I bought this to start making shirts and whatnot with screen prints or my cameo. I bought an infrared thermometer to confirm the temp after scorching a pair of jeans. Welp turns out it’s in Celsius and I couldn’t figure out how to change it and so it was significantly higher temperature than it should have been. But now I check the temp of the plate and I have no issues. The pressure is great the timer works great. Must be plugged into an outlet no power strips. Once I learned the press I’ve had no issues. Great for beginners!
