1. I use Amazon 5mm sheets. The sheets are around $10 for a pack of one hundred. The $10 price is only through the week. Amazon jacks up the price to $13 on the weekends. This year I have gone through 12 packs. The sheets are reliable and hold up well.
2. There is a learning curve to the sheets. Each sheet has a curve to it. Place the laminate sheets into the machine with the curve facing down. I had to learn this the hard way...after ruining hundreds of sheets. See my photos to get a better idea. The photos show the curve facing up, followed by the curve facing down. The next photos show bent, curved, damaged sheets after placing the sheets in with the curve facing up. The next picture shows crisp, smooth sheets that were placed in downward. The sheets that are down-facing, go through the machine without any problems. My sheets do not have curved, bent ends anymore after using this method. The machine also does not jam paper anymore.
3. This machine is not fast. It works and it works well, however, after making hundreds of laminate items... this will take you an hour or more to complete a pack of 50-60 sheets. This does not bother me... it may bother you... I have a machine that is a third of price of others and it works just as well. However, if you are about speed, this is not your machine.
Lastly, the quality of the product cannot be under sold. This is an amazing laminate machine. I no longer worry about, when I will have time to run to the teacher store, or if the location is convenient.
I hope this helps!

Some general feedback on it. It takes about 5-7 minutes to heat up. Since I'm not a heavy user, this is definitely not an issue for me. It has a weird burning smell when it's heating up. Again, since I'm not a heavy user, this is not a problem. I don't know if this smell will burn off after time or not. I've had other electronics with this scent that it burns off after so many uses and others where it stays.
The amazon sheets work really well with it. I'm definitely happy with this laminator, and would purchase it again should a need arise.
