Venus 125 Laminator
Positives: Very good-looking laminator. White and silver in color and very clean looking. Super-fast warm-up time. Lamination speed is very fast. Negatives or opportunities for improvement: It would be nice to have the icons printed on the laminator; there's just a black background and it's difficult to see the power button. Would also be nice to have a slightly larger opening for the silver flip down panel (maybe my fingers are just big!). Also, if there were adjustable paper guides built in to guide the pouch into the laminator. That way you ensure the pouch enters the laminator correctly.

Very Selfish!
Retired and purchased the Venus 2 125 strictly for myself. I have been using this for some 4 months now and love everything about. I clean the rollers after each use. "You take care of your equipment, it will take care of you!" A beautiful, and easy to operate laminator! SemperFi!

Best Laminator available...
I consider this review a 'no brainer'. Why? First off, you are dealing with a time proven company.. Fellowes .. Not only does this company have high quality products that stand the test of time and have been doing it for years, they believe in their products and stand behind then with quick responses to any questions you may have and are there if you ever need them. This Venus2 125 Laminator has the fastest warm-up time, no more concern as to what thickness pouches you are using. Everything is automatic and the final product comes out picture perfect every time without any bubbles or any other imperfections. The unit is very well built, solid and good looking. I can't say enough about this laminator.. GET IT you WON'T be disappointed..

great office laminator!
I just replaced a GBC office laminator that didn't last long with the Fellowes Venus 2 - 125. I have done several jobs and it is very easy to use and works great!

Top Notch Laminator
The laminator is so easy to use and has it's own self features, to save time when laminating. Quaility of the laminated documents are so smooth and looks so professional. Better than any I have seen.

Venusâ¢2 125 -- A Laminator Deserving Loads of Laurels
My first experience using a Fellowes product, and I must say I am impressed with the overall build quality of the Venus 2 125 laminator that I purchased. It has been performing flawlessly. Moreover, it appears that Fellowes is not just satisfied with creating and designing quality products that work well, but they are paying attention to bringing to market products of superior aesthetic appearance as well. Bravo, Fellowes!!

The Cadillac of Laminators!
After trying several laminators; my company purchased the Fellowes Venus 2 125 laminator and this is the best of all! It has a reverse to help with any jams or misaligned sheets. When the first one developed a squeak; your customer service came through with not only courteous replies, but quickly too! I got the replacement within a week and I am up and running again. Thank you for your outstanding customer service and excellent products. I highly recommend this laminator for any company small or great!

New to laminating, seems like a nice machine.
Seems like a nice fairly heavy duty machine. Kind of a fancy design compared to more mechanical brands. First few sheets worked great.

Venus2 125 Laminator
WOW !! Great machine, I am yery happy with my purchase of the Fellowes Venus laminator. I was looking for a machine capable of laminating 11x17 stock. This macine does that and more. It is fast!!! I can laminate a 11x17 schematic in as little as 12 secs. It seals the entire page with no bubbles or edges curling up. It will help me save time doing large volume jobs. I also like the fact that I don't have to adjust the machine for different size paper or laminating sheet thickness. It also looks cool!! I would definately suggest this machine if someone needs to buy a laminator.

Excellent Laminator, Crystal-Clear Pouches!
I purchased the Fellowes Venus 2 125 laminator for my small business. It heats up quickly and laminates beautifully! The Venus 2 has many convenient features, such as automatically detecting the thickness of the lamination sheets, and auto reverse in case you encounter a jam (which I have not yet with this machine). This laminator came with samples of Fellowes laminating pouches which were crystal clear after use - much better than the generic laminating pouches that I had always purchased. I'll be purchasing the Fellowes laminating pouches from now on to help make my documents look their best!

Superb laminator
It's an ideal laminator and you probably don't want to go back to another one. Once you use them, you'll see the difference with common, cheap laminators. It's fast and with a really good result. I like the design of the Proteus most, but this one looks nice too. Absolutely recommendable.

Performs well but noisy
The laminator is easy to use and the laminated items look good when completed. The only negative is it is much louder than I expected.

Fast, easy laminating
It takes a little getting used to the way the machine cycles while it is warming up and learning when to push the “standby” button. The machine beeps when it is ready for 3mil material. It has additional lights that come on one at a time as it heats up to receive thicker material. It can laminate up to 10 mil thick pouches. It automatically senses the thickness of the pouch. There are markings on the front of the machine to aid in guiding your pouch into the feeding slot. There is a little arrow marking the center and then guidelines to the right and left of center for different sized items. You have to be careful to feed the pouch in straight. There is nothing to butt the pouch up against to keep it straight, so you have to slowly and gently slide it into the machine while holding it straight. You have to be sure to push the item to be laminated up against the sealed edge of the pouch, which is the edge you feed into the machine first. Otherwise you will no doubt jam the machine and have a mess. It does, however, have a reverse function just in case of a jam. The machine does a very nice smooth lamination. I have used it on regular paper and on card stock in various sizes so far with good results.
This laminator has 6 rollers and will accept up to a 12.5 inch wide item. It heats up very fast, 30 to 60 seconds, and it feeds the pouch through faster than most lesser-priced laminators.
Fellowes offers different sized pouches and also a combination pack of 5 different sizes so you can laminate smaller items without a lot of waste. It is recommended that you use Fellowes brand pouches in this machine.

Great for Hoome use
This is a great work horse for a small home business. I've been using this machine for the past year in my business. It has finally stopped working after many hours of tireless support and 12 people using it for medium jobs that should have been used on a larger machine. I've enjoyed this machine and will be ordering another soon.

Fed Up
I bought this in Dec 2015, It is now June 2016 and my machine no longer works. It beeps continuously and doesn't heat up. This is also the second machine I've received because the first one they sent me with no charging cord or any information and it was broken straight out of the box. Definitely won't be buying it again.

Best Laminator
I purchased the Venus™2 125 Laminator 2 weeks ago and have used it non-stop with no issues. I've used different pouch thicknesses' with no jams or issues. I like that there is minimal wait time for warm-up and processing. Best desktop laminator I've used in a long time.

Replacement for the Voyager 125
I recently purchased the Venus2 125 to replace the voyager 125 I have had for many years. The new machine heats up quickly and laminates wonderfully. Too soon to tell about the reliability but if it is a tough as the Voyager I will have no complaints. Great machine so far.

Better Quality projects
I have three different Fellowes laminators, but this one is my absolute favorite. I can laminate all of my projects quickly and efficiently, and I've received compliments on all of them. I'm not a professional at this, but it appears to be an expensive type of work. I highly recommend it; it will make your projects so much easier.

Staff love how fast it heats up!
We upgraded due to our 6+ year old Fellowes laminator was making a horrible noise. I decided to pay a little more to get a faster heating cycle and am so happy I did! Easy to use, fast to heat up - I couldn't ask for more. Staff have thanked me again and again!
