See EDIT! I just got it and I'm damn happy with it! Wanted to expand my small business and needed a heat press. For the price, these are shirts, 2 plates of different sizes, mugs and hats. Hence the 5 in 1. Simply plug in and all heaters work. Easily switch between different heating elements. Disadvantages: a little "fluctuating". If the t-shirt plate is on and you're moving too fast, it might not line up perfectly, but I'll learn with practice. You don't have to apply pressure like you would with a Cricuts heat press, so I love that it snaps into place - I just have to straighten it and lower it slowly. Showed my friend who can fix/build literally anything and there is no way to tighten it because it's rivets. He might try to pinch one of the rivets, which could tighten it. Another thing I would change is when you press the "play" button which causes the machine to reach the desired temperature - it doesn't beep to let you know and it starts the preset countdown. You have to be careful! But if you turned around, time would tick. It emits a long beep when the time is up to let you know it's time to pick it up and remove it. When I finally signed up for the 12 month guarantee I was told the site was not secure. I'm waiting for a reply from the seller and this one. In my opinion, all of these disadvantages are workarounds, and knowing all of this, I would still buy this car. It's nice to have one machine that can do so many things instead of 3-5 separate machines that can do a few hundred each. I'll update this after I've made some stuff, I'm very excited! clicking for days - the mechanism that attaches all the various heating elements is lost and rotates instead of staying still to attach the swivel nozzles. I was in shock trying to tighten it! I give 3 stars because I can use it until I can afford a professional one. Also, I never received any response from the seller to register it. Luckily, Revain handles returns very well and I've documented a few things, so I feel good about going back - for now.

Pros
  • PERFECT PRINT: The Teflon-coated heat transfer plate reduces the occurrence of damage and promotes easy and even heat transfer. In addition, the silicone seal and pressure adjustment knob allow for small incremental pressure adjustments to accommodate virtually any material thickness.
