It was a little difficult to use this machine. The instructions were not as helpful to complement. Also the holes to screw in weren't aligning correctly.
Bought this as a replacement for another brand heat press with a control unit that failed on me right in the middle of making Christmas gifts :o(
Price was excellent. Delivery was amazing - it was at my door in a couple of days and I was back up and crafting within a very short time. Well packaged. Temperature was right on - I checked with an infrared thermometer. Nicely made. Set up was easy. Only "complaint" is directions were a little "foggy" regarding turning off the timer sound. After a little experimenting I figured it out. I am very pleased with my purchase so far!
I love this heat pressor. It heats up quickly I think. Good T-shirt sublimation and mugs as well. I haven't tried other things. Their customer service was very good as well. I had a damaged part. They responded quickly but package wrap for shipping the new part wasn't good. They need to better other wise it will be damaged again in the process of shipping. Overall I am satisfied.
If you are wanting to do vinyl press on anything, invest in this. It's a bit more, but it's worth the money you'll save by not wasting vinyl or items that get messed up by other presses and it's versatile enough to get almost everything done.
I looked at several heat presses from several vendor's and couldn't make a decision based on what I was reading. Vevor had a unit the size I needed for most of my work and at a really great price.
I must say that we are very pleased with this heat press. Dead dog reliable and heats evenly. It does all we need it yo do and I am glad we didn't spend what some are charging for a simple heat press. Controls are digital and the timer is great!
I would highly recommend this effective and economical press for heating kydex!
