Review on πŸ”² We R Memory Mold Press Vacuum in White by American Crafts by Kim Sanchez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great quality machine but annoying tank situation

There haven't been many reviews posted on this machine so I think it's fair to the manufacturer that they have posted another unfairly negative review so far Unfortunately, this has not been done by someone who hasn't read the instructions or the YouTube videos. It's actually a good kit and compares well to its closest competitor, the Mayku Formbox, which costs 5-10 times more. There are also homemade laser cut vacuum formers that can be found in this price range, but they typically don't include a heating element and require cumbersome oven time. The results are reasonable. My only problem with this model was this: some devices, such as printers and cutting plotters bind you to the use of manufacturer supplies. When I bought this I figured I could get supplies anywhere and not be tied to WRMK products. Turns out it's half true, but they did something mean. Normally this type of plastic is sold in 6 inch or 1 foot square sheets, but this machine requires 6.75 inch sheets! So if you buy regular sheets, you need to buy 1ft square sheets and can only use 6.75" x 6.75" sheets. (If you don't use the full 6.75 inches, you won't get a vacuum seal). So you *can* buy cheaper materials, but you only get to use 25% of them! Very sneaky. But other than that - highly recommended and good value for money. (Disclosure - I didn't buy mine here, but it was the same car). Normally this type of plastic is sold in 6 inch or 1 foot square sheets, but this machine requires 6.75 inch sheets!

Excellent value machine, but unfortunate refill situation
