Updated pt 2: I received the new machine in perfect condition. I have not used the new one yet, but did thoroughly review the machine for any defects. The customer support from Zoe was timely, communicative, polite and thorough. I appreciate all the seller has done to ensure satisfactory customer service. Changed to 5 stars.Update: was contacted by seller and they will be submitting a full replacement. The customer service was amazing and timely. placing at a 4 star until the new equipment arrives and is thoroughly looked at.Got our Heat Press today. My husband set it up and we realized the knob that tightens the pressure was cracked and one turn it started falling apart. I’m assuming something happened in transit?! Hoping to hear from the seller to get support - Amazon doesn’t seem to have the right option for this.The item heats up nicely and does iron on great… just would like a replacement knob

I recently got the HTVRONT Heat Press Machine and as a beginner, I’m impressed! The build quality is amazing - it feels very sturdy and well-made. The swing-away design makes it easy to use without worrying about burning myself. The machine heats up quickly, which saves a lot of time, and the heat is spread evenly, so my first design came out perfect.It’s great for making t-shirts and bags. The size (15x15) is perfect for most projects, and the pressure adjustment is easy to control. The machine feels professional, but it’s simple enough for beginners to use too.For the price, this is a great deal. It works just as well as some more expensive models I’ve seen. If you’re into sublimation or vinyl projects, this is definitely worth the money. It’s reliable, easy to use, and delivers high-quality results.

Pros:Aesthetically pleasing with nice cosmeticsSwivel feature is decent but mid-tier—does the job, but nothing specialHeats up fast, which is great for efficiencyCons:The system is frustrating—there’s no simple way to reset the timer. To reset it, you have to keep increasing the time, which is cumbersome and poorly designed.The pressure is abysmal. Out of 20 shirts, only 3 came out properly on the first press. The lack of even pressure across the platen makes it unreliable, and this adds a lot of wasted time and materials.Durability is a huge issue. After just a few uses, the twist knob that adjusts the pressure broke. I wasn’t even over-tightening, but the poor pressure system forces you to apply more pressure than it can handle. I’ve seen other reviews with the same issue, so it’s clearly a design flaw.Overall:While the heat press may look appealing for beginners, its functionality leaves much to be desired. It’s more hassle than help. The inability to reset the timer, the inconsistent pressure, and the fragile build make this a poor choice for anyone serious about pressing shirts. You’ll end up wasting materials and time trying to get it to work properly. For the same price, you’d be better off with a Chinese alternative, or if you’re committed to this brand, invest in a higher-end model. Unfortunately, despite its good looks, the performance and durability just don’t measure up.

Let me start by saying what great customer service I received from them even though I probably caused the issue! This is my very first heat press with the exception of a 12x12 Cricut Easy Press and a good old home iron. I was inexperienced and simply didn’t know what I was doing! The press is a beautiful machine! It is very simple to use and a nice size. I absolutely love it! I had only pressed 20-25 items since purchasing it 3 weeks earlier. I was pressing an item that required “firm” pressure. So I did just that, turned the knob until tight. I didn’t over crank it, but it was tight. As soon as it clamped down it sounded like a gunshot went off 2 feet in front of me. The knob literally blew 3 feet into the air and split into 4 pieces. My heart cracked in half, I panicked, I just destroyed my brand new machine. My husband came running when heard the “gunshot” sound go off down the hall. To find me in full out panic mode lol. He said “no worries, it could easily be fixed! Order a new knob, it didn’t damage the machine” At 9:30 pm I sent the company an email explaining everything that transpired along with a few photos. By early morning I received a reply saying they would send me a replacement knob immediately. I’m glad to say the knob was delivered and my machine is back up and running. Side Note: I have since watched 6-8 YouTube videos on how to set pressures on manual heat press’s. I will end this with saying it again:) I LOVE THIS MACHINE!

I won't even go into to trouble I have with heat presses! Do not and I repeat do not buy a Vevor auto press!! Took me 6 months to get my money back after a lot of stress.I decided I was gonna go with a reputable brand and I went with HTVRont. So far I love it and it works! (Unlike the Vevor auto press)There are reviews stating the plastic pressure attachment breaks so I got a 3 yr warranty to be safe.The only caveat is the mat is not good at all and needs to be replaced before use. Fortunately I have 2 firm mats (the ONLY thing good Abt the Vevor machine) from the 2 Vevor heatpress POJs that I got so I undid the the mat cover and replaced it with one of those and couldn't be happier! I do love that the mat attaches to the machine so it doesn't move around, however, it does need a better mat in the cover.So there is my 2 cents worth.You can't go wrong with this heatpress! And if they ever make an auto press with adjustable pressure I'll likely get it!On a side note their sub paper is great too!
