Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased this scotch pro TL 906 thermal laminator about a week ago and took it for a “test drive” the tonight I got it and it worked fine. Two days later when I was trying to use it for work I turned it on and could see steam coming out and could smell a strong odor and thought maybe that’s what it does when it heats up. Seems like it’s taking a long time to heat up so I did a Google search of how long it should take for this brand and model to heat up and it said 5 to 6 minutes. After about 15 minutes I started looking at the machine because that smell was getting a much stronger and noticed on the backside close to where you put the couches and there was a black spot starting to bubble up on the plastic and the machine was basically melting itself from the inside out! It is ridiculous and I’m thankful that I stood there and watched it heat up and so forth because who knows if I had kept it plugged in if it would have caught fire or what. I would not buy this product if I were you!
