I must have sat and reviewed so many heat presses on Amazon. This one had great reviews but so did many others too. I kept flip-flopping my decision and eventually landed back to the PowerPress after seeing some video reviews. I wish I had not wasted so much time trying to find the perfect economical press because this one is EXCEPTIONAL!
This press does an awesome job. Sure, there is some inconsistency in the heat platen (about 10-15 degrees at times) but you are going to find this in a cheap hobbyist type of heat press. I'd worry more about the brand of HTV you decide to use and stick with the pro stuff like Siser or Color Theory.
I do some pretty large graphics on my press (see photo) and it does very well so far. The 15x15 area is much better than a smaller unit.
My Pros List:
The PowerPress heats up very fast (about 5-7 minutes to get to 315 degrees).
The adjustable timer and the "done" beep is a big help.
Nice rubber on the shirt pallet HAS NO SMELL AT ALL and is securely glued on.
Another selling point was the replaceable fuse and holder access if I ever needed to replace a fuse.
My Cons List:
It is very hard to pull the platen/handle back up after you press an item. I kept my pressure knob the same as the way it came from the manufacturer. I assume it is medium pressure but it is hard to release.
I wish it had holes for mounting so it doesn't move all over the place on my table.
It is not a swing-away style so you could get burnt easily when positioning your garment on the pallet. However, I opted for this style due to space limitations. That does not necessarily make this a con, just a "Beware" of how hot this is.
Overall..... I highly recommend this and don't even second guess what brand of economical heat press to buy. You will be very happy with this unit if you are just starting out and looking for a cheap heat press. I also didn't want to go with a unit with all the extra attachments like a mug and hat press because I feel that one thing should do one thing very well instead of possibly several things so-so. I'd buy this all over again if I was on a budget!
