⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Emily Tran - Hobby Crafter & Etsy Seller
"This button maker has been a game-changer for my small craft business. I purchased it in February 2025, and after 5 months of regular use, it’s still working flawlessly. The manual press is sturdy and consistent—no misfires or crooked seals. I love that I can make round, heart, and square buttons for different designs. Perfect for custom pins and fridge magnets at craft fairs!"Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Wilson - Middle School Teacher & Event Coordinator
"Used this machine to create custom buttons for our school’s science fair in April 2024—now, 8 months later, we’ve used it for three more events! The kids love designing their own badges, and the molds are easy to swap between 25mm and 37mm sizes. No electricity needed, which is great for classroom safety. Extremely durable and simple to operate."Purchase Date: April 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Alicia Mendez - Pop-Up Shop Vendor
"I bought the Base Model in November 2024 for my pop-up gift shop, and after 6 months of weekend markets, it’s held up well. I mostly make keychains and promotional pins, and the included cutting tool helps me prep designs quickly. It’s a bit slower than electric models, but the portability and low cost made it ideal for starting out. Would consider upgrading to the Advanced Model for more size options."Purchase Date: November 2024 | Usage Period: 6 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Daniel Park - Event Designer
"Created custom heart-shaped buttons for a wedding guestbook station back in January 2025—so many guests loved them that I’ve since used the machine for three more weddings. After 4 months of seasonal events, the red alloy frame hasn’t scratched or jammed. The ability to make fridge magnets and bottle openers added extra value for client gift packages. Super intuitive, even for first-time users."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 4 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Lisa Carter - Stay-at-Home Parent
"Got this as a family project tool in March 2025, and my kids (ages 8 and 10) have made over 50 buttons for teachers and friends. It’s been 3 months and we’ve had no issues—just wipe down the molds after use as suggested. The storage box keeps everything organized. Only downside is that pressing 37mm buttons takes a firm hand, so younger kids need help. Still, a fantastic creative outlet!"Purchase Date: March 2025 | Usage Period: 3 months

"In my experience advising startups, the Base Model serves as a reliable prototyping and small-batch tool.

A smart first investment before scaling to electric models."
