This review is based on my first use.The instructions for setting the heat are pretty straight forward after you've worked out that the first press of the button is to set a minimum temperature and not the actual temperature you need - that is the 2nd press. I also took on board what other reviewers had said about the timer being way too fast so I timed it and for me mine is perfect.The instructions tell you best pressure for heat press, and swivelling pressure adjustments but I have yet to come to grips with them as the instructions are very basic, as it happens whatever the machine came as was the perfect setting for sweatshirts, I can see how to adjust the pressure but I cannot see where to take the measurement in millimetres.You have to be careful when swinging the top plate out of the way because there is a tipping point, if you swing it out of the way too much the machine will topple, it is not a major problem because just before that tipping point is still plenty wide enough for it to be safely be out of the way.It is a really good size for not taking up much space, I have to store mine when not in use and it fits perfectly on top of my filing cabinet.Also the temperature is in Fahrenheit and in the uk most HTV instructions are in celsius so just a minor thing to take into account.The cable is not very long which for me was awkward for reaching the socket, it reached but bear in mind that when you swing the top plate out of the way it will need more cable, also the cable went across the front of the press due to where my sockets are placed which was a bit annoying when trying to get my garment on the press, I will definitely have to use an extension next time for better ease of use.However, It pressed great, right up to the edges and very evenly. A great bit of kit for the money, it won't take me long to recoup what I would have spent getting someone else to do my uniforms for my staff, especially since I use glitter HTV which can be expensive too. I recommend this product for hobbyist or people just dipping there toes in HTV waters. I will add to my review as I use the machine more, there are a few niggles that I have pointed out but it does not detract from the end result which is great!
