I love this new press! I am very happy with my upgrade. If you are thinking of upgrading like I did, I hope this review helps you in your decision on what press to get. I have the original press so I have something to compare to. Pressure control- The original had its default pressure control but I was finding myself using my manual press for things like slates. This one i can control it, if I need less or more. Note for most items you will need 170. (It's in the manual) by default it's set at 50. You will need to adjust this before you press the 1st time. The tray- It pulls out all the way! While the original it pulled out most of the way, this one pulls out all the way for easier placement. It also gives you a little click when you push in so you can hear when it's pushed back all the way. Note it will also beep at you if you try to start it when it's not all the way. Controls- it's got a easy to use control panel, and a included "cheat sheet" right under it so if you forget what to hit, it's right there. Like the original you can set default settings. I like the adjustable screen it makes it so much easier to keep a eye on the timer. Quick to heat up- this one seems to heat up a bit faster. Though I didn't time it. Footprint - the footprint is pretty much the same, though it's taller. Weight- my complaint with the 1st one, when the tray was all the way out, if you pushed to hard it tipped. It was a little to light. (Though really easy to move). This one they have fixed it. This baby is heaaavvvvyyyyy. I don't feel like I am going to tip it over like the original. But this one I won't be moving around like i do the original. The only thing this is missing is a larger size. I wish they would come out with a 16x20 option. For a automatic press, this is definitely worth the upgrade.

I had the original auto press for 3 years and decided to upgrade. This unit is great! On average the time I need to press my substrates and the temperature have decreased. Everything comes out clear. Give yourself time to learn the settings for this unit and make sure to write them down. Recommend.

Habe die Presse nach einer retour wegen defekt neu bestellt und bekommen habe ich eine gebrauchte mit kaputten Stecker

With a small decorated apparel business we offer a few heat transfer products and have been using a large industrial Hotronics brand press for years. At 15 years old it’s a workhorse but has no automatic press or lift, is entirely metal and a little heavy which can really add up if you are going to run 200 presses in a row or have a mobile business. Still it’s hard to justify an almost $2000 cost to upgrade to get some of the automatic features and benefits of the newer industrial machines. But finding this has haves us literal headaches this past month when we had a surge of transfer orders! If you’re a hobbyist or one person business and can make the cost back in 1 month or less, just get it- it’s perfect for small batches. Speaking from a small industrial scale (several workers, running about 1-250 transfers depending on the week, and currently using industry-standard brand for a press) here’s why I love this little gadget: 1) AUTOMATIC!!!! Holy heck have I have literally saved myself so much physical pain in the past month. Our old machine has no lift or support so not having to use any force while cranking out shirts really allows us to get more done with less strain on our shoulders and arms from repetitive movements. 2) The COST!! I dare you to find anything in the market that is has as many new upgrade features and automation At this price, it is less than a THIRD of the cost of the automated Hottronics brand and at least for apparel it has as much heat and pressure as you could need. Also no need to pay freight and worry you won’t love it- this is gonna show up in a couple of days and worst case you can still return it without too much curfuffle. 3) Speed- it’s likely that our older machine is just way slower than anything newer but in 5 minutes you’ll be up and running and at temp. Even better, when we need to lower the heat for polyester, give it a bit and it’s good to go. 4) Not so heavy you can’t mobilize it- don’t get me wrong this this is still a chonky piece of machinery (think desktop tower weight and overall size) - if you have a cart it would be a great option for taking it to shows or events although to lift it does require some old fashion muscle. ~Potential~ downsides: These aren’t deal breakers just things to keep in mind depending on the size or type of businesss you have 1) not able to dress the platen. 😬 professionally this keeps us from using it with anything that has buttons or zippers because to use a silicon mat or pillow between those layers is just slower than dressing the platen old fashion style. It’s still perfect for tees sweatshirts and other items that don’t really require it but would appreciate if the slide mechanism could be adjusted in the next iteration 2)Overly safe? The automatic off may have a changeable setting but this machine will shut down when not in use and if you step away to have a convo. Maybe you’re running a booth and have 15 min between orders it’s a little annoying to have it need to warm back up. Could I check the instructions, yes, will I …maybe in another month when we get very annoyed at that 🤣. It is not a complete loss though as it does give us peace of mind knowing we won’t ever burn our shop down because we forgot to turn it off 3) long term durability- I see no reason we won’t use this little beast for years BUT with the shell being plastic I expect that may discolor over time from the heat and could eventually start to become brittle. Because the pressure is mechanical and not a lever or pnuematic, this could also weaken faster and have less ability to be fixed or adjusted to compensate by the user. But the thing is, it’s 1/3 of the cost of the other press choices with these features so I am more than willing to just purchase again because that also means I have a chance to upgrade to newer features sooner. I do think this machine is a very nice quality for crafters, sole owner businesses and even shops like ours who do more work but not as frequently. We mainly stick in the vinyl, DTF , and EPT transfers for apparel so I can’t speak to sublimation settings or hard surfaces. 4) Size- this is every so slightly smaller than our industrial press so we are limited to that 12” space but that does cover 99% of our work - just something to keep in mind for those really big prints Again, I had to write this review because we all are so impressed with this machine even as a team who has used industrial level equipment. I will absolutely look forward to new items this company makes and would love to see a side by side automatic press!!
