I have been using a toaster oven to do my tumblers and while it works great, it's too time consuming and has it's risks. This press is a game changer for me. Heats up quickly and gets my tumblers perfect in 90s. So glad I made the decision to get this one. There is a smell, but it's to be expected with a new product and of course sublimation has a smell anyways. I am beyond please with this press.
