Recently, I just bought my laminator in LAZADA; one of the popular online store in the Philippines, and use it for a month so I can leave a more accurate product review.
This laminator costs about 789 pesos when I bought it (14.28$). It has free 10 pieces A4 laminating film, paper cutter, and a corner trimmer too. This is a personal laminator that design for hot and cold lamination.
The freebies:

I already tried laminating our ids and it works great but if the film is too thick; you need to put it in the laminating machine twice. It's ready to laminate when the green light is visible. The minimum thickness it can handle is 160(280)microns and the maximum is 250(2125)microns.
Its cold laminating function is a little letdown because you need to stick the film 2 inches in height the machine will only roll if you feed whatever you laminating if its only 2 inches inside and that will cause bubbles if you are not careful enough so better do it manually if you are cold laminating small items like small stickers and photos. It is good for personal use but not advisable if you'll planning to use it for business purposes(maybe good for business if you only have a few customers a day).
I am happy with this purchase overall because it serves its purpose for me except the cold laminating feature part and the freebies are very practical too.
If you are planning to buy items online; it is better to read some of the reviews first so you can see if the seller is not a scam and very careful in packing your items but sometimes there are accidents or poor handling of items in the warehouse and in the delivery that causes item damage and it is a hassle to return:refund so it is a gamble too to buy fragile and electric items online..
