Durability" rating yet as it is new, but if it performs as well as it's predecessor it'll be a decent unit.
