This was a great purchase!!! It worked great for pressing my vinyl on to shirts and pants!!! The instructions were easy to follow which is a plus!!! It even came with a t-shirt and things to press onto the shirt to do a test run!!! Great value for the money!!!
This press was pretty good in value for the price and for a beginner crafter. There have been some minor maintenance issues such as the push down lever metal strips and needs to be oiled to prevent the shavings, almost immediately after purchase. As pictured above the Heat/Time controller cracked from use and high pressure. Today, the controller cut off randomly while pressing and would not come back on. I have a electrician background and figured I'd take a look, all the internal parts seemed fine. I'm extremely disappointed that this item stopped working in only 13months.
Heat press is smaller than I thought, but it works, heats up fast, a little difficult to program, directions are horrible. But, with common sense and a general knowledge of electronics, you should be fine.
The only thing I would suggest is to incorporate a clamp of some sort on the hat press to keep the hat in place. I use small metal clips to keep my hats in place and works well. Otherwise I am very happy with the press and all the options it comes with!!
SHIPPING: took about 4 days to be delivered.QUALITY: 8.5 out of 10RECOMMEND: yesWORKED: yes as it shouldEASY TO USE: yesHEAT: heats up fastUSAGE: easy to use and learnDid some looking around before I decided to go with this machine. Was going to get on $100 more but I didn_ want to spend the extra money on something about the same. FEDEX delivered. Arrived with no damage. And worked fine when plugged in.
I received a defective product with my first shipment. I was very disappointment that the temperature would not heat up correctly on my press (temp stayed at 65 degrees and would not increase). I contacted the seller and they were great to work with. They agreed to send me a new product and resolved my issue in a timely manner. I have not received my new press yet, but will update once I do. I know that if anything is wrong, the company will go above and beyond to make it right.
