Are you debating on whether or not you would use a laminator at home? Consider these uses: photos, certificates, artwork, recipes, manuals, chore charts, business cards, game cards, waterproofing, assignment directions, cleaning schedules, calendar pages, worksheets to reuse, flash cards, signs for a yard sale or school event, etc. I think you will have no trouble finding tons of uses for this handy little appliance. It won't take up much space at only 15" x 4" x 4". This is the type of laminator that uses plastic film pouches up to 9" wide. In fact, the machine comes with a pack of 20 9" pouches so you can immediately get happily plastic-coating all your papers! ~ Sara
