VEVOR Heat Press, Clamshell 12x10in Sublimation Transfer Printer, Digital Precise LCD Control Printing, Vinyl Heat Press for T-Shirts Bags Garments Mats Puzzles, 650W

I am very happy with my heat press. I am new to creating products with heat transfer with vinyl or sublimation. It was easy to put together and so far, I have had no issues. I have pressed many tshirts already and everything has come out very well. I would purchase again.

This one gets the small jobs done well. (I also have a big press too)

The media could not be loaded. It’s good for a beginner. It’s easy to use and setup. It’s pretty straightforward.The hat press doesn’t have a clamp so the hat creases because it can’t be pulled tight enough and stay tight enough without you holding it while you press it.The regular heat press for shirts works well. It can be adjusted well and I’ve figured it out. I usually have to press it a little longer than the vinyl says but I’m not sure if that’s the vinyl or the press.The cup press doesn’t work for water bottles or tumblers. But it would work for a mug.Overall it’s good. I’ve used it a bunch! I just wish the hat press part was better.

Overall I’ve been happy with this. Does a much better job pressing cricut vinyl than my home iron. However the directions left a lot to be desired and I’m assuming they were written by someone whose first language is not English. Luckily I have a friend with the same press and she helped me set it up.

Aesthetically it's very appealing and looks nice. Unfortunately, looks aren't everything. My unit had scratches in the teflon coating. Since the platen is steel and not aluminum, those scratches are going to be susceptible to rusting. I guess Vevor QA was asleep when this was approved to ship.The biggest issue imo is it's uneven pressure. In one of my photos you can see the back springs are pressed down quite a bit more than the front ones. I experimented by using a scale to gauge the pressure difference from the back to front. With medium pressure I was getting 122 lbs of force in the back, and 67 lbs of pressure in the front. That's almost twice as much force being applied to the back. This only caught my attention after 3 failed presses in a row where half my design was lighter on one side. My only remedy was to put the pressure so high that I felt it could compromise the structure of the product.Now speaking of structure, the arm that extends out to hold the platen is only plastic. I thought for sure it was going to be metal, with just a plastic covering for aesthetics. Nope, the entire arm is plastic, see second photo. When you set the pressure high, there is a fair amount of flex. I don't trust this for long term use. There are cheaper swing arm presses where this part is metal. What a weird thing to cut cost on.Another major issue I was running into was this presses inability to maintain 400 degrees. Often while pressing, it would dip down as low as 370 degrees while it was set to 400. I ended up maxing it's temperature at 410 degrees in the hopes that it would stay around 400. It would still dip down to 380. I can't recommend this press for sublimation. It's too risky wasting blanks when temperatures can't stay close to 400.A couple positive things to say about it... I like the control box better over other swing arm presses. It looks nicer, and the buttons are tactile and easy to press. Not like the cheap flat membrane controls you find on most budget heat presses. The upper platen body does not get very hot because it is insulated with some sort of fabric, and then the plastic shroud. Risk of getting burned with this unit is very low.It's definitely a product of form over function. Looks great, but worthless to me if it can't maintain heat or provide even pressure.

Love it

This my first heat press and I was so excited to use it. It heats up ok and presses ok, but the only thing that doesn't work is the timer. It has never worked. Additionally the temperature changes a lot also when pressing and heating up. It's so strange.

I bought this vector heat press kit with attachments 3 weeks ago and…I love it!!! I’ve been using the press as well as the attachments almost daily for 3 weeks straight and they work amazing. This was the best deal so I was weary about the functionality but I was wrong. The press works amazing and the shipping was unbelievable, I ordered this product on Thursday and it arrive free shipping on Friday afternoon. For the price of this kit, the quality, functionality, processing, shipping and value were superior by far to the others I have considered. I would and am recommending these presses to anyone who is looking 😁
